I saw the GT500 wheels up close, they look really nice. I'm stuck between those and a set of 18x9 Cobra R's. |

Gotta go minimum 10 inches wide for the rears IMO. With the curve of the bumper and the wide look, coupled with the horizontal tails, our cars BEG for the fat azz steamrollers.

I have rear spacers with my BBS 17x9 wheels that set it right. I would think a 18x10 wheel would scrape my Magnaflow exhaust since the 17x9 wheels rub against it. |

Adam | YES THEY DO...this looks as normal as stock to me...regular rims look like v6 rims now that I am used to it.  |

my 18x9 wheels looked damn good with 275s on them. Those huge tires make the tail pipes look like coffee stirrers LOL |

I have been running around with the welds on for a few weeks now. The rear looks sooo weird. Having a 235 (smaller than the STOCK tires) does not help. I hope to burn off these 235's that are on the welds to get some 275 MT DR or some ET streets. Not complaining...since the welds and tires were a wedding gift from a buddy.
The tires in the pic are 315x35x17 on a 17x11 rear rim. I just traded those tires and $225 plus mount for some new 315x35x17 BFG DR. Picked up some Mich pilot sports in 265x40 for the front wanted to try a smaller front tire as the 275's stuck out just a tad. Those tail pipes are 2.5 too. |

Even though the car rans mid 13s at the track, it looked and sounded outrageous. I ran 9s with 275s up front.

I am actually putting the stock tails back on. 2.25 and 2.5 at the tail is enough for the power I am making more so at the back only as the gas is cooler by then and as gas cools it condenses so it needs less and less Dia pipe to flow for the same power level. |
