a 245 width tire on a 9inch wide rim looks like shit....but a 225 width on a 9 inch rim??? WTF? thats not even safe!

I think you have 17x8 rims.

the fronts look ok...tire looks a tad too skinny 4 the rim though. if they were 9inch rims they would look crappy....the rears look good...like how a 245 width tire would look on an 8inch rim.

89-stang 05-09-2007 08:48 PM

well maybe ur rite but inside the rim it says 17x9, but wut ever so how does the car look u like it lol? for my first car

Thats a damn nice first car.

It looks like a nice 2nd or 3rd etc. car too. I love the color scheme. and I love notches so thumbs up!
