The wheels look great. Have a very unique sheen/look to them.

Your car must be putting out 475+ at the crank with a bama race tune. Why go with an 8.5" wheel that will limit you to a 255 in the rear??

Maybe your a drifter?? Not being critical at all just trying to understand why.

I bought them from a friend that owns a wheel shop that gave me a good deal on a tire/wheel package, down the road i might sell the rear wheels and buy 20x10s with some 305s.

That's funny. I was kinda wishing that they had more of MY CAR on them.

nice wheels 275 can't fit the front without some lower offset, best bet is what u have, on the back it can clear 295 no problem

did you get the gt500 struct mount when u install the H&R spring? i heard people having clunking noise without that thick mount upgrade
