hello everyone.
this is my first thread here. i just got my stang a month ago. its my first REAL car lol, and im 22 yrs old. pretty crazy eh. i did 4 years in the army and didnt need a car. i was always in the damn woods lol.
anyways, i already got a nice set of Bassani SS cat backs for it, and now im looking for a tire/rim combo that will look killer. i can pick what style i want , and i have a good idea of what tires i want, but rims are what is gettin me thinking.
so heres the tires i want to get. the BF Goodrich Gforce T/A KDWS tires. they are a good mix of performance/tough tread/all season tires that i need for ohio driving all season. now as far as size, i was planning on getting them in 245/45/17. for that sized tire, should i get a 17x8" rim? im thinking that would make a nice wide appearance on the rear of my car, as they state on the BFG site that they are 9.5" wide on an 8" rim <i think?>
as for front rims, should i go with the same size on all 4 corners? would it have any effect or handling and such if i did go same size on all 4?
would the handling be better with a narrower diameter tire on the front?
any suggestions and experience would be greatly appretiated guys!
also, does anyone know a good place to get a nice set of rims for around 100$ each? id like to get a nice silver or chrome set, in a mag style appearance.
the stock rims are just fugly to me.
thanks in advance!
Nate
