Came with a used set of Continental Contactsport 2's. 225/40/18 up front and 285/30/18 in the rear. Offsets are 50 up front and 65 in the rear. Went with 1.25 inch spacers on the rear with a little rubbing, thinking about taking a wack at rolling the fenders tonight. Up front I used a set of .25 inch slip on spacers I had laying around from my other car and they worked very well. This finish on the wheels is pretty impressive to me. Done by Speedvision Motorsports out of CA.

Based upon the spacers you used, I'm assuming the car is an '86? I'd like to know, as I have an '86 also and am gonna have to do something about wheels before these tires run out.
Love the look! I wish I could find a set of black MY02's somewhere around here that I could try on... I usually love the look of black wheels, but I can't decide whether or not I think they would look good on Crystal Green Metallic.

Yes the car is an '86. I do like the look of the big fatty's on the back! As for the trim peice, I wacked the miror and the trim peice off the other day trying to back into my garage and make room for my Tahoe, Nothing major but I sill have to get that trim peice back on. I'll prob get some more pictures, I would like to paint the spacers black to match and make sure I get some anti-seize on them before the car gets put away for the winter.

Those look awesome in black! Paint or powder coating?
I have the same wheels in storage and thought I'd need bigger than a 1 inch spacer for the rears (I think mine are 27 mm's) but I haven't gotten anything for the fronts, yet. A 1/2 inch is all you need in the front? Interesting!
