black vs white letters...

wow lotta feedback here! I'm starting to lean twoards just going with the BFG's and ill just see how i like the size. i guess 3" will be a noticable difference.

I do have 2 more 15" rallies, but i would have to paint them since i got the first 2 painted with the car.

3" is a HUGE difference - even a half inch or less is noticeable.

thats good to know. That was my main concern.

Ok, My turn, Without a doubt, raised white letters! They just fit naturally with an old muscle car vibe. I have BFG's myself and I think they are fine on the street. If I was autocrossing it might be different.

I currently have 195-60r14 on the front and 245-60r15 on the back and the front tires just look lost in the wheel well. I used them last summer because they were free but I am refinishing 4 other 15 inch wheels over the winter so the size will match-up a little better with the rears in either a 215-70 or 225-60 size. The other 2 will have the slicks mounted so everything matches at the track.

yeah man thats a real small front tire to begin with haha. i plan on going pretty low in the front and overall. i figure on going with 215/60 with the front. plus the drop i think will look pretty good.

So i solved my own problem guys!! turns out summit doesnt carry as many sizes of BFG's as everyone else. I checked tirerack and they have 205's and 215 60 and 70's. I'm gonna try the 215/60/14 first. I'm gonna try cutting a coil off and see how it settles. if they look too small up front ill change for next year or whenever.

cant wait to order them now!! got my shopping cart all ready 8)
