Default Re: new rims and tires

the fronts are +32, the rears +35 offsets. I think the issue looking at them is the rears have a deeper dish than perhaps I'd have liked, but that's the way they are, because they are 9.5's and the fronts are 8.0's so the spokes are more inset. I might go to a 10mm spacer on the rears, but then I might have to get even longer bolts. I'm not a big fan of huge tires sticking out too far, like they did in the 60's. I'm a bit too old for that.

I just wanted a rather simple and clean lines to the wheels, not overly noticeable, but one that just fit in with the silver colors going on, the strakes, the clamshells on the door and the surround, so that it all went together.

I'm glad though I didn't go the 285's on the rear. That would have been I think a bit too much.
