If I had to guess, I'd say contact Scott.

Got it...been meaning to do that.:thumbsup:

Jon,
I want to get the deepest rear lip as possible.
How do I get this treatment on my rear wheel to ensure I achieve MAX lip size?

Thanks,
Chris

Best way is to contact Jon @ www.driverzinc.com and let him take care of those details for you...he's the expert here.:yes:

I just talked to Jason, he answered everything for me.
Thanks,

Oh yeah, I ordered my wheels finally.
Livewire, Black w/ Chrome & hardware.

those will look sweet. post pics when you get them.

oh and dont worry, it wont be 17 weeks...... im probably the only one who hasnt figured out who those other guys are. but then again, jon was my first call.

Tim

Still rocking and rolling wheels out in about 4-5 weeks over here. Thanks again for all the support gentlemen, we appreciate greatly the support from our customers, and genuinely like getting to know and work with all of you!

Chris, you will be well taken care of, no worries, your wheels are already going to have the deepest wheel lip possible, since it is at MIN backspace, the pads won't make a difference in this case. The wheel center will be pushed all the way back towards the drop center of the wheel. That's a HUGE lip!

Thanks again! :thumbsup:

That's what I'm talking about.
:unibrow:

Thanks Jon
:cheers:

Hi, Im new to this site. I like the look and stance of your 69. Looking to make mine sit the same way. If you dont mind me askin a couple questions, how much is your car lowered front and back, is it mini tubbed at all and what are you running for a front suspension ie, control arms, spindles and springs. I wanted to do 18s front and back and was wondering the max width and backspacing I could run. Yours looks perfect and since you say you have no rubbing, Id like to do the same. Thanks

Thanks for the nice comments and welcome man.:thumbsup:
All my specs are listed in the members rides section,just click on the picture of my car to bring up all the specs.No tubs on this car,all pretty much GM stock,with some tweaks of course.:unibrow:
PM me if you need any further info.

Can you send me a link to this page..sorry, Im still getting used to this site.

Thanks

Wish I was more help but I need help turning my computer on man...:willy:

When you open this site on the main page,scroll all the way down till you get to the small pictures of all the members rides...look for my car then click on it...It'll pull up a page with more pics of my car plus all the specs.

Hope that helps you man.:thumbsup:

nice wheels !too bad you put some foreign tires on it :) its like a veteran driving a honda just my .02

Strange comment:rolleyes: ...considering the Nitto tires are among the best handling tires available,regardless of where they're made.I also happen to like the way they look,which is a biggie in my book.
Some of those other performance tires have some strange tread patterns that I would not put on one of my cars...regardless of price.

It's a global world we live in...in case you didn't notice.

then why are they not on any supercars american or not?'
corvette zr1 - michelin ps2
ferrari f430 - pirelli p0
honda accord- nitto ?
get some good tires , do not buy because the tread pattern looks cool?

I guess everyone is intitled to their own opinion,right or wrong...:yes:

Please post up pictures of your rides with your tire choices!

Im with John they have to look good. When you have a big dollar wheel a boring tire would ruin it.

AJSZR2326 are you serious? im really not sure, hence the reason im asking. what tires would you run? is every part of those that you like made in an American factory by American English speaking workers? any reason you dont like them other than where they originated? just asking because i was about to get a set and id like to hear your opinion. btw, theyre the only ones that make the 305/35/20 that i need.

sorry to hijack john, but im a little perplexed........

Tim

We just got the 305/35/20 wrapped around some Rushforth Fuels (pics coming soon), and they look awesome.

You are telling us that you don't own anything made outside of the U.S.? Come on..... take a look at your shoes and see where those are made. Parts for your U.S. car? Most electronics?

I like the tire and I am happy to have them. Again, just my opinion, and don't mean to change the subject of this thread also.

btw, theyre the only ones that make the 305/35/20 that i need


really? there the only mfg that make that size? i dont think so !
try here http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Compar...t=All&x=70&y=8

dont get too upset i'm just saying nice wheels deserve good tires

And Nittos are good tires. I run them on almost all of my personal vehicles. Just because a tire is made in Japan, does not mean its crap, its a very high quality tire, and I stand behind all of our customers who have, and are running Nitto. To each their own, but clearly you've never run Nitto tires, and can not speak from experience. They perform... period. So lets agree do disagree, and leave it at that, I think this conversation is not adding anything constructive to the thread.

Agreed..and well said Jon.

try before you bash
 

whoa why bashing such a good tire company???? i personal am not a fan of mst tires you would like such as good year,dunlop,bf goodrich just cause the wear patteren i have seem from them on different vechiles i have to align and so but before you start bashing a tire compan try them first!!! oh by the way not all honda are made in japan and there right your shoes pobably did not come from the usa along with your tv and computer.

you should read the thread first, i didnt bash nitto i called them foreign thats all.i like the rims too.im sure if iran/north korea made good tires youd put them on your car, but not me sorry.

It's a global world in which we live in...
 

Again...please post up pictures of the tires you've selected for your rides,I'm just dying to see this.:unibrow:

wondering still
 

i was wondering do you buy gas for your car? i mean it is foreign oil that is brought over so you might wanna go ford and do bio diesel but make sure that truck is 100 % american cause i know ford does not have every thing made in the usa. guess you just might wanna go hide in your bomb shelter due to most products are not made in the usa anymore.

please post your tires for us!!!

hey guys, youre missing the fact that he lives in a cave (check the profile). if i lived in one, i wouldnt get out very often. it would be nice storage for the chevelle, except for all the bat crap that would get on it.

btw, if its just the fact that theyre not made in the US, youre way behind the curve. the aluminum that your wheels are made out of is most likely not mined in the US. get over it and post your pics. also, i checked out the other mfg's of the size i needed and they were all twice as much. if i thought i was getting twice the quality, i would do it in a heartbeat. i have had no expense spared on this project, but i just dont see the pt.

Tim

Michelin- Made in Mexico
Pirelli- Made in Italy
Nitto- Made in Japan

Your argument just lost all its relevance.

Most tire manufacturers make a great tire. I personally choose a tire by the size, tread wear and lastly pattern. Both the NT01 from Nitto and the Pilot Cup are great street/track tires. To say one is undeserving because it was not made in America is just plain stupid, when none of the brands you mentioned were made here either.

Tyler

cosigned^

Why do people have to be so ignorant of facts?

What tires are actually MADE in the USA? I know for a fact the Pirellies are made all over the world. I also know that most Goodyear tires are made overseas, including CHINA.

I think Cooper tires are made in the USA still... not many others though. So, this whole "don't put foreign tires on your car!" deal is pretty lame and not well thought out.

And what makes you think a Nitto or Toyo tire is any lower quality than a Goodyear tire? Is the Goodyear tire better if it was made in China?

It's logical fallicy to assume that because the company is American held that the tires are American made.

:lol:

Bridgestone - is a Japanese rubber conglomerate founded in 1931 by Shojiro Ishibashi in the city of Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan

Pirelli - founded 1872 in Milan by Giovanni Battista Pirelli, Pirelli & C. SpA is a diverse multinational company based in Milan, Italy

Dunlop - Dunlop Tyres was an international United Kingdom-based company founded in 1888 by John Boyd Dunlop

Michellin - incorporated on May 28, 1888 in Clermont-Ferrand in the Auvergne région of France - The own BF Goodrich

:rofl:

WOW!! I guess trying to support your country is now a bad thing??? Yes, we all should look to buy American when available. You are supporting the Country you live in, doesn't that make sense???

I do agree with buying the better product but I personally look for the MADE IN USA sticker regardless of what I am shopping for.

USA Co's are forced to have their products made overseas in order to compete. Still buying from a USA Co keeps the money here even if they outsource the mfg'ing.

Buy whatever you want but the job you save may be your own!!

At least alot of the money stays here,store that sold them,warehouse,trucking company's that haul them.That's worth something for American jobs.:thumbsup:

it's a global world we live in...:yes:

Now back to our regular scheduled program....Wheels look great!! The smoked finish looks killer! Fitment and stance have been nailed pefectly. :thumbsup:

Brent

Thanks Brent...pictures do not do them justice...seriously,they look and fit perfectly and I could not be happier!:yes:

The point is that almost NO tires are made in the USA... and most companies that people THINK at USA are actually held, in all or part, by foreign companies.

So is it better that I buy a Silverado made in Mexico or an Accord made in Arkansas?

Buying your tires for an AMERICAN dealer probably helps more than what tire you're buying.

I try to buy USA for my car, but with some items, like tires it's just nearly pointless (and nearly impossible).

Also, the argument that a foreign tire is "junk" just because it's "foreign" is ignorant.

Ok, I'm off my soapbox..

I'm calling Cooper tires in the morning to see if they make a 335/30/18 tires.. ;)


For the record, only one of those companies are American (Goodyear) and there's zero reason to assume that tire is made in the USA since most of thier tires are made overseas.

Actually you "get some good tires" which implies that the Nittos are not "good".. which I guess means you said they are "bad" :shrug:

Then you told us to buy AMERICAN tires and listed a bunch of companies that aren't even American owned.

Might want to try that Google deal next time. :D

uh-o did i re spark this debate? lol:_paranoid
