Very well put Nine Ball, there is an art to getting the right stance and attitude of a vehicle. Wheels and tires are the "jewelry", if you will, and should be that defining "Ahh" without being overwelming. Some get it, some dont.

Also alot of guys just buy wheels not checking offsets and fitment. They also buy wheels because they got a good deal, good deals usually lead to a bad fitting wheel. Nineball it is good to see that you are trying the educate people on the right way to do wheels and tires. I have always ordered my wheels from very knowledgeable people.

Those wheels look awesome, what kind and what size are they?

RedJewel2SS · 04-20-2010, 01:57 PM

it might just be the ground fx, but it looks a little too low for me. but the wheel/tire spacing and offset looks good.

Gotthat02fire · 04-20-2010, 01:59 PM

It is pretty low and tony can hook you up with all the wheel info!!!

My 2 cents, this is probably the biggest take away from the thread for me. Research, research and more research. When done researching, ask the pros. It will either confirm your research, making the purchase that much cooler, or it will identify some flaws in your research prior to purchase. Win/Win, ask the pros. I've asked the pros on this forum before each and every purchase and feel confident about each and every one as a result. Makes the final product that much sweeter.

Well said Tony, we have always been about wheels and stance. We recently posted a thread of our taste in mods over the last 6 years and the looks change but the stance always remains:

This thread is for the "old school" modders. Every since the 60's and 70's, its been about that mean "rake" and proper rollers.

Preach on Nine Ball

Couldn't have said it better myself...other than tinting the windows, lowering and upsized wheels should be #1 priority. Everything else will fall in line

Ok Nine Ball, you seem to know your wheels. What is good option for wheels and tires that are the same size all the way around? I'd to go with 19" wheels, upgrade the suspension and lower it a inch. To work for me the wheels & tires need a balance of looks, performance and practicality to at least some extent.

I think the 20" wheels are over sized. Plus you can't rotate the tires and the track width should be slightly wider in the front, not the rear.
