    '71 Challenger - New shoes Finally!
    « on: September 22, 2011 - 01:19:26 PM »
    I've been really lazy with the camera, but I've been driving the car alot on the weekends back and forth doing the clutch job on my 68 Truck. I figured i would post a couple recent photos of the car.

    Wheels and tires have been on for about 2 months. 15x7 with 225-65R15 up front & 15x8 with 255-60R15 in rear

    Looks great!  :rebel:

    I was going to go with steelies and dog dish on my car, and did for a short time as I love that look.  Mine where only 14 inch rims with small tires so the look wasn't there for me.  I got a great deal on a set of Ralley rims and tires, so they are on there now.  However, I plan to get a set of 15 inch steelies and some beefer tires, so i can trade back and fourth for a different look.

    is it my monitor, or do your front tires have blue lettering on them?  I know that when tires are new they have the blue soap tint over the lettering.  Anyway, I like the stock rim look you have!

     :grinyes: I can't get that crap off of that one tire. I don't know what to use in order to keep the white letter safe while removing the blue......  :clueless: any ideas?  :thinkerg:
