Well I finally got the Junk Yard Dogs ( 4 week wait ) and BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT tires mounted.

The Fronts are 255/45-18 with a 18x9" wheel....

The Rears are 285/40-18 with a 18x10" wheel...

I think that they look great, but hey, it is just an opinion....

The wheels are the Boyd Coddington Junk Yard Dogs...

You can get them at Discount Tire ( www.discounttire.com )

However, the 18x10" are not stock wheels and can take up to 4 weeks to get...

I am not sure about the NT vs. TT. I do know that they are the second generation of the KDW series... ( Better wet traction I think ? )

the difference is the tread. the more standard looknig tread which you and i have is the TT. the NT tread looks like squigly snakes gonig through the tire.

Great looking rims! You lucky junkyard dog! HEHEHE. How do you like the tires? I have the KDW's with the NT and they are perhaps the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. I've had Eagle GT's and Kuhmo's and these are rougher. What do you have yours inflated to? I am at 40 and I guess I could go down to 35.

The Stripes are painted...It was done by a local shop...


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Looks good man! what did you do with your stockers?[/b][/quote]

They are in my garage. It think I might try to sell them.... The tires only have 5K on them...


<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>What do you have yours inflated to?[/b][/quote]

Mine are inflated to 35psi... They do ride a little rougher, but that it due to the shorter side wall of the 18 vs. 17" wheel. The handling is excellent however...

I luv those Coddington JYD rims.
I just bought the same size Coddingtons from DTD, but the Smoothie IIs and I am going to put mine on the car next week.
I am using Pirelli PNERO tires same size as yours. Car is being painted for last two weeks.

It was a tough choice between the Smoothie II and the JYD wheels. I loved the look of both of them....

Please post a pic once you get them.....
