Got My chrome razors

Toyo proxy 4's 295/30 rear 255/35/20 front. Raised the car up about 1/4 inch. Added about 14lbs per tire and wheel in the rear and added about 11lbs per tire and wheel in the front. The stock rim and tire weighed 49lbs on my scale. First impressions are that these tires are noisier than the stockers. Got them off of ebay seller rt tire. Fast shipping good feedback. Ansered the phone when I called and returned my emails pretty quickly also.
Looking at it now next time I will go with a little more side wall in the rear.

Wife is back to normal.... time to buy another mod LOL

Does any one know what tire pressure I should run? The came with 45lbs in them. I lowered that to 35 lbs. Also does any one know what I should tq the lug nuts too. I assume the same 100 ft lbs the stock rims are tq at?

What rear tire size would you have gone with then?

This is the exact tire setup I'm considering with the Eibach Pro drop.

I don't know off hand. I wanted as wide of a tire as I could get on the rim. I was kind of stuck in a price range of 200 per tire also. In that price range to go with more side wall I would have to give up some width. But as far as matching stock tire hight these tires are right there.

Looks good Glenn....... I would agree that a little more sidewall would look great.

Tom- What tire size would yield the 'perfect' sidewall height in a 275/285/295 tire width?

Glenn- Have any shots straight on the width of the 295's? Would like to get a perspective on how wide they look.

40+ if you ask me. My 275/40s are about as small as I would go, just my opinion.

Bill are you going with a 20 inch rim? I think another 1/2 on mine would look great which would be a 295/35/20 which would throw my speedo off by about 2 mph. I can tell you I spent a lot of time here and it was helpfull

I will get you a picture when I get home this afternoon Bill.

Yup, planning on 20's. I'm not sure a 295/35/20 tire exists.
