They just look "right" on these cars.



Good info Albert!

Definitely 17s. That sidewall is getting too short on those 18s...

SW, you really have a flair for making a car look wicked. Awesome T/A. I have to agree with you on one thing, the 73 is my favorite too.

I like the 17s but I think the 18s fit the well better. They come out further too and are more flush with the body. I would change to a taller side wall tire though. This was a problem I was concerned about with my TA when sizing tires. I wanted the bigger rim but wanted a meatier more muscular tire. So I went with 40 series tires. I have 245s front and 275s rear. Here's a picture of my car. It's not the best but hopefully it shows another option.

and my car looks like a 4x4 compared to SW's. Doh! The suspension has settled some since that picture was taken 3 years ago. I'll try to get a better one soon if anyone would care to see.
