RE: 18" rim/tire pics....make this one count

is it just me or does BlackPhantomGT's front wheel's or tires look alot bigger than the rear ones? I know there is a side wall difference 40 series vs 45 series, but to me that looks like a hell of a difference. The rear shot looks awsome.

I think it is an illusion because the driveway is slanted and the picture is taken from the front to the back.

Very good thread, Stoenr I might just keep my fanblades after seeing your pics. Although munson makes me want to get the black dd bullitts that I planned on purchasing. I can't wait to see more pictures.

By the way, munsun, do all Discount Tires carry them because I would definately take a visit.

They did have to order them for me. They only carry the regular bullets "in stock".

Actually tire diameter is same as factory diameter, 27". I've noticed the difference too, but it's gotta be illusion. You check the specs if you care to http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/asset...rce_ta_kdw.pdf

Here's some pics of 18x9 deep dish bullets. The tires are goodyear f1 255/45/18. The car is lowered on eibach proline. Hope this helps.

God that ride is just sick!!! I love it!!

Oh, and the tires are some sticky **** tires thats for sure!
Today I had the 1st chance to try them in the rain and I would swear it was dry out. Thats how good they are in the rain too.
Quiet tires, cant even hear them.

RE: 18" rim/tire pics....make this one count

Can anyone give me a guesstimate as to about what size they think these tires are? And I'm talking about the tire width, not sidewall or diameter.
