Now considering Boyd Coddington rims

I can only find them in 17-8's or 18-9's. Can't find the offset for them either. I guess a trip to discount tire is in my future hopefully Friday or saturday. I was thinking the 18's out back and 17's up front. Can I fit 275's on a 8 inch rim without it looking bad? If not I will put the widest tire I can up front. Probably a 265-40-17? and out back 275's or 285's -235 or 240-18's Let me know if you have any better ideas. Probably use nitto 555 performance tires all around.

let me know what you find out cause I got the black t/a at the meet and greet his boyds and they are 17x9 front 17x11 rear I can beat discounts price let me know,I wasnt to happy with boyds quality when he got the wheels either plus polished wheels are alot of work and pricey

You can put 275s on an 8" rim but itll look rediculous on that car.... would look okay on older cars with smaller rims like 15".

Save yourself the pain and dont get Nitto's.

hands down dont care what anyone else says nitto drags are the best street and track tire to buy for cars that have power. mine hook great on the street and strip

I don't plan on drag slicks anymore........Just to regular performance tires. I was thinking about laying down a good coat of zaino on the rims or a good rim polish. I am also going to switch to some break pads that don't emmit alot of dust. I don't think that the boyd rims come in 17-11's?? If they do I don't feel like going through all the trouble of fitting them on my car. Would 255's look good up front with 275's out back on those rims? How does a 18 - 17 combo look on fbody's?

1fstbrd how can you get me a better deal?

[transampimp]

How about the 17-10's? all around? Or is that way to wide without doing some work?

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I think 17X10 on the back and 17X9 on the front would look real good.

I have 17x10 Smoothies all around. They fit fine.

Check out the Boyd Coddington Smoothies! Bad ass on fbodies!

I never really considered the Smoothies. The Junkyard dogs have that TT2 look to them but a little more smoother. The smoothies kind of come out of the rim a bit? I'm going to Discount to see if they have them on the shelf to look at. What size tires should I go with on 17-10's?
