Out with the old and in with the NEW

Took off my old Stockies and got some new shoes on my ride today. Fig since my tires needed replacing( Factory ones at that) i just got the package deal with new wheels and tires for a lil more than new tires alone.

So you bought a set of 16" wheels to replace your 18" wheels? I dont understand this, could have at least done 17s. The wheels look good but too much rubber on the sidewalls for a GTS imo.

I really hate Mitsu for not using the black tail lights on the 08 cars. Ride quality is really dependent on the tires. Don't always have to have more rubber for softer ride. But I understand what you were going for. Car looks good.

Did you lower it or just have that much of a larger diameter tire?
