just a few months ago i switched to 255/55/18(29") up front and 285/50/18(29.22") out back, but i just sold the 18's yesterday


Now im back on stockers with a 275/60/17(30"). Im thinking of going lower now 4/6 or possibly 5/7
So even after getting everyones opinions, and going for the middle ground, i now regret my drop
I thought the Archers looked great, did you sell them for the dough?

Im rockin a 4/6 with a bolt in C notch and Belltech Street Performance shocks all the way around. I love it. It scrapes in some places just because its an extended cab but it rides amazing. It actually rides 10x better than my buddies ECSB at stock height. Dont ask me how lol. It also handles about the same with 80% of the F Bodies and the like that run around here.
