Cool Baby's got some new shoes!

Since I repainted my truck, I've been longing to upgrade to a larger diameter wheel/tire combo. I finally got me some 17" Torque Thrust II's. I really didn't want belly button wheels, but the prices were much more reasonable for TT's than say, Intro or Billet Specialties.

Anyway, here's what I got.
Front-17x8 (4"bs) 255/50/17 Hankook Ventus ST RH06
Rear-17x9.5(5.5"bs) 275/55/17 Hankook Ventus ST RH06
I'm still lowered 3.5/5.







These pics were just after putting them on. I'll be sure to get some better, more photogenic shots later this week.

Re: Baby's got some new shoes!

Where did you get the tires?

I am running the exact same tire sizes on Cragar SS 17"'s and its time for a new set of tires.

Re: Baby's got some new shoes!

dznucks, I got them locally. We have a hotrod shop in Knoxville. They had the 2 rear tires in stock and ordered the front tires in for me. I went and had them m&b Saturday.

Discount tire can get them for you if need be.

Re: Baby's got some new shoes!

The reason they sell so many TTII's is because they look so good, and yours is no exception. Love it!
