hey boys, need pics of GN's with the Big 'n' Little Look!

[GNFURY]

This is the look I want! I'm gonna be runnin the Nitto 275 60 15
DR out back with Weld prostars, 15.8 in the rear. Lets see those pics! What do you guys recommend for a front tire/wheel size that is skinny enough to give the look I want, but wide enough for safe street use/handling?

I don't have a GN, but an 87 T..

I run 295/50/15's on the back and 205/75/15 on the front.. All on ProStars..

I have run a 185/65/15 on the front but like the ride, handle of the 205/75 much better...

Your car looks great, man! Your choice of wheel/tire size is exactly what I'm looking to do with my current Monte SS.
If you don't mind, what back spacing are you running on those wheels?

Thanks

i have the weld prostars... i kinda dont like them, i'll show you why... but i have 15x6 in the front with 215/65's w/ a 3.5" backspacting and 15x10 on the back with a 4" backspacing (i think!) and 255/60's... look at the picture in my sig to get an idea of what it looks like...

and this is why i dont like welds...

Picture 1

Picture 2

Picture 3

the 15x10's havent given me any trouble and i have gone through 3 fronts... soon i am going over to 15x7's in the front... so if you want to buy my 15x6's we could work something out... both are new, but one wobbles because i hit a pothole...

Beautiful car STP.

 

[STP]

Thx disco!! Which one did you like best?

 

[disco stu]

The WO2. That is one hard lookin T. Looks great on those Monocoques. Hate to stomp on a thread, so I would like to know in a PM or Email if you had to use a plenum spacer with that 4" pipe. Gonna try Steve Y's ME-R, and I have a 4" pipe on the way, so it would be good to know.

 

[STP]

Thx, those are actually Bogarts. That's a yes on the spacer...You'll also need to get the IAC relocation piece. I like the looks of the WO2 better too, but my buddies would have shot me if I put 15" wheels on the silver car : )
