Well I'm assuming he wanted minor stretch of the tire. 235 tire is natural for 8 inch width. My 17x8 had 235/45 stock from factory.

He didn't take any width away. The narrow bodies come with 225/45R17 from the factory. Not 235/45r17 like your widebody.

Oh I see. My bad. I totally forgot that the 11's came an inch wider than the others. I stand corrected lol.

With all that other flat black work you just need to kill the damn chrome window trim!

More power to you if you do it yourself, but there is a company that sells pre-cut strips of vinyl for it. That's what I have on mine.

Do you know where to find it or the name of that company? I would love to buy some. I've been wanting to do that since I bought the car. Much appreciated.

I had a local sign shop do my window chrome pieces, looks like they were black from factory

Im about to order a set for my silver bugeye. Im pretty set on the red but cant decide on18's or 17's. Im lowered on eibachs/kyb right now but thinking about switching to coilovers to even out the front.
Opinions on 17's compared to 18's?

18's would look a bit better IMO. That's what I have.

Not this question again.. Do whatever you want, 17s are usually lighter, but 18s are bigger. It's your call. Do what we you want it. It's a preference and doesn't really make a difference other than looks and weight.

Rifleman WI · 07-30-2012, 04:44 PM

what is the bore size of these wheels? do you have to run hub rings?
