Hey! Got the new wheels.......17"

[8UWITH6]

why 50 series on the front and 45 on the rear with the same width? Just curious..........WHEELS LOOK GREAT!

 

[Red Regal T]

The 50s on the rear are about a half to three quarters of an inch taller than the 45s on the front. Big/little..........not by much, but noticeable. Same width tires. I considered the 45s all the way around because Sumitomo HtRZs were on sale for $81 each. I tried the 45s on the rear, and they just looked too little to me. I knew I wouldn't be satisfied, so stuck with the same combination I have on my Red T.

Hey thanks! Nice talking to you, too. Goin' to the Nats?

John, I read front/rear bassackwards, my bad, see you at the nats! Car looks great

PS- I see you have the Fusions on there, how do you like em? I have the old RE730 Bridgestones on my 16" GTAs, but have really been looking into the new Fusions.

Wow those look real good John. Really fill up that wheel well. I had to trim up the top edges of the rear lip and trim on mine pretty good to get the 315's in there with it lowered and all but man it looks really good. Mike says it looks really evil. Tried to get that EVIL GN on my plate but it was gone. Now if I could get my paint was as nice as yours I would be THRILLED.

I like them. Don't hook as good as my Sumitomo 16" tires but, I'm satisfied with their appearance. They are among the most inexpensive 17" tires. I don't like the Kumhos.
