  • New shoes for the SS and some handme downs for the V6

    I got my new wheels and tires mounted and balanced and put on the car today. They're Halibrand Grand Sport chromes in 18x9.5 with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A in 275/35/18. I took the ZR1's off and swapped them onto the V6. I threw in a couple comparison pics of 17's and 18's side by side and 16's and 18's side by side.

        Nice rims...

        The v6 looks a little tall now, any plans for lowering?

          I think it looks tall because I jacked it up and it hasn't settled back down yet. Not going to lower it since I need to have some clearance to drive it in the snow! I'd love to lower it but it just won't cut it when we get 6+ inches of snow at once!

                      Oh yeah, I forgot to include the pic of where I "scuffed" the new tires in!!!



                      It was just a short clutch dump but left a couple nice black marks!

                        I expect bigger marks than that Wade. I like the new wheels, can't wait to see them.

                            Well, I was half way up my driveway and launching into my garage. I didn't feel like plowing through the back wall! I need to take a pic of my "Burnout Area" sign in my garage.
