love the wheels

[brink]

your car is way to nice to be putting huge tires / wheels on .. what size are those? Mine are 16' wheels with the stock tires and they look great in my opinion.. well, when the tires are clean..

[shenanigans]

car looks ok, but looks like you could go with a less low profile tire next time, Sidewalls look to thin...

car looks nice though [img]smile.gif[/img]


:edit: noticed you mentioned it in you post.

PS good job on shaved doors can't even tell

[Loochy88]

like the wheels a lot. why'd you move the ground effect though?

doors look awesome, nice job.

I like it except for the trans am decal on the back

[98'MidnightBlueBird']

To clear up some info....

Im removed that trans am decal today :D

Lowered GFX only by 1-2 inches to make the car look lower...but you cant even tell, it looks normal...

the tires are @ a 235/40/18... and im going to put on something wider thats made for a 9" wide rim... 235 is not even reccomended b/c its sooo small, once these tires wear out, something like 275/40/18 and 285/40/18 in the rear [img]graemlins/bowdown.gif[/img]

And Shenanigans.... go higher then 40MM on the sidewalls.... haha no way! nost guys with 18's run 35MM sidewall hieght! I just need a wider tire for my 18/9 rims... thats all( i had to use my old tires on my previous rims)

[SilverBirdSeven]

All I have to say is those wheels look damn hot!! Nice car.

[casketcrewchick]

Looking good!!!!

[Shirl]

Car looks great. Nice wheels! Only thing IMO that it needs is a Ram-Air WS6 hood.

...Maybe you've made a mistake here, or maybe you don't quite understand tire markings?

Yeah I think so too...

Tire sizes go

275/35/18

275 is the width, 35 is 35% of the width, and 18 is the Rim size, on an 18 in rim.

So the 275mm on the width of the wheel, then 35% of the side, so the sidewall will be ~137.5 mm. Not 35 mm.

on 235/35, sidewall is going to be ~82.5 mm

[98'MidnightBlueBird']

oo yeah sorry i didnt mean to put MM on the sidewall when i wrote 235/40/18, but still shenaigans the point is that i do not need a bigger sidewall. I do not need a 235/45-50/18. I need a 275/35-40/18. Its just that the tires are so skinny they make the side wall look indented... hahah b/c they are...

A 275/40/18 on my 18 inch rims with 9" inch width would be perfect ;) .

Sorry for the people who i threw off, trust me i understand tire markings... ahha.

HAhah 16's look fine? MMm not in my book, i think that most f-boday enthusiast like the look of 17's-19's on their cars. ( from stock ws-6 wheels- to CCW's)
