new wheels and tires......w/ pics
well i finally ditched the old 40k mile tires that came with my car when i bought it about 3 years ago. ive had some skinnies in my garage for over a year that i never put on but after getting new tires for the rear.....thank you easton, i bought somedrag litesto match the front and put them all on. the front tire is a 165/50 r15 and the rear is a 275/60 r15 MT et street. with a 5.5" back space the tires fit perfect. be cause my car sits about an inch lower then stock i had to........."massage" the fender lip with a rubber hammer to make sure i had space for wheel travel but other then that it all went together nicely............yes i know my car is filthy and needs paint[:@]

stanger, the car is running great. very torque and fun to drive around town. the motor isnt tuned so i cant really get on it too hard yet. i was going to go today but then something came up. the trans brake isnt wired yet but thats not NEEDED for the track......i just want it when i go.
the tires up front are so narrow, its like having power steering again since there is so much less contact with the ground. couldnt possibly be easier to steer
