Default New wheel pics

I had the wheels installed yesterday. They are Niche wheels with Nitto NT555 tires. I think the Nitto tire has a larger side wall than others because I have a little rubbing when I turn. I want to install my springs but don't know if it will get worse. I will post later. Car it dirty.

While I'm not too fond of chrome, I must say, it looks good on your ride

One more thing you need to do...

DROP IT!!

White on chrome always look good together. The wheels look pretty good. Niche used to be the bomb in the old days. Are you gonna drop it?

I already have the springs. It's hard for me to find someone to install them for me. I went with Niche because I was on a budget. Wheels and tires only cost me $1450.00 out the door.

Yea..I know I had the springs for about 2mths and was sick of looking at them (not installed). All I have to do is fix the headlight sensor Spring make the car look 100 times better.

If You Drop The Car With The 245/35's That You Are Running I Think You May Be Craeting Somr Rubbing Probs. I Would Switch To 255/30 And Drop It On Some Tein H Techs. The 245/35 Is Way To Tall. Much Larger Than Stock Diameter

Now That I Look At The Pics I Dont Even Think You Need To Drop It. My 2 Cents. The Car Looks Beautiful. By The Way In My Opinion Chrome Almost Always Looks Better Than Silver. Thats Why They Charge So Much More For Chrome. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
