New Shoe's for the LE
So I'm all finished with my suspension upgrade. Now it's time for some new tires to take advantage of it all. Instead of just throwing some tires on my original LE wheels I thought it'd be a good time to look at some wheels also. I really want to go up to an 18" wheel. You have more tire options and more room to add a larger brake kit. The LE wheel has virtualy no lip and thought it'd be cool to have a wheel with a larger lip. Next is I don't want to stray to far from the original look of the LE wheel,call me sentimental, and the overall look of the car. So this is what I came up with.
TSW Cadwells 18x9.5 and mount a Nitto NT05 285/35/18 or Kumho XS 275/35/18 http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=337793 ^^^^^^Old 4x4 height^^^^^ ^^^^New Height on Strano Springs 3 days after the install^^^^ Tires Nitto NT05 285/35/18 = 11.3" tire width 275/35/18= 10.8" width Kumho XS 275/35/18=10.9" width All feed back welcome.

Cool..glad you think so as well, I've searched the world over looking for some that looked similar, most I found had some funky ass design, no lip or looked kinda ricey.

Don't Like it? Suggit.

Look good! I like the wheels, they look aggressive, while still reminiscent of the LE wheels. And I can tell you firsthand 285/35s will look NICE, and hold on strong
