by coreys73chevelle Sat May 02, 2009 11:44 pm

I went with some 295/40r18s for price example, & you could still pocket about $100. Nice wheel design BTW. Should be next year's cover car for the calendar right? afro

by coreys73chevelle Fri Nov 20, 2009 10:11 pm

thanks Rago.
these will be the street tires and wheels. the sizes i get are not decided yet. but i want 18" wheels rear, 17s front and these would give it a nice look thats going around right now then the muscle car look will be on with slicks and draglites with front skinnies. ill get the windows tinted as dark as legal

by 74Malibu383 Mon Nov 23, 2009 12:04 pm

Don't go anything smaller than 275's in the rear. Those wheel wells are huge... it'll look puny.
