Ok I went ahead with my tire and wheel combo order yesterday! Now I "only" have to wait 6-8 weeks to get them! ugghhh. That's cool since the car is in body shop prison as we speak. I ordered Boyd Cottington JYD's from Newstalgia. Their customer service is awesome! If you're looking for a good deal you need to try them before you decide! What do you all think of this:

Front: 17x8 5" backspace 235/45's
Rear: 17x8 5" backspace 255/45's

I was torn between getting 17x8 or 17x9.5 for the rear but I just didn't want to push the envelope too much. I need the extra lil backspace for the 4 wheel Baer Disk brakes and also the Hotchkis TVS KIT.

I want to thank you all for your input and opinions!

Sweet! :thumbsup:

I picked up my car yesterday. It drives and brakes like a dream. Rides not too harsh at all. And with my set up i've got plenty of clearance for my wheels. What you ordered sounds like it'll fit no problem. Be prepared to get longer wheel studs for the rear, as long as it has drums now. And i ran into an issue with the master cylinder that came in the Baer kit. I'm not very mechanical, so bear with me. My mechanic said the input shaft from the master cylinder to the booster was too long. When the brake fluid heated up, it would expand and push the shaft in so it engaged the brakes a tiny bit. So the rears would lock up! He just took the shaft to a machine shop and had 3/8 of an inch taken off of it, and it was fine. So good luck with your car. And i'll have detailed picks up next week of my ride! :beers:
