SHOW US YOUR WHEELS 2005-2009 S-197 GEN 1 Only *
17x8 torq-thrustII w/+25 offset (5.5 BS), 255-50 (stock diameter) & 275-50 (+.8" diameter over stock) Nitto 450s. stock springs
I like the stuffed wheelwells, and rides great compared to the shorter sidewall 18s, surely softened the handling a bit though... but think I shoulda went 255 all around, the fronts are bulky enough to almost fill the rear wheelwell, and they coulda been rotated...
update: drivers side rubbed ever so slightly when bottomed out- made a shim for the bumpstops to prevent that...also looking at a cross country trip, 4 people+luggage, added airlift 1000 bags- 15 psi levels it fully loaded, no worries of riding the bumpstops excessively. pics here:
