I like mine !   :yesnod:  I love the TIIs and the red....sweet.  Here is mine with 18s 5 inch offset & rear and 17s 4 inch offset front.  My rear tires size is a 275 with plenty more room.  :icon_smile_cool: No making fun of my jacked up hood with dent either ! ! Still a sensitive issue.... :icon_smile_blackeye:  :rotz:

This ticket is only $69.00 ?  If I'd have known that I'd have been going FASTER !

Thanks for all the replies, I am gonna run the 40 series tires for a while since they are free and I don't have $500-$600 extra to put into new ones right now.

Definatly not a fan of the small sidewall on those wheels.  Looks too rubberbandish for my tastes.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

My philosophy is you either need to stick with 15s and have huge sidewalls or go real big (19s or bigger) to fill the wheel wells properly.   Anything in between and you have a hard time finding anything with enough tire height.  Just my two cents again (that makes four cents (or no sense)).

and keep the car low, so you only see part of the tire. Rene

BEFORE: 14 X 6 Magnum 500's with 205/70R14's

I liked the Magnum 500's...until 3 months later when they began to RUST!  I will NEVER buy another Wheel Vintiques wheel again.  I've never seen a new wheel rust after 3 months!  :icon_smile_angry:

AFTER: 16 X 7 Torq Thrust II's with 205/55R16's

don't like them, sorry, but to each his own, all that matters is if you like them.

so if i had a set of 17x7 up front and rear 17x8 with 4" backspacing all around would look fine on a stock setup.i'm a little worried with the backspacing  ??

There is a bunch of tire/rim info in this sticky thread in the Wheels/Tires board.

You'll want more backspacing on the rear wheels (4.5" on an 8" wheel). I have a set of wheels with 3 3/4" BS and it pushes the tires close to the outer wheel lip on the quarter. Since I have 255s on there it isn't a problem but anything wider will probably rub.

It's even worse on the Cuda! ;) That's how I found out I bought the wrong size. Any way, they'll fit - just don't try to put huge tires on them.
