    Haven't posted in here in a little bit so I thought I would update my car a little . Bought a set of 17x8 +35 Drag wheels and used the 245/45/17 BFG Super Sport tires i had on my GTX wheels, they were brand new already. Cleaned the car up for 28th Street Metro Cruise last weekend and took a few pics. The line of stickers on the back window are starting to grow off on me and may be peeled soon. Already know there will be some haters on that.

    I like them though I would've gone with them in 18s. I had a sticker thing going also and now I'm down to three. I need some more offset too...

    Reason i went with 17's was so i wouldn't have to buy new tires because the BFG's are Brand new already. I'm thinking of just switching up my stickers a little bit, get rid of all the colors and just go one color.

    The rims look good, but your gtx rims were my favorite.

    Having a smaller then stock diameter tire is really making it look good with it being lowered and all.

    That's a perfectly good reason to stay with the 17s. Single color stickers look better then multi-colors personally, all mine are white.

    IMO...I would have kept the GTX wheels and went lower.

    Exhaust tips are just fine, they sit flush with the bumper.





    And another reason i went with 17's was because they only weigh 19lbs a piece, a lot lighter than my GTX wheels were.

    They are getting adjusted here in a little bit once i shorten up my exhaust, i bought the SLP catback and it was about 2 inches to long so its pushed back just a little bit. Once I cut out a small section and get it welded back together it should be fine.

    True, they are flush with the Bumper, however they looks WAY better when flushish with the lower fascia instead!
