RE: Wheels! I need wheels!

Yeah they looked skinny.

I think I'll aim for 255/45s in the rear and 245s in the front.

RE: Wheels! I need wheels!

yah well the tires i got retail at just under 200 each, i got them used (almost new) for 250 for ALL 4 mounted and ballanced... i coudlnt say no.. meant i could have my rims put on that day... now i kinda regret it, from a side view the bigg walls looks tight, but the skinnyness of the tires sucks.

RE: Wheels! I need wheels!

What's a decent brand tire nowadays? 255s seem a little demanding of my wallet, now that I look at them. [>:]

RE: Wheels! I need wheels!

Yeah, I was eyeing those too. What about the Toyo's?

I recognize Toyo (mostly from Forza Motorsport on Xbox!

) but not half of these brands.

RE: Wheels! I need wheels!

at my local saleen dealer i asked what type of springs were on the saleen and was it lowered and they said it wasnt because they already almost touch the wheel well so im not sure but, any bigger than stock might rub with saleen wheels

So anyone know the largest size you can go with those GT take-offs from Saleen?

Hey paul, really fun talking with you.

Got another question, the center caps on those Luff's, have you managed to change them? Tribar pony caps would rock.

RE: Wheels! I need wheels!

Almost buy time.. Beaustang... I just called Saleen again and they swear they don't sell the fanblades. This time, the guy said "well... not everything we take off we sell.." If you sell the bullits, what are you doing with the fanblades then!?!?! Building a hut made entirely out of rims?!?!?!

Anyway, Marty... if you can tell me which Saleen store I can find the fanblades I'd greatly appreciate it!
