Default New Wheels (Pics inside)

It was a nice day today so I thought it be a good time to throw on my new wheels and tires.
17x9 chrome bullets with Falken Ziex 255/50 front and 275/50 rear. With the Roush rear springs installed, there is almost no fender gap in the rear now.

Thank you. I had black bullets on there and it was just too much. Needed some chrome on there. After carefully shopping for a while I got the the whole thing done for just under $1100. The car actually rides nicer than with stock tires. Headers and cams next month. Hopefully that should put a stop to my mod addiction, for a while at least.

I'm not a chrome guy, but I am definitely a bullitt guy! Great choice! Enjoy them! Interesting tire size choice. I like it!

Looks great! One quesiton tho, Why did you choose to just lower the rear and not the front as well?

I was happy with the front end height. Just the rear was a eyesore to me. So after the spring change, the car was level. After putting the tires on, it raised the rear ride height by about .25. So it has a little bit of raked look now, but still lower than stock.
