    9" wheel is probably at the limit. Seems a little odd to me not to go with 18's for brake upgrade/swaps so the calipers clear.

    It's our second set of those tires in 235. There was cash back until like the 12th on Tirerack. Paid $460 after $70 rebate w/free 2 year road hazard.

    yeah I originally wanted to do an 17x8 but I found these 17x9 on a closeout cheaper than any new wheel I was looking at and only 1lb more still 7 lbs lighter then my current rim and that's cool im glad to know you got a second set of these tires they must be good right was worried on the quality since they seemed to good to be true.

    also I already did the f-body brake upgrade with ss lines and that is extreme stopping power to me lol don't think my eyeball sockets could handle anymore stopping power and they fit good with the current 17s I have on now
