If you go down to 16's be sure to drop the car haha...or get larger tires...so it's not got so much space...i'd go to 18's if i were you

haven't called you yet mark because he wasn't working today...I got a quote from one guy there who quoted like 80 bucks a tire...that was for some Z rated Federals i think he called them...another place you might wanna check is Bunton Lebe in Statesville...the guy that works at this place in Taylorsville, that's where he left from...I got my wheels and tires down there at Buntons before he left...they usually are pretty cheap no matter what...704-872-7621 is their number...i can give you good directions there if you get a good price

SPOOLIN K20 · 02-20-2008, 04:43 PM
