    I have 17"s with 4.5 backspacing with no problem at all. I think that with what you want 4.5 back spacing will work fine. someone correct me if I'm wrong

    Bleh. Dog dishes and steelies have never done it for me. They're like putting Cindy Crawford in a muu-muu.

    HAHAHAHA....muu muu....thats a funny word.

    Got the wheels on yesterday.  MAN!  Does Summit ship fast!

    I couldn't be happier.  New dog dish repros en route as I type...should be here Tues.  WIll post pics in the E body stickie thread when the dishes are on.

    I went 245s all around.  I, on the other hand, do not like the mismatched look of fat in the rear and smaller up front.  I atribute that to my youth and not liking those jacked up 70s cars the teenagers drove at the time...for some reason I've always liked the road car look - fat, but proportional and the same on all corners....

    She sits just as I wanted...mean stance.

    Sounds good, glad you are happy with it. You mention your youth, how young are you? Gimmie some fat tires in the back, and the front and im happy  :bigsmile: 255 & 295. Not a fan of the 'skyjacker' rear ends too much either

    These would look *****in' on a black car!  In a 17" version.  Or AR TTIO's...which are a bunch cheaper.

    OK....I got pics...but as I said previously I don't have the dishes yet...en route.  Expected this Tues.....come on Fed EX!









    As for my age.  I worded that previous post poorly. What I meant was that I grew up around those 70s jacked up frankenstein cars...never liked the look.  Even back then as a 8, 10, 13 yr old I always preferred the road car look = decent fat tires at all four corners...the same size.

    But thats just me.

    Oh...I'm 40.  Hardly a kid now....but I make up for it by being immature!  Ask my wife and kids.. :bananasmi

    Awesome! I LOVE dog dish hub caps. Real mean racing look. No frills, no show - ALL GO. :ylsuper: :drunk:

    Keep that bum raised a little too.....no one likes a girl with a saggy lower the front arse. ;)

    Below is how my girl will look in 14-16 months time, it's a 70 but you get the idea.
    I will only go cop rims. On a black Cuda/Challenger they make the car IMO. :bananasmi
