New wheel combo is mounted! *PICTURES*


90TGP

Recommended Posts

Well I just mounted my new wheel and tire combo today on the TGP. It has Nitto 555 Extreme 235/45/17 ZR-Rated tires mounted on 17x7" RS Limited Concept Pro wheels in Gunmetal w/polished lip. The tires handle like a dream, much better then my old R-Rated all weather PepBoy's Futura tires. I also had to fork out $75 for a torque wrench from Sear's, but it's a good investment to have.

 

Going from the stock 16" wheels to the new 17" wheels, the ride quality didn't suffer that much. I do feel a little bit more of the road because of the smaller sidewalls, but it's tolerable and not teeth grinding bad. The Nitto's are very sticky. Made driving down twisty country roads a breeze.

 

The gunmetal and polished lip compliment the red nicely. Looks sweet as hell at night. I took some pictures today with my camera. I should have the pictures developed and scanned tomorrow.

 

Does anyone have any free space to load up pictures?

Thanks for hosting them :)

 

Yes, they are 17". They have an offset of 43mm. I used a 5/16" [9mm] spacer on all four. The front caliper clears by like 2mm AT MOST :shock:. They are gunmetal, I think it's the picture that makes them look darker. 8)

 

The gauges from top-to-bottom are A/F ratio, boost, and water temp. They are Autometer Z-Series with red bulbs from Autozone. And yes, that's a FULL LENGTH 3-gauge pillar pod.

I had the car lowered last year with Suspension Technique springs, but the tires rubbed like crazy on the fender flares. So I then replaced them with new FE3 replacement springs. On top of that, my streets aren't exactly in the best of condition :?
