Well, I think I was right about one of those cars...:mullet:

I'll have to double check mine to figure out which one though! Technically, those low-pro's are a touch smaller diameter than the originals, which were 14's. When they wear out I'll get something with a lot more sidewall.

Not much different on mine....
After

 
Gumby I would love details on how you got that stance. Or if there is a thread somewhere already if you could point me to it I would greatly appreciate it, if there isn't a thread maybe you could start one. :D
...and there was light!

that's what i thought.. the originals wheels didn't look all that big.. i have similar wheels but they're 16's wrapped in 235/65's and fill the wheel well more than that

Looks like 27.5" up front, and 28.5" out back. Sounds like I split the difference.  As far as the tires go, the originals were 205/70R14, and the new ones are 225-235/40R18's. I believe the rough diameter on both of them is 25".
