Default wheels

hey everyone i just got my car out from body shop from an accident i had not so long ago..well now she is looking great. my next move is what kind of wheels should i get? i was going for the toque thrust wheels 17x8 in the back, and 17x7 in the front. my question is what tire size should i get? i was thinking of going for 245's all round, and then lowering the front because I have air shocks in the back. oh yeah forgot one thing what typ of shocks are good out there? peace

The best shocks that will give you the best bang for the buck are the KYB air
shocks. Koni's are very expensive, but damn good shocks.

If you took the time to read Dodgestangs chart, you will readily see that the 18X9 is not a good choice. You would have to roll the fenders, and buy spacers to clear the springs and fender. Stick with the 17's idea.

Just for reference.....they are KYB Gas adjust shocks......not AIR shocks
