New TT2's for the Firehawk

Just got new shoes and I had the car lowered with Strano springs and the car already had Koni adj struts and shocks. The rims are TT2's with a staggered 17" on the front and 18" with all BFG's KDW2 on all four corners. 275-40-17 in front nd 295-35-18 out back. Here are some pics.

Very nice I love it I like the Iroc Spoiler too.

when the rear tires are done get 305-35-18 it will look awesome in the rear.

Where did you get TT2 in 18???

Maybe next time I'll get wider tires I just did not want to roll the fenders.

I work at a Ford dealership and had all the work done there. Sometimes I store my Hawk in the lower showroom during the winter months "HEATED". Theres a couple great Tech's at my work that I trust to do anything to my Hawk.

Very nice!

But then again, I'm sort of partial to black T/A's with TTII's.

Looks nice, but 18s up front would have looked a little better IMHO. Tires look thicker up front since they are both 26" tall tires and the fronts have a thicker sidewall.

To my knowledge he was going to buy the tires for the rear and never bought them. He did give me his BFG kdw2 17" for upfront. If you look at all his posts they all are of the front rims only. He gave me the rear 18" rims never mounted.

As for the taillights and side markers I used hobbyshop tint.
