Default Fineally some tires that fit

Ever since I put the tires and wheels on my car I've never been happy with 275-35-18s on the front so I decided to waste some more money and replace them with a 265-40-18 and now satisfied with h the way it looks. The section width is within 2/10s of an inch of the 275 and the extra diameter fills out the wheel well nicely. Think I might raise the car a little.Now I've got 2 275-35-18s with about 700 on them for $400 if anybody wants them.

Looks great Jeff. I like the lowered appearance rock:

These cars might be 20 something years old but they still are eye catching

Actually, the lowered look is pretty cool.

How did you do that?

That is one REALLY NICE looking Z!
Everything fits together:
The white/red-clean!
HRE's
Lowered

Like mine, you probably flatten out
lots of bumps! I had to easy-out
my transmission drain plug.
