Hey how do those sumo 255 look on the front?

 

So far so good!!

 

Those CCW classics look great! how wide are your rear wheels the 295 are mounted on?

 

11" in the rear

 

What wheel size at the front? 8,5 or 9? Any rubbing with the 255/35?

 

9.5, no rubbing yet, but haven't driven really hard. think i'll rub slightly on turning until i do the radiator bracket mod.

 

It looks like a good chunk of your summo tire is poking out from the front fender. From that rear shot looking forward. One pic from directly overhead of the front looks like the rim lip is poking out from the fender.
Your not worried about sand blasting your paint from the front fender back?

 

nope....was running between a 10-15MM spacer on the stock wheels. I drive the car a lot, it's gonna get some scratches and such. I'm not holding onto it for resale value.

I think once I do the radiator bracket trimming, that I'll run a 10MM spacer on these too.

 

What is the radiator bracket mod?
Can anyone pls enlighten me

Thx...i should have know...pwdrhound

 

Any driving experiences already? I am willing to use this 255/35 + 295/40 combo too with 8,5 rims.

 

i'm very happy with it, turn in has improved pretty significantly it feels, but I'll be honest to say I haven't gotten "crazy" with it yet.

 

Whats the offset of your frontwheels?
50, 55?

 

To sum up the info i got about the right offset for a 9" i can say, that an offset of ET 47 would be to agressive. Maybe when you role the fenders it will work.
Probably i should do it anyways.
I guess an offset of at least ET50 or higher will be better. No clue how much space is left to the inside.
If anyone got the perfect ET, let me now. Thx
