Default **new wheels and drop**pics

New wheels and tires, As well as suspension....Keep in mind I bought the car last November or should I say I stole it considering the price. Anyway im notorious for not keeping a car stock longer than a month, And I actually said to myself and others I was gonna keep the Lex stock lol Yeah right....Well that didnt last.

1st Mod - Air Intake System

2nd Mod - Sprint 2" Lowering Springs

3rd Mod - 20x8.5 (front) 20x10 (rear) Maas San Remo 2PC. wheels these were just released! And Nitto 555 tires....The wheels have a 40+ offset nothing aggressive, But perfect for me.
Im currently running 245/35/20 front, and a meaty *** 275/35/20 rear!!

Im gonna switch it up to a 265/35/20 rear and see how that goes, Because so far the fenders have eaten up the tires.

Well here are some pictures of the car, She is a little dirty and could use a fresh paint job thats actually next on the list. The paint and body was abused from the previous owner, But the price I paid for the car is well worth it!!

Enough talk......Here ya go!!!!!!!!

simple and clean well done man.

IMO, if you're getting chewed up on the rear tires, see how a 275/30 fits before you try the 265.


Either way, you're prob gonna have to go with a 30 wall, so you might as well try and keep the 275 width on the 10" rim before you stretch a 265. Stretching a 265/35 on a 10" rim will be almost the same as having a 275/30 on there.

Thanks alot! I appreciate it.

Thanks for the info, The 275/30 seems to be the most common tire size. Im definitely gonna have to get a smaller tire regaurdless, So I'll just run these tires out and go from there!!
