Matte Blue... on the PW....

it's always difficult to find a color which tone nicely with PW...

Hi Alcheng. I bought them for use on the track. I want to get an even softer tire than stock for use on the track. Also don't want to wear down the stock tread(what there is of it) when tracking it.

20X9 and 20X10. Will have the same size tires as stock. 275/35/20 front 305/35/20 rear. Might go up to 315's if the tires are available. Looking at Nitto's

You have 275 at the front, will the 9in too narrow?

You can go up to 20X10 & 20X11/12

Should I just go with satin type black and then if Gale ever sends me his brakes I can do candy blue calipers?

Fire · 02-01-2013, 07:12 PM

Sounds like the right size Isa. I posted incorrectly in that they are not the same size as the stock rims, they are 1 inch narrower. The person selling them said he used 275 and 315's.

Satin Blk or Gun for the wheels, and your color of choice on the calipers.

This way the color combination is more balanced.
