Wheels look good, but just like i told dan (sflg35) why the hell do you guys put a tire that does not "fit" on the rim? I don’t get the look of having the rims lip hang out a 1/4 inch past the tire There is not point in ordered an 11" wide rim if you are only going to put a 275 tire on it - do it right and wrap it with a 295 so your rim is less prone to being damaged. It doesn’t help in performance at all - you would be better off getting the same wheel in a 9" width and wrapping it in a 275 tire - at least then you will save unsprung weight and at least have a tire that fits.
But i guess to each their own Sorry for the vent!

correct me if i'm wrong, but i think his car is primarily a show car. i'm sure performance is a factor, but as a show car there are certain things you must sacrifice

ok here is what im venting about - why put an 11" wide rim if you are putting a tire that fits on a 9.5" width rim? I mean it had no advanatages at all...the rim/tire combo is going to sit flush with the fender either way.
20x11 with 275 tire - sits flush with the fender
20x10 with 285 tire -sits flush with the fender
20x10.5 with a 295 tire is going to sit flush with the tire
Get where im going? in the long run the rims and tires are all going to equal out...
Sorry for the thread jack

....of course, I'm all about having 19s-20s with some meaty looking tires. Check out aheros car, hes got bigger tires and I think they look waaaaaay more aggressive than a stretched tire does.
That being said, I think the thread starter's car looks so much better than it did in the past. Your car has come a long way dude and its looking hotter all the time!
