Definitely looks good,especially on red. Im in love with black wheels/polished lip.

[johnsgto]

Nice contrast against red.

[JS1965]

Is it my imagination or is the rear tires shorter then the fronts?

[KdubFL]

Those look pretty good with red, they'd be horrid on my yellow. I'd really like to see them on a quicksilver though.

[LSX Performance]

Very nice

[1stGOAT]

Looking Good!! Of course you knew I would say that. I really like that look.

[EG GTO]

Looks good!

[Juniorss]

Did you have to roll the fenders in the rear?

Your right, there is close to a half an inch difference.

[x-zz4]

Did you have to roll the fenders in the rear?

I didn't think I would have too......I thought you could get away with 265's.....and it doesn't rub for normal driving or over bumps. But......

I just got back from a drive and nailed it a couple of times.....it did rub when it "squat" down in the rear to launch......:rant:

I guess rolling the fenders will be the next mod.....:rolleyes:

[mdmike]

looks good.

[GTOIcon]

Those rims look good, does anyone know where to get all black rims?

[Mexirican007]

Nice

[Cool_Hand_Luke]

Looks good on red.:thumbs:

Where is it rubbing? I'm looking at 265x35X18 for the rear. What dose "rolling the fenders" entail?

Thanks-Chad

[PixMan]

If the 265's rub and the fenders need to be rolled, I'd go with 275's.

I've been looking at those same Privat Profils for my Phantom Black '04, and now that it's paid for, I'm going ahead.

[TrixR4Kids]

I like it.. Looks really :D :D

:The_Villa :The_Villa :The_Villa

Yeah.....now I looked at it again.....it's rubbing bad. Eating up my brand new tires. :rant:

I just called America's Tires back and they're ordering some 245/40/18's for me. I'll put those on until I can get the fenders rolled.....then I'll put the 265's back on and I guess I'll just have an extra set for the front.....:rolleyes:

Note to everyone......265's are too big without rolling the fenders......:rolleyes:

You can have them trimmed. Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim did it for about 60

[Juniorss]

It all depends on the offset and tire brand.

[NeveGTO]

how much do those wheels run a piece??

I would totally rock them, but in a gunmetal center.

Only $640 for the set......give your local America's Tire or Discount Tire a call.

[NeveGTO]

and incase I ever have the money I found what I will buy FOR SURE.

[Doc GTO]

I like that!

[TrakDay]

Nice!

[GTOGOAT]

Looks good! Nice choice...sorry about the rubbing...

[Mr. Wonderful]

Looks good... I'm sure you'll get it sorted out soon.

[Rome]

let's see a pic of you smokin them and the smoke comin out of the wheels wells. That's the only way to "truly" tell if a wheel looks good on a car. ;)
