Default Damn soo lost L:)

I swear it's about that time to look into some new booties for the car.

Id like larger than the stock 16's on the car 245/50 16s bfgoodrich g-force comp t/a kdws.

Seems kinda overwhelming trying to figure out what to get etc. I guess for traction Id like the wider rear tires with the taller profiles but then im worried about more traction than the stock rear can handle

I really don't like the idea of the BFH mods that seems to be needed on some sizes.

Any package wheel/tire combos suggestions? SOrt give me a heads up on where to focus my research. Just seem over whelmed with info

contact tomzwheels for pricing....as far as what looks the best is all opinion....i think Zr1s and Z06s while looking good are a bit overplayed....tt2s are a great set of wheels but also overplayed..i guess it all depends on what your price range is...there is a sticky at the top of this forum that is a giant folder of pictures....use that to see what you like

Yea, Ive been browsing there on an off for a day or two now. Guess I am sorta steering towards a black and silver rim set.

Just with stock height and such, can I still get an 18 inch rim that wont rub on the rear and 17s in the back.

Or would 17s prolly be just fine? As long as I get say a 10.5 for the rears and liek 9.5 fronts?

Never really thought about 8.5 9.5 10.5 before. Just always looked at 16 and then went by the 2xx/xxr16 stuff hehe.. Feel like such a noob

Ya jotted down their number after visiting his site. I guess he has more sizes and such than listed on his site?

I asked it in the other thread.. but why arent 315s shown for 18 rims? I see em only on 17s. Also thought the sticky said there was no modding needed for the 315s if on the 10 or 10.5 tires. Shrugs.
