The boyds are now on.
I finally got the rims and tires , It took 9 weeks from order to get them to my door step , so if you order rims keep this in mind. They are 245/40-18 and 275/35-18 or 18x8 and 18x9.5 with 4.5bs and 5.5 . I would like to thank crazyhawaiian for the help with the rims bs and what size tires i should use. They are yoko avs sport.

Those REALLY set your car off...looks fantastic
That's exactly what your car needed. There was a post awhile back about stock wheels.....yes...stock wheels look good...but with what you've done to your TA...those wheels put the stock wheels to shame..

It's amazing how a set of wheels can totally change the look of a car. Looks 100x better than those stock wheels, just need to drop the rear more too finish the look. BTW, are you going to go to the Hot August Nats?

It's in Rome at the former Griffiss Air Force Base this weekend (13,14,15). I might be there tomorrow, so if you make it look for my GTA.

OH yes your car is looking remarkably cooler than before!!! Thanks for incuding info on the backspacing for that size combo, that is the combo I want, as I had my eye on the tuned rim.

You should have gone with 275/40-18 in the rear, they look smaller then the front now.
