Default slid into a ditch...haha

it was 55 in the morning and within hours it was a blizzard below freezing.....roads were slick, i was going about 10-15mph on an onramp to merge to another highway when my back end slid out....

no real damage, lip just seems kinda pushed in but all in all im glad i didnt hit the guard rail 2 feet infront of me or another car.


here the pics.....









after we pulled it out...

only wheels that will fit...without spacers.


got BBK upfront and stocks wont fit....18s wont fit.....


so my choices would be...

-put stocks on rears with snow tires and ride with 2 different wheels.

-put snow tires on 19s.....

-buy spacers and run stock wheels with snow tires.



and it doesnt snow enough to justify snow tires.

plus im broke.
