So after searching forever for wheels that i liked for my car i finally decided on some b&g old school wheels. took awhile to get them and then after i got them one got destroyed my the shop mounting the tires on them. finally they are on the car .

good taste in wheels right there! Lookin great!

What size tires and wheels are you running?

The front are 17x 8 with a 245 45 tires and the rear are 17x9.5 with 275 40 tires both are nitto 555 tires

Nice!

They look nice!

Thank you. I am very pleased with how the car is coming together

Out of curiosity, why didn't you go 9.5" up front also with 275-40-17 sized tires?

I like the staggered look and I feel like it's easier to turn with the Skinner wheels upfront. With my stock tires it was kinda annoying turning around in my driveway. Might just be me tho haha. Also I wasn't sure if they would fit haha

Those look GREAT!

Car looks good!

I understand recommending a square setup for autocross and road racing due to a thirdgen's suspension tuning and weight distribution. However, is it that big of a deal for a street driven car?

Yes. Being able to rotate the tires will allow them to wear evenly. There is no rotating a staggered setup except from left to right(unless it has directional tires, then you have to dismount tires and swap them left to right.)

I like the look! Especially that lip on the rear. Very nice.

Thank you I think the lip looks perfect in the rear for the car

Looks great!!! Matches the two tone well .... Also nice choice on exhaust tips!!!

I am definitely pleased on how the car is coming out. I just need to get my subframe connectors welded in and the suspension and chassis is basically completely upgraded

How'd the shop ruin the wheel?

The wheel got stuck on the machine and when the machine rotated the wheel it's destroyed about 60% of the outside lip

There is a huge increase in braking and handling performance on a 3rd gen by having a 275 on all 4 corners vs. a 245/275 staggered setup.

The extra width up front helps to balance out the front heavy bias in terms of handling, and since the front wheels/tires do 70% of braking duty - the extra tire on the ground helps that too.
