New Rims and Rubber!!

Post by green68250 »

I bought some new wheels and tires today for my '68. The wheels are American Racing Bajas and the tires are Yokohama Geolander H/T-S in 265/70/16. What do ya think? The pictures are kinda dark, ill get some better ones tomorrow.

green68,

Nice indeed! :thup:

I bet with that C6 and 4:10 you needed new tires! :lol:

Does she "smoke the tires"?

Yeah, she smoked the old tires. I don't know how long it will be before I let loose and smoke the new tires. They cost too much to do that just yet. But yeah she does have more than enough power, wait you can never have enough power.
