I don't drive in the rain...but I can tell you they are awsome on dry pavement! I just got mine from Jeg's about a month ago. Front's are 275's and the rears are 315's.

What offsets are those rear wheels? That's the look I'm going for.

36 mm offset. I bought these wheels from West Coast Corvettes about 3 1/2 years ago. Great quality! Good luck.

You parked on your flower bed!! Your wife/mom must love that!

Great pictures though! How do you like the m/t up front? I would think that the steering response would be kinda mushy???

No mushiness here Stang's Bane. Actually, I feel more confident around corners then my previous BFG G-Force TA KD's. Out of the hole, she's goes straight as an arrow. I just wish I had the power most of you guy's have so I could put the 315's to the test! To anybody who wants awsome tires...go for it...get them!
By the way, my flower beds are doing fine. LOL

The front's and rear's are both ET Street Radials. 3743R & 3744R

Why would you put drag radials on the front of a RWD car?

Hmm those look nice I think I'm going to pick up a set once I wear my Nittos out.

Has anyone gone from a Nitto nt55r to these yet? If so how much better do the MT's hook?

I went from the Nitto's to mine, and te diffrence is rediculous! I could blow my Nitto's off in 1st and kick it out sideways when i hit second. All these MT's do are give a slight chirp when they hit second.

MT's throw up loads of ****, some of my friends couldn't even follow my car it threw up so many rock on the interstate...i have the old tread design though, maybe the new one helps out...

And putting mt on the front is just strange, you just want to throw rocks all across the side of your car...

I can tell you one thing for sure............



A 315 Mt will fit on a 17x9 rim................Looks like **** though!!!

The guy was going to town mounting them and I caught him and said "WHOA!!!!, Something ain't right !!!

NO big deal, I called tomz Wheels and they will get it straight on Tuesday

Of course I got in before the GP


You can technically mount almost any tire on any rim if its within a couple inches of the width of the rim but from our standpoint as car guys,just because you can mount it doesnt mean it fits, your wrong.

2nd.. why the hell would someone put mts on the front??
