It only took a week before I started the mods (it's a shame when you have an addiction!). Anyway, here's a look at our new '07 SS with 18x8.5" Dub Dirty Dogs w/+45mm offset. everything fits fine (no rubbing up front) but I can tell by measuring that the rear fender lips will need to be rolled about 1/4" for adequate clearance. There's no rubbing out back right now under normal driving conditions but under a heavy load or severe bump the sidewalls run the risk of getting chewed. I would have liked to have gone to a 20" wheel but ride quality is more important to my wife since this is her daily driver and this car already has a noticable stiff tire in an 18" 50 series.

The Eibach lowering springs are already on order too....can't wait until they get here. They're supposed to ship in less than two weeks!

hey, welcome to the site


awesome lookin monte, love those dirty dog wheels, didn't know they made them smaller than 20's, but they look very good, i love them in 20's

 

[sm=drooldude.gif] Nyce!

 

Really sets it off nice. I like the look of 18 inchers much better than 20's

 

I agree. The chrome 18's really look good on the car, and look proportional to the car. I think 20's would look a little too big.

Nice car!

 

By the way, whatever happened to member '02on20's?'

He had a real nice looking car with those black 20's.

 

I like low profile tires, but on a car I prefer to keep the rims under 20". Otherwise the tires get to be too low profile. Plus the ride comfort really suffers too. My preference is to keep the 20+ inch rims for trucks and SUV's. But to each their own.

02on20s does have a nice car, and I applaud all the work he did. I find that the profile of the tires is a little too low-profile for my taste. But like I said, to each their own. If everybody like all the same things, the world would be a pretty boring place.

 

Hi and welcome! Those rims really suit that car!! Good choice!
Cheers

 

Those look 2 sweet!!!
