Hey Niconauts!

I got a dilema. 2 rear tires are almost dead so I have to buy new tires or go ahead and get a new wheel setup. Please help me out, knowing i live in Montreal and we got crappy roads up here.

any new ideas, input or comments are welcome.. good or bad.

Here are picture of what i got now. 16x7 front (205/55r16) , 16x8 rear (225/50r16) both are Summitomo HTR Z tires



Thank you.

P.S. the muffer now sits straight and is dual tip

I was in a pinch when I delivered a E61 I put together for someone and between MI and NC the rear started rubbing a bit under hard cornering... used a cut off shovel handle and a hair dryer when I got to NC... worked perfectly, haha

Eastwood's the way to roll though... pun intended

Glad you fixed the muffler... it's a clean car other than that...

Money might be better spent on some good condition used tires and some springs/shocks or coilovers... car's going to look kinda funny up in the air with some bigger wheels under it
