Got the wheels from a friend of mine for a steal ($300), got the tires for $420, hub centric rings ($18.) and lug nuts ($25). Then got raped on have them mounted and balanced ($80) But I want it done properly so it wouldn't Harlem Shake on the highway so it is what it is. Not too bad for a total of $843!

Here's the run down:

Sportmax 006's 18x7.5 ET +38

Yokohama AS430's (225/40/18 )

Hotchkis Springs

OTG 10mm rear shims

HEAVY @$$ Speaker box (probably 100 lbs)


Rubbing:

Rubs on the front a little on lock turns and really hard bumps. (fixing that with a hammer later on tomorrow )

Rubs on the rear passenger side on hard bumps and if there is a passenger in the back it rubs on every bump. lol There was only a small spot that we found that rubbed and fixed that....we think. Probably going to roll the fenders a little in the rear just to be safe. But I'm good for now because no one is going to be riding in the rear.


I was told WAY ahead of time they would rub but I like the tire size and I knew I could stop it so I didn't care. lol Enjoy!

 

Nice rims. That is a bit high for mounting n balancing but u still made a killing overall.

 

Nice man....I remember the other ones you had on there... these ones just set it off...mines cool too see..

BEFORE




AFTER

 

that's some big tires!

 

Yeah it is because it's usually only like $10 per wheel and I've been using the same place for year. I think there is a new manager or something. I wasn't even having them put on the car but when he said $80 I told him to get a torque wrench and put my d@mn wheels on. lol

Yeah they are but I like the ride and 215/35's weren't gonna do it for me and 215/40's are too much $$$$ for me. lol

I'm sure Spider13 is going to call them "Mud Tires" soon.

 

Like the look, nice choice.

 

Beautiful ride, man. Now have fun keeping it clean like in the pictures.

 

those 006's look hot bro. props.

 

Looks great!

 

Wow, that looks down right amazing!!

also, anyone know how much off that will put the speedo running a 225/40/18 over a 215/35/18?

 

they look friggin gigantor! horrid I say.

least you get a slightly better ride.

 

those look awesome man, they're so clean that they almost look photochopped on there.

 

Yeah but you hate on everything so....ehh.
