It's not you...it's Image Shack, they don't permit image tags.

Actually...someone just send me a PM with pics posted in the message directly, and he had image shack...so maybe it's not them?

I guess you're doing it wrong then? Just use {img} and {/img} but with [] and stick the url of the pic between them....works for me.

Umm I host pictures from imageshack onto here and other forums with image tags all the time.

All you need to do is put this minus the quotation marks: "[img] YOUR LINK [/img]"

Edit: I usually use the last link selection they offer once you upload the picture - Direct Link

Hey dude...how hard was it for you to get a hold of those tires, and how much did you pay for them? Those are the ones I want next, and I heard that they are on backorder.

Manny....$540 shipped from tirerack. They were low on left side (i believe) inventory when i ordered them about a week and a half ago.

I think its one of the front (275/40/17) sized are the ones 'really' hard to get ahold of right now.

When I get mine, I want a complete set. I hate nothing more than having different looking tires on my car. For some reason I did manage to wear out the fronts just as badly as the rears...lol

Yea, when my KDW's up front wear out, im gonna go with KD's up front as well. The KDW's looked badass compared to the tires i had out back before the KD's. Now the KDW's look like all weather tires vs. the KD's. Ha.

Oh well, the Yokos will have to hang on for a while still. If all else fails I can always strap on the Saladshooter wheels off of my friends 95 V6 Camaro, she bought Z06 wheels and I get to babysit her old wheels and tires in my shed.

What's the backspacing on these wheels? It looks like they tuck in really close.

With stock LCA's, I had to bang in the outer lip of the LCA on both sides, as well as use the BFH on the inner rear fender. This was using AFS ZR1 50mm 17x11's and Kumho 315/35/17 V710's . Still had some minor inside rubbing, so I threw on a 7/32" spacer. I have to remove that spacer when I use my street wheels else they rub on the fender under compression. 710's have a pretty rounded shoulder so no problem with the fender.

I recently switched to Dunlop 290/645R17 slicks, which are just as wide as the 315's but the shoulders are basically square, and no problems at all also using the spacer.
