replacing stock 235/55 17's with...

FR S8N · 06-10-2008, 11:05 AM

245/45/17 Nitto drag radials. Will it my rear look funny?

yes it will sit low that tire is almost full inch shorter

It wont look bad. The only thing that will look bad will be the gap between the tire and wheel well.

It actually doesn't look as bad as i thought it would. The gap isn't very attractive. I guess I'll only mount them when I go to the track.

I'll order them today. Thanks "stock96'pony", that was exactly what i wanted to see.

edit: I take it the front ones are 235/55's ?

do you have more pics of your car with the black wheels?

what are the specs on those wheels and tires?
