Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

i will NEVER get lambos. i think they are gayyyyyy.

i tired to rotate them on photobucket like i normally do, but they changed the site and couldnt figure it out lol.

probally just order the same ones i have. most of the lugs i have are just normal ones.

and i was thinkin 245/35's in front, and 275/35's in rear. sound good? or will the 275 look stretched compared to the 245s? i want to order them tomorrow. was thinkin about general exclaim uhp's. they seem to get good reviews. any opinions?

Looks like everyone is bagging their trucks now....lol I am always behind on wat everyone is doing to their rides, lol....

I will tell you wat, i think your truck is one of the cleanest and best looking ones i have seen on here. Your truck makes me want a xtreme and to bag it.

Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

yes the tires were def. a good chunk of money. most i ever spent on tires... 300 for the pair of 255's and 630 for the pair of 285s so 930ish. ive always loved those tires and i hate seeing people that get clean ass 20's then opt for a cheap ass ebay brand tire that are ugly. bfg kdw nt's got the sexiest tread IMO

thanks man. means alot! i like to think its pretty clean too, if i do say so myself.

ive wanted those tires too, but i dont have that kind of money right now.

ive been reading lots of reviews on tirerack and other sites, and it seems the ones im looking at are pretty good. rated #1 on tirerack, and my friend has them on his equinox too, and they ride pretty good. i like the price too. only downfall is tirerack has the 245s on backorder, which sucks because thats where we get them through the shop.

Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

ill be at grounded next weekend, carlisle, southeast showdown, lowrollers, possibly itb, maybe blood drag, not sure. def the first 4 though.

and i was looking at general exclaim uhp's. but now you got me thinking about different sizes. possibly toyo proxy 4's. 245/35 and maybe a 295/30 since they dont make them in 275's. theyre about the same price, and the sidewall sizes match pretty close and all. $115 and $190 a piece.

Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

damn that thing looks killer
295s are 11.6" wide
riding low and hanging a turn, say a highway on ramp
they will rub either the notches/bedside or both
the bedside rounds up at the top
which doesnt help any either
being that eric drives the truck everyday
and this is all he has
he need to keep it somewhat practical
and its a 4 cyl for god sake
it has trouble getting out of its own way now..... lol

so eric when is our 4 cyl show down going to happen??!!

Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

dude, you would own me. it feels faster than it did before for some reason. maybe its the sweet intake yo. lol. it def sounds louder. wait til i get the change to get pulleys and a header, then we might be pretty close. these wheels are wayyyyy lighter too.

on the tires, ill just go with the original plan of the 275s like john recommended. hopefully it doesnt look stretched compared to the 245s. also remember that the fender flare has to screw into the bedside, so i cant trim too much. i think the bedside may have to be pulled out a little bit. the 295s would look killer though.

and it sucks driving in the rain with no defroster. and i have a blinker problem. pass rear tail lamp works, but the blinker and brake light wont work. god i hope i didnt screw up wiring the fuse box. that would suck.

thanks man.

Re: [Project] Parts Waiter

wouldnt that cause the whole tail light not work? i was thinking about the ground too, but it doesnt seem like it makes sense. ill check it though for sure.

dont hate. just cause they like to fall off and get lost doesnt mean it hates them.
