Rotarded1647545491 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 After the mayhem the other night, I got a fire under my ass and put my winter tires/rims on. Who likes the 16 inch 5 spokes better than the stock 17 inch 7 spokes? Summer shoes 17x8 stockers: http://usera.ImageCave.com/Rotarded/benz.jpg Winter shoes: 16x8 ML350 rims, Dunlop Winter Sport M2s : http://usera.ImageCave.com/Rotarded/avatars/c230.jpg Thanks Craigslist!

Farkas Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 I know plenty of people with lifts.. I just don't want to roll around town in winter mode, hideous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 What kind of tires? 9" tires on a car that light may not be good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 My Stock tires have less than 5k on them, but are shitty in the rain. Snow tires were a must! RWD + Supercharger + 3400lb, Weight distribution front/rear: 53.8/46.2% = traction nightmare in snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Summer stockers look much better, but for winter wheels those aren't bad at all. Put my winter rims on today. Man my truck looks goofy now. Another reason why winter sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
