Keep the saleens and buy the 4th off of American Muscle w/ your forum discount and any holiday deals that they have going on right now. Your car looks sick with the saleens on, although why are you running such small tires on the front?

^ For an 18x9 a 275/40 would fit really nice.

No, a 265 or 275 are the best fit on a 9 inch wheel. A 305 is better suited for a 10 or 10.5 inch wheel. And I'm glad you are sticking with the chrome saleens. It would be hard to ask my dad to help spring for a whole new set of wheels. And get the extra wheel soon, I know American Muscle has a special on them that will end soon.

if i decided to get a new set, my dad would still just buy one, i would pay for 3 of them. but i do think that i am just gonna stick with the chrome saleens. im supposed to be getting my 4:10s installed on tuesday, so if i decided to buy a new set of rims the gears would be on hold for a little bit longer.

I can't believe your dad would do that in your car hahaha. He doesn't even know the car well enough to go ***** to the wall! or maybe he does. idk lol

Just buy a new wheel and check your alignment if it's the front wheel. Make sure he pays for mount/balance tooo

Ya I no, old man driving his sons car like a bada$$ and ends up on the curb. He is taking care of everything tho, rim, mount, balance, and allignmet. He felt horrible about it.

I'm ordering my new back tires tomorrow too. I'm just gonna get 285s again. I'm most likely going to get the nitto nt05 tires. I don't go to the track or anything, I just need a tire that will hook up with my 4:10s. Anyone have any problems with this tire or no of another tire that I should get instead?
