Personally from a styling standpoint i think the KDW's are overused, but they are used by all the big suspension companies like DSE and Ridetech. From what ive heard the KDW's are a better tire, but i think the tread is a little much for a mild 'looking' car imo

John,

I sold the TT2's along time ago. Its on my weld's(drag set up) currently. I ordered the wheels from PRRC and did not have funds to get the tires at the time. Will be ordering tires sometime this week hopefully.

Also wanted to say rushforth got these suckers done in 4 weeks flat! Thats some great turn around time!

Ordered the tires today! I ended up going with 555's.

235/40/18 and 275/35/19

I like the 235's for the front to help keep the sidewall very square and similar to the rears on 10's.

I may lower it about a 1/4 to 1/2 more in the rear...maybe

Dropping the back end would be a good move. Lower the car, the more attitude it will have. Will lowering the back end effect the look of the front?

03-18-2010, 08:41 PM
they look killer!
I would drop it just a tad in the rear too.

03-18-2010, 09:32 PM
Yep...gonna drop the back a bit! i think a 1/2 should do it. Thanks guys for the props! Down the road plan to have the wheels widened to 19x12's and mini tub it.

Very nice Ron. Nice color combo.
I agree with everyone else. A drop would be good.:thumbsup:

The back is 3" dse drop springs. You think 1/2" should do it??
DRJDVM's '69
03-19-2010, 10:16 AM
Very nice.... I think if you drop it in the rear you may need to drop the front too. Right now its looks pretty "even" front to back....not much rake to it with the stance now. You dont want to look like you are hard launching the car all the time :)

Thanks Ned. I think it could take maybe a 1/2" drop. I will play with it and see how it looks.

Thanks bro...Im gonna start a new thread on ride height. What does yours measure from the lowest part on the front fender opening/lip and the rear opening /lip. Mine is 24" front and 25.5" rear.

Ron I just checked mine for you.

My garage pavement is quite uneven so here are the measurements: Front 23-1/4" and rear (23-3/4" driver side) (24-1/2" pass side). I am sure on even pavement the rear would level out to ~24.2"

Hey those wheels look great on your car. It is my favorite color also...lol. I almost went with the brushed centers on mine. I think they both look awesome. Drop that sucker down a bit in the rear it will look BA.:yes:
