here is my buddy's car running the 9.5/10.5 +15 setup (with 255/275 tires):


and here is my other friend with the same rims as the other one but with a 245 front tire (lowered more):





same brand of tires (Sumitomo HTR ZIII)


Thats looks sick as hell. I have the redline also. Working on funds for a good set of coilovers. Will post pics soon as theyre on!

yeah the sbc is really nice.

I forgot I had all these pictures of the rims you were looking for. lol, oh well. I wouldn't have amused myself as much at your expense if I remembered earlier.

you can see how much a 10mm difference makes for how the car looks. the 245 ruins the look while the 255 is nice and full.

edit: and if you didn't actually buy these rims I am gonna FFFFUUUUUUUUUU

What do you guys think about running 10.5 +15 all around with 265s? I've been thinking about ordering those in silver but I'm not sure if I'd have any clearance issues.

the only reason to run a 10.5 inch rim in the front is to simply be able to tell people that you run a 10.5 inch in the front.

if you do, you'll need to have camber and toe adjustment and coil overs to get your ride height correct.

One more thing: Do you think I can fit 265/40/18 - front and 285/40/18 - rear- on 9.5 width wheels? The meatier the better. What would be the best.

35 series tires will be fine. A 285/40 is taller than the stock 245/45/18.

You could use one of the online tire calculators, or you could understand the math behind it (quite simple).

[(285mm*.40 (sidewall) * 2 (upper and lower sidewall)* 1")/25.4] + 18" (wheel height) = 26.98" tall


The stock wheel is 245*.45*2/25.4 + 18 = 26.68" tall

there are a lot of considerations you must make when choosing tire sizes.
