Help me decide which wheels to get
#21
Ok so i think i have made up my mind on the boss wheels pictured above, my next question is tire size. I was thinking of doing a square 275/25/19 setup. The wheels are 19x9 with a +42 mm offset and 6.7" backspace. Will these tires fit in the fenders w/o rubbing? Would it be better to buy the staggered wheels 19x9 and 19x10 and go with like 255 in the front and 275 or 285 in the back? Also, i am going to want to paint the calipers when i do this, what color do you think would look best: black, silver, red, or buy the paint to match DIB paint??

Definitely red paint. It just stands out the most on any car. I think if you put the ford racing caps on or the tribar pony caps on it'll tie in the red. Yellow/gold calipers would also be really cool but might be too much going on.

Brembos come in all colors depending on the type of car...I wouldn't worry about it if you painted them red. Now I wouldn't put brembo stickers on them

Ok so I've decided I will paint my calipers red and buy some boss 302 wheels. Which will be better staggered 19X9 & 19X10 with 285 and 255 tires or a square set up with 275s on 19x9's?

If youre just lookin for a sweet cruiser for daily driving i think the squared set-up will be better. In the long run at least

Had the AMR before but was disappointed with their paint quality and finish, hope the Avant Garde are better !
