I plan on going with these rims for my car with the brm springs. I am thinking of going with either 275/40 or 285/40 BFG KDWS. Are these type of tires a good choice and hook pretty good off the line? Also I was wondering if anyone has pics of there cars with these sizes rims and tires.... What spacers/backspacing should I use? I know this may sound reap stupid but Id kid of like the tires stick stick out a very very small amount to give it a muscle car look. Any info you guys can give me would be alot of help because I am completely in the dark!
I like the stance of this car alot!

Hey man, I just happened to notice that you're from WV...I'm deployed in Germany right now, but I live in Barboursville. If you live in that area you'll have to hook up with us at the track sometime.

 

Hey man I changed my Location for a reason Im not even goin to go into but thanks for the invite. Come on everyone any help is appreciated.

 

I think the look you want is actually with 17X11's in the back. I believe those are 11 inch Fiskes on that car in the link. That and and Eibach pro kit will give you the stance your looking for, check out my website and you can see how it would look a little lower (hyperco springs), haven't had a chance to check to see if 11 inches fit fine I'm probably going to go with a 10 inch rim.

I had those tires (BFG) 275 up front and 285 in the rear, a nice all around tire and not too much $$. But if I were you I'd buy the Nitto DR 315 for the rear and either Nitto 550 or Kuhmos if your trying to do it cheap. Nitto DR is the best street tire out there for traction off the line. But you loose in other things so it depends on what you want to do......

If it is a daily driver you just have fun with everyonce in a while and your a good driver with limited traction then the BFg's are a decent choice.

I had em and prefer the nitto DR on the back and the kumhos up front.

 

Here are pics of 17x9.5 in the front and 17x11 in the back.

The 17x9.5 on my car have a 46mm offset and I'm not using any spacers.

The yellow z is a little more than I was looking for but that thing looks So mean with that stance! I have not traction what so ever at the moments with the 3.23's. If I hit it from a dead stop they spin for over 30 ft. I have some kind of general tires or something on there now and theyll spin out going 65 in the rain.(Not joking) I know thats not amazing but I know they shouldnt be doing that. With the relocation brackets and some Bfg KDWs should I be able to pull a decent 60? What should I expect?

 

I bet about a 1.95 if you drive it good

 

Well that would be great cause right now I dont tihnk I can get a 2.4 out of the tires ive got!

 

I pulled a 2.14 and a 2.19 I think on those tires my first time out with just bolt ons ran a 14.01 at 101 that was with my Auto so its a little easier to lanch. By contrast of course I had more power and a converter but I pulled a 1.74 on Nittos DR

BTW I"M A HORRIBLE DRIVER So you may have better luck!

 

Do you have any pics of you hperco drop? Ive never really heard of them and was wondering how much they dropped. I dont want more than 1 1/4 max.
