You can take the boy out of Florida, but you can't take the "duh" out of DeerMeat.

Hey now...
friend of a friend that ended up being my friend made me a deal I couldn't refuse...
FINALLY tried out a square setup and now I understand what all the hype was about...17x9 +45 is the way and I won't go back.
Ended up with 245 fronts and 255 rear but I still call it square. Might need the extra meat out back pretty soon anyway...

LOVE the look and it truly transformed the way the car drives...even just cruising around is so much more fun now.

@SamDoe1 I googled but does that mean where the front walks the car all over the road or follows lines in the road?
I think going from AS to summer's might have helped but it's actually better than before...before with the skinnier fronts, I felt like
it would follow these particular grooves on US27...also when you'd get off throttle it would do this weird little wiggle into the rear...
like under load, not under load...and now it just feels great. I don't think it's bad on this car...
Rears could use a SMALL spacer to widen a tad, but it isn't necessary.

Yup. Generally speaking, going wider in the front makes it worse. Might be different tires or something but I don't know. I guess 255's aren't THAT wide but it's good to hear it was a positive upgrade!

Mine also had the weird wiggle. Some forum research led me to believe it was something to do with the LSD locking and unlocking under acceleration. No idea how true that was though.

Glad to see this thing back on some aftermarket wheels. I don't hate the OEM wheels but you know I loved when it was on the white wheels. These look really good too.

You should get him to loan them to you for the dragon since he won't take the S2k likely.
