Is there any way we can tell who is running what suspension along with the wheels and tires? I want to know how much drop some of these cars go. I'm getting ready to get coils and would like to run 1" drop or 1.3" drop and want to know if anyone has any combos.

I am on the fence about this, I really like it but I'm just not sure if 17s are too big for my car. The reason being is because I almost want to run a set of C5 Vette rims on it or WS6 rims on it, although I don't know what it will look like. I like how you painted the rear bumper to match though, it kinda seems goofy to me to have an Endura front bumper and a chrome rear.

What color did you go with on that car? I'm thinking of going blue on mine, this looks good, or if I could find a Nightwatch Blue on one of these that would be great.

I need help in deciding on what rally2 wheels to buy.
The front tires will be 235/60/15 and the rear will be 255/60/15
My question is back spacing and should I just get 15x7 rims?
Or 15x8 for the rear and 15x7 for the front?
The car is a stock supension 69 GTO

15x7s with the standard back spacing will be fine.

If you got to 275s on the rear, you could get away with 15x7 but should really go to 15x8s.

This is assuming its for a 69 GTO which I am guessing by your name.

Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"
