Was trying to hold out for a better location for better photos, but it isn't looking like thats going to happen soon, so here they are.
Two different wheels, because I bargain hunted. Same style - just gloss vs. matte. I'll fix that later.
Wheels
Rear: Pro Comp 7973 in Flat (more like matte) - 17x9 with 4.5" backspacing
Front: Vision 85 Soft 8 - 17x8 with 4" of backspacing
Tires
Rear: 275/60/17
Front: 235/60/17
I wish I'd had gone with 235/65/17 for the front, or 255/60/17. I played it safe since the front is getting lowered further. I used cheap tires to make sure they'd fit for now - so I'll run these until I burn them bald and then get something nicer then. I have less than $600 all around in wheels and tires, all new. I do need new lug nuts still.
Next up is I think finally hooking up the trans cooler. Haven't really driven it much at all without that hooked up, though my test rip up to 65 and a lengthy burnout and the trans temps held steady around 160. Im pretty sure once the cooler is in, they'll stay down around 100-120. Need to wire up my fans too, and the brake switch so that the torque converter unlocks properly. It pushes pretty hard coming to a stop until the converter unlocks.
Then installing the front lowering springs. The new wheel and tire package has really highlighted how nose high it is, and is giving me motivation to get the stance right.
