fronts are 17x9.5 , rears are 17x11 with 275/50ZR/17 tires, but they're wayy too small for those rims, so i'm thinkin of going with 295s, but not sure what brand yet.

Mew?

Are you a cat?

Do you jump from tree to tree all nimbly bimbly?

Meow!

Nice wheels ;)

[qwikz28]

11 inch rears calls for 315 width. they look real nice though.

[79dizZy28]

:stupid: the rims look good tho

[qwikz28]

take those rears off and use them for the fronts or sell them. i dont think they are safe to drive like that

[Pat]

great choice. now you just need the !4x4 mod and you're all set

[jims69camaro]

:stupid:

drop the stance. wear the tires out, then get 315s.

Sweet lift kit! Where did you get it!?










Drop that sum-bitch and ditch the 275's thats wicked gay. Putting 275's on a 11" wide wheel looks like an over-stretched rubber-band.

I like the rims, now just drop it and get some fat rubber for the rear.

Alex, your avatar sucks! :razz:

oh, traded my buddy for'em :)

BFG KDW's are one of the better tires out there. They are a 3 season tire, but do the job well. Depends on what you are looking to spend.
I also suggest to buy 315's for the rear.

[IROCZBeast]

i thought you were going with pro stars? or some drag type style wheels?

Never know with eric we could see him pulling up in a civic next week lol.

haha, yaeh i'm still going with either prostars or weld draglites off a buddy for track tires, but these tires will be all around/track, i havent decided yet, i mean, maybe i can utilize the 11" rim...

i had trouble fitting my 315's in the back, even with the APHR. you really might be better off trading the rears for another set of 9.5's and just run those all the way around, especially if you actually plan on lowering. unless for some reason it actually fits with more than .5" of clearance like mine had...

Thats strange, I dont have any fit-met issues, and my car is lowered.

[Savage_Messiah]

Ah but alex you claim to hear tire rubbing sounds ;)

[BigAls87Z28]

LCAR's should fix that.

[Teds89IROC]

Ah but alex you claim to hear tire rubbing sounds ;)


true, but I don't think he had any issues with the 315's on the car, just the stockers :shrug:

[Savage_Messiah]

ah good point

[Firebird67dude]

As of today Hillsdale police department told me that the 315s on the back of the T/A are illegal n if they see me driving with em they r gunna impound my car. (not like they havent b4) All i did was a couple donuts in a fully empty parking lot with absolutely no1 around. Anyway u def. need to put 315s on the biotches.

[Tru2Chevy]

Umm, did they give you a reason that the 315's are illegal? Never heard of that one before.

Although I could see them impounding your car for doing donuts....

[Savage_Messiah]

Sounds like BS, the tires are D.O.T. approved right?

[ar0ck]

Of course their DOT, they wouldn't sell them if they weren't! I have SumoTumo HTR+ Summer Performance Tires 315/35/17. Maybe if they magically made an 18" Grand Sport ZR1 replica I would sell you my rear tires.

Kasey I do have tire rub when I have passengers in the back on the 315's but I didnt have fitment issues. The tire rub is practically non existant if it is just me in the car, and thats usually the way it is.
The tire rub noises Im hearing is something new with the stock wheels, I have no idea whats up yet. I'll work on the car on sunday most likely.

[BigAls87Z28]

315 might be "illegal" if they stick out of the fender.
But the tires themselves are not illegal. If they want to impound your car, I say sue the **** out of them for taking away our one and only vehicle.
