nice!!!

The back tires look so sunken into the wheel well. Would a spacer fix that and bring it to the fender well. It looks great otherwise.

Fastest32 · 05-15-2010, 12:19 AM

255/45r20's in the front and 295/45r20's in the back.

Strut- I'm on my phone and can't tell; are you using a spacer on the rear? If so, how thick?

Thanks,
Austin

Hey, I just got an email saying my wheels have been shipped.
Does that mean that the -3-aa 18's are done?

smith2481 · 05-17-2010, 06:06 PM

No you will get the -2 if you ordered the 18s

Well I was on the 1st group buy. But, that was before we were told they had not made the 18s yet.

I was wanting my order put on hold until the -3 came out.

Fat and Nasty. . . .Just the way I like my tires,

Can't wait to see them mounted up!!!

That is what I will be getting. Most big tires in that performance range have a tread life in the 200 range. The Continental's have a life in the 500s.
I had some performance tires on my other car that had great traction but only last 4k miles. I will see how long the Continentals last on my other car.

wow someone likes to do smoke shows or drives like a race car driver, I sure hope the ones I get last wayyyyy longer than that!

Well more like a race car driver. I didn't do "burn outs" nor was I doing any drifting. The problem is, that they are so soft, they don't "squeal". So, you don't know how much you are spinning. Apparently, every time I was shifting, boost was kicking in, and the wheels would spin. I would speed shift and when I would park, I would have black flakes (kinda like eraser flakes) all over my fenders and wheel wells.

Hopefully, the Continentals will "squeal" a little more, and I can adjust my heavy foot a little better. LOL

tek970chevy · 05-19-2010, 09:19 PM

i got 2 18x8 for the front and 20x10 for the rear... im not sure what size tires to get... what do you think would look great for the longbed???

67goatman455 · 05-19-2010, 09:59 PM
