88 N/A, I will post more pics once they are re-shod and mounted, and I chase the squirrel out of the front end of my engine...

17x7 (55) (205-50-17) and 17x8.5 (50) (255-40-17) with Pirelli P Zero Rossos mounted, rears are almost bald, fronts are almost new, gonna swap out tires for a full matching set and mount as soon as I chase down my noise in my prior thread...

go 225/245 on those rims. also you may need spacers for the front to clear the grease cap. if you put spacers in you need longer lug bolts.

won't need spacers with that style wheel.

225/45 and 255/40 are the right tires for those.

nice pick up. i paid $300 last year for just a pair of 8.5's!!

right for the wheel wrong for the car. a 225/245 will give him less understeer. of course it wont look as cool
