Default Getting the torque thrust II's in Dec, some questions.....

I will be getting the Torque Thrust II's for my b-day in December, pretty cool huh?

I am going to have to buy the tires for them though, lol

I was wondering what you people think I should do, go with the 17"s all around, empty my airshocks? for that new school Chip Foose look, of like big rims and a flat stance.

Or should I go with the 15"s in the front, and 16"s in the back, 80psi in the airshcoks, with a pair of BFG Drag Radials [8D]

I don't know what tire size exactly, prob around the same size tires I have now, or maybe a little different, as of right now I have 14" rims.

So what do you guys think I should do? new school or old school?

The first thing I would do would to get rid of those air shocks and get some KYB gas adjust shocks.

Yea, Soaring im not getting air shocks anymore. If you want your car higher then add leaf springs. Air shocks will put to much pressure on the body and cause shocks.

Default Torque Thrusts II's

Well I have decided what I want to do, I am going to go with the set of 17X8, with 4 Yokohama AVID H4s tires (there high performance tire, about 105 a piece), size 235/45/17, this website shows a stang with them

Tires are kinda thin I guess, but I am no hot-rodder really, especially with the new paint I have planned for it soon I will have to baby it, either way these tires will provide much better performance all around than my current no name tires [>:]

Yokohama makes a pretty good tire. So, you won't go wrong with them. I am just an old Goodyear man, and have been for years now.
