Hey all - as promised I'm posting some photos of my wheels and tires (bare with me if the photos are bad, I'll keep trying till I get it right).

These babies are:
18x9.5 Kazera KZA's (45mm Offset)
275/40 BFG G-Forge T/A KDW's (on all four corners)

I had 255/45 on order but when I arrived at Discount Tire the manager mounted a 275/40 on one wheel to compare. Let me tell you - I feel in LOVE. The 275's looked killer on that rim. At first I was reluctant to run 275's all the way around but now I'm glad I did. I have no issues what so ever.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers_Jay

Sweet! I was looking at those, trying to make up my mind between them and a couple of other ones. That certainly argues in their favor! Good choice.

 

Wheels look killer. Nice color on the car too!

 

Very nice! Those are the size wheels and tires that I'm thinking about getting. Can you post some pics looking straight at the back and/or the front so I can compare the tire width to stock?

 

Come on man... How you gonna post that without a rear shot?? Lets see!!

 

Also I don't really know how to read tire sizes, so basically, what is the difference between the tires you ordered and the ones you got?

 

Good combo ....time for a drop?

 

Very nice, looks good!

 

That car is gonna look mean with lowering it 1.5 to 2 inches......looking good man

 

Thanks everyone... and yes I definitely want to lower the car.

I'll post some rearend pictures tomorrow (it's dark outside).

Moe- check out this reference guide at Big Custom Wheels

Again Thanks - I love the justification of spending money _Jay

 

That's the coolest site I've seen in a long time. Thanks!

 

Lookin' good Jay. Albuquerque huh. I was born in Rio Rancho and grew up in the North East Hights.

Nick - Sweet! How did you like ABQ? I was born and raised here. Moved away a couple of times but came back because theres no place like it.

Cheers_Jay

 

I loved it. Last time I was there was in '92. I miss the snow.

ON topic...I like these rims. I like the black better though.

 

Yeah - I love the black as well, especially with the mineral grey. The wife had a little say in it - consequently "the wheels are chrome". lol

You need to get some Armoral or Tire Wet on those babies!

 

Sweet!

 

Reminds me a bit of the 03 Cobra rims. Looks good

 

Thanks for all the great replys!!!



Still wondering if I shold lower it or not?

 

I personally prefer it as is. I like that raised rear on a muscle car. To each his own though.

On the road, the car's large body looks like its at the perfect height off the road. Pictures seem to suggest a drop though. I trust what I see in person. Mine will be staying at a stock height when rims/tires eventually come in.
