Here you go:




I like them personally..looks like some fat boy tires on there...powder coat them graphite and really make your car night rider.

Edit: I agree w/ shock...get rid of the white lettering on the tire wall!

they look good to me... I personally dont think the white letters look bad. It gives it more of a "race car" look.

They look like they stick a couple of inches out of the fender well. That could be the angle though.

I've seen those one other 4th gens and with the proper back spacing, black walls out, and some fat tires on the back side they look nice.

If they stick out. then I agree, they shouldnt be on there... but from what I could tell. They are flush. by the way. Those look like prostars. If they are and they are 15x10 they should have a 7.5in backspacing for our cars.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! They are the prostars, off my Monte Carlo. I was just getting a size reference, but thought I liked them on there. I'm not quiet sure about the white letters myself! But anyway, thanks!

what size/backspacing are you running? are you rolling around on the skinnies too?

Not sure of the exact backspacing, but I'm sure I can sind out. They aren't "skinnies" so to speak, but they are quiet a bit smaller!
