Nice car. Looks like some massive wheels you've got there, what size tyres and how did it affect performance, assuming they're much heavier than stock?

Thanks, it would be more interesting to see performance figures on the road before & after. Being 20" they're probably 235 or wider?

Those pipes should flip any car driving behind you

Why did you loose performance if those wheels are lighter?

Probably the heavy fat tyres.

Didn't get an answer but I'm assuming 235 or 245's?

Hi Sav
Tyres are bigger in circumference and it's a 235
The rims are lighter in weight compared to original rims.

Does that cause your speed to be inaccurate on the speedometer?

Cool, any pics from the rear?

Freedom - it should be more accurate with bigger wheels.
