Definitely have me settled on 17in wheels now, would it take work to get 17X9s on the car with a 275/40 tire?
And my old American Racing Vectors

That's VERY kind of you, especially since I did all the wrenching/bodywork (everything but the paint) myself. I appreciate the kind words!

Wow.
Those look like 19's? What fitment are you running front and rear? Tire size as well?
That looks GOOD.
EDIT:
Does anyone know what offset the standard C3 backspacing works out to? I want to get a set of 18's or 19's but am still looking for concrete info on offset vs. backspacing.
