Hope you're getting new tires. 235 on a 7" rim sounds a little fishy to me. He might just be wrong though, since he's got them listed as '95 Camaro rims, I don't think he's to good with numbers. Laughing

Those look just like the ones I sold to Aaron, but I painted them black to cover up the faded red Very Happy

Those would look real good if you were able to polish them to a mirror finish, alot of work, but doable Cool

Whats fishy bout the size? I've got 215s on the front and 275's on the rear of the 2nd gen, both on 7" rims.

Do you get a lot of sidewall movement with a 275, Brandon?

I always see guys try and shove a wider tire on, and it just ends up squishy and bulging out.

A 275 is about right for an 8" wheel. On my 10" wheels they're a bit small. It is large for 7" but works fine.

I run 245's on my 16x7's.

If you paint them, I suggest you leave the machined surface exposed on the lip and the outer edges of the spokes, it looks much nicer than one solid color.

Here's how I did the ones Aaron now has...

that was what i was thinking to do. what kind of paint did you use?

Al Hasse · Posted: Sun Sep 20, 2009 9:27 am Post subject:

After they were stripped, I used a self-etching primer, then a couple of coats of caliper paint (Duplicolor, I think I used), followed by a clear coat.

lol well the tires were 235 and they barely fit in the back so when i get tires for the front ones i need like 215 or like 225 cuz 235s dont fit at all im to low

Huh??? The wheel must not be centered well. I have a lowered car with 275/40 on 17x9 rims and I have tons of extra room to the inside. In fact, I wish I had 18x10 wheels in the back. Mine look skinny from a rear view.

How much are you lowered? I had 245's on 16x8 IROC rims and they fit fine lowered about two inches off the base-model.

lol idk i need to measure but i dont think they'll fit in the front im gonna mount the two that has tires on em on the front and see

TurdGen1989 · Posted: Thu Sep 24, 2009 9:53 pm Post subject:

ok well i got them mounted up turns out it was so low becuase of the 14's that were on it so i went with 235 60 15 up front and 245 60's in the rear looks so much better than it did ... ill try and post some pics tomorrow!

Psh, too low Laughing

. I've yet to run into any real problems at my 3" lower than stock ride height. I was running 285's all around as well.
