New Wheels and Tires on 83 Bird!

i just got new wheels and tires on my 83 Bird. i went with Cragar Black D Window wheels (15x7, 4 in backspacing) and Cooper Cobra Radial GT tires (P235/60R15). everything fits perfectly and i think it looks great.

i got the wheels from Summit, but i got the tires at a local guy..charged me $93 per tire- that's mounting and balancing included.

Re: New Wheels and Tires on 83 Bird!

right now its stock height..i might drop the front a little but i haven't decided yet. if not, i'm probably going to leave it how it is...lowered cars are cool, but idk if its for me.

I like the wheels- All you have to do now is paint your car black.
