Very cool Joe. Depending on my (and my dad's

) employment status come spring, we're trying to get LT's and a good tune on the Goat. If we can't find a place locally, I was considering the place you went... you still happy with the tune they gave you?

Yep. You can't go wrong with either FLP or Modern Muscle. Both great places w/ extremely knowledgeable guys.

Pedders Street II (-strut tower bar + inner control arms and rear radius rod bushings) officially ordered and going in March 27/28.

kse73 · 04-01-2009, 11:20 AM

Well the big day has arrived! My wheels showed up via Fed Ex a bit ago and I'm happy for the most part. Unfortunately one of the rears showed up w/ ZERO weights on them so either it is perfectly balanced as is, or I have to take it to a tire shop nearby for them to balance it. The General Exclaim 275's look WIDE. I'm hoping they're not going to make this impossible for me to fit correctly but we shall see Friday.

I brought one of the rears out to the car and noticed it is going to be a little bit larger of a rolling diameter than my other 2 setups (17" and 18" stockers).

I'm thinking maybe I should have stayed w/ 18" wheels....

Nice!

Not going to lie, I just glanced at the photo at first and thought "hold damn, those things stick out"

SikMindz · 04-01-2009, 03:59 PM

19's joe? What size tires are you running?

I've got 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 going on the front and rear of my 5 respectively (19x8.5, 19x9.5). I don't recall you saying yours is a staggered set up so I'm assuming 275/30s all around?

I got the same tires...Generals were great when I had them on the GA. Can't complain for the price either.

Edit: Actually went back a page. 19x8, 19x9.5 I see.

Nah not yet. Once I get it all cleaned up, we should hit up Strats.

I know...that would have sucked. I actually did my homework on the offsets to avoid a tragic mistake like that. Some other people on the site did not and it looks like the Vato low-riders from LA.

You answered your own Q. And yes...for the price, Generals can't be beat. I have them on my 18" wheels right now too.
