Some smoked headlights would look awesome on there, those covers, not so much......lol
Yeah eventually I'll do somethin with the lights. My passenger side sidemarkera cracked so I might get clear sidemarkers
Very nice! Congrats! Looks a million times better. Maybe add a space on the back?
Thanks dude I appreciate it! Believe it or not these new wheels actually bring them closer to the fender, once i put 275s on they should be flush. I'm iffy about spacers
the5.ohh WHAT ABOUT THE FENDER STRIPES...did you order those too?
Nah I didn't order em. Still not sure about them lol.

You're going to need spacers to make it flush. Here's how mine is sitting with a 17x9 and a 285. They really make a huge difference and are completely safe!

Damn I need to lower it lol. Hmm I never thought about painting the GT badges red. Good idea dude I'm gonna look into that
Your car needs a drop more badly than it needs 275s lol
Lmao I know i know. But if I get a chance to get the 275s first I'm buyin them lol

The guy at the tire shop told me I should get em, I wrote that to you on instagram. He said nothin crazy just a small spacer even with the 275s and it should be good. Thing is some guy at another shop told my dad a few years back that spacers are bad and give you shimmys and vibrations... If I got spacers would my lug nuts fit? Idk if thats a dumb question or not

Yes your lug nuts will fit.

I had 1.5" spacers on the back with my 275s and it sat perfectly flush.
Spacers should run you like $55 brand new.

Those look good but I'd rather not cheap out on em. AM got some H&R and Eibach spacers, I might check em out. The spacers didn't give you any vibrations at all?

Nope no vibrations what-so-ever. And just because they're on ebay doesnt make them 'cheap'.
I got mine for $30 and I've never had a problem with them. I've done donuts, burnouts, launches, drifts, you name it... these things are pretty solid.

Mine are American muscle. No problems with them at all! I agree, I would hesitate to trust no-name eBay stuff on something as vital as a spacer.

I had 275's on the back with a 1.5 inch spacer from H&R. The tire scraped the fender when entering driveways and such. If you decide to get a spacer for 275 I wouldn't go over 1 inch.
