use at least 225's up front.

raen419 · 06-16-2005, 09:01 AM

+25 up front, +25 rear. that should look ok.

ugly wheels, bad tire sizes, lame stagered wheels setup

Just found out they dont come in 17, so forget it...ha

just run 18s all around if you go 8.5 gotta match it up with 9.5 in the rear. stay at least 20 offset to get decent coilover clearance.

go 5 lug and get better offsets
