My firebird with dark rims on it

[trbo355]

I remember either Greg or Russell wanted to see my car with some stock type rims on it last year sooo here ya go! They are the stock 16" GTA rims with some Dark grey wheel paint to cover the hideous original gold spokes! They sure make it look innocent and up next is some window tint to hide the cage work from unsuspecting prey.:bigthumbs:

damn, that looks clean and like said earlier very innocent. The real question is, can you get traction with those tires? Whats the rim width and whats the widest tire you can fit out back?

They are 255 50 ZR 15"s that i got with the car and they SUCK. The stock rim is 8 inches wide and i looked at M/T's website and they dont do any wider than the same 255 in a D/R tire unfortunately. I can fit a 12.5 wide section width ET Street under the back and usually run it with those but i like how it drives normal and looks stealthy with the stocker rims on it. Seems the wheel sizes jumped right to 17" and the 16" sizes lost popularity with all the new D/R tire makers out there so it's slim pickins for me. I gotta say those tires on it now are a BLAST on a windy country road at 125+ mph last sunday though! I held that poor motor at 5200 rpm on a 3 mile straight which is about 137 mph till it puked antifreeze and i had to slow down. Heh heh.
The car used to be a weekend warrior autocrosser before i mutated it into a drag car and all of the WS6 stuff is still intact plus full cage and strut brace it never had and i think it corners better than it ever used to. The only bad thing is i let the oil out of the front struts as a cheap hack for the drags and it got a little bouncy in the nose over 100 mph and dips in the road. Oh and the wimpy stock 10.5 rotors vaporized at high speed and i let all the smoke out of em bigtime. Dammit, now i think i need to be an autocrosser dude now! :bigthumbs:
Her is a pix with the drag rubber on board.
