Yes sir, Jeg's has them on sale now so I pulled the trigger. I wanted the RTS wheels the most, but couldn't afford them. Post up if you go that route, would love to see them on a G body.

Ya thats me to I had the Pro Stars on my Last T and I just think they are over done on the T's Im still saving up for them looks to be around $2000 with tires and tubes and It pains me to screw tires to rears but that will have to be done to
We shall see how much money comes in over X mas as of right now sales for our company are so slow we just laid off 2 guys

Looks great. I figured it was back halved. I was hoping to put 315's on my car, but doubt they will fit with only a notch.

Thanks...When I started my rear suspension upgrade, I had my mind made up to stuff a 315/60 under the car. After alot of measuring and figuring, we couldn't get the 315 inside the wheel well with just notching the frame. I wanted the sidewall to be inside the wheel well and to be able to get it down over the sidewall.

I could get a 295/65 inside with a full notch. With a 295/65 or 315/60, you will have to go with a full tub to sit the tire up inside and have a lower ride height. The factory tub rolls down and hits the sidewalls where it meets the wheel well lip.

Once we figured we couldn't get the 315 inside with a notch, the decision was made to backhalf the car. Things just kind of snowballed from there...
