It was $50 total; the wheels were like $102 before the coupon I think, and DTD always does free shipping on everything.

Got my wheels and tires in. @smbstyle I hope you don't mind me posting here, but I figured this thread was more for the wheels than the tires themselves.

I went with the same setup, but Discount ordered me the incorrect wheel, so I have the black with the red ring.

Tires, I opted for a 255 fit, and the salesman I dealt with gave me the Nitto N555's for the same price as the Falken's I was looking at, so I took those.

I originally had camber bolts installed up front and had them cranked full negative (never had an alignment, I just took them for whatever they gave me), but with these wider tires they didn't fit. I reinstalled the factory crash bolts and these wheels/tires just cleared. I snapped a couple pictures, but didn't drive any further than that. The car is now up on stands, waiting for me to decide on coilovers and lower control arms.

Coilovers installed, mild drop (13.25" from center of wheel hub to wheel arch, all around)

Just as an add on to this. Drag doesn't sell touch up paint or have a paint code for the paint they use on these rims(I called). I found that Duplicolor Graphite Metallic (NG CC 414 in the 1/2 oz. paint pen) is an almost perfect match for the rims. You will chip them, the finish isn't the best.

@smbstyle I think your drop is damn near perfect. I love the look of these cars with a bit of height on them still, and with the meaty tires it looks fantastic!

Did you end up using aftermarket LCA's? It's probably not necessary with the drop as mild as you have it, but I'll be interested to see where your rear camber numbers end up after you get it aligned and corner balanced.

Thanks!

Stock LCAs, stock top hats, just the OEM crash bolts up front. I will post up alignment numbers on Wednesday after the alignment and corner balance.

Sorry for the quality, I had to extract it from a video.
