Just wondering if the tire size listed is for front and rear on your black oval. I have the same wheels and am in the process of shopping for tires. Do you recommend the same 225/50/16 all around or would you select different now that you've had them on the car? How do the tires ride? I'm looking for a quiet tire; are the Pirelli's ok at highway speeds?

BTW I love the stance of your car. It is just about perfect and the wheel choice is great for hiding big brakes. Partly the reason I chose them.

Wheels and tyres

Hi,
The wheels and tyres on my Oval are 16X6 Design 90's al round with a 52mm offset.
Tyres are 195/50/16's. you should be able to get away with more than that as I ran the rear IRS arms upside-down to run almost no camber so the top of the wheels were very close to the inner edge of the wing.

Do you have any pictures of the chassis? I am very interested in the rear suspension setup for my mid mounted project. Great project!
