Re: New wheels and tires
I guess I'm stuck in the 80's. I like the pro street look. Are you running a big block?

Re: New wheels and tires
Went to Discount to get the rear tires mounted and the front tires turned around and took $60 thinking it would be enough. Cost $42 to get the rear done and another $42 to get the front done. They charge way too much for mounting and balancing. They wouldn't do $60 for all out the door.

Re: New wheels and tires
where did you get the wheels? Everywhere I look for wheels, they don't have 5x5 bolt pattern, so did you have to have them custom made?
I'm planning on running pro stars for my drag tires. |

Re: New wheels and tires
Awesome! How much drop in the rear springs? Did you have to modify tubs at all?

Re: New wheels and tires
Looks fast! Is it? If I got beside you at a light I would think you got something in store for me!
