new wheels & tires

[eric jones]

These are the new wheels and tires I bought. I've been looking at buying these wheels off and on for 4 years. I wasn't sure if they would look as good as the stock wheels but I have to say they really set the car off. They are Boss 338 chrome staggered fitment 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 front with Falken tires. It rides good and the tires have excellent handling character.

nice looks great imo

[MOTOWN]

Nice setup

[fastblackmerc]

Looks nice but I still like the OEM Marauder wheels......

[rauder88]

I think it looks great.

[lifespeed]

Is the only thing keeping them from hitting the fenders the high ride height?

[cer0413]

Bout time you post lol.

[dmjarosz]

Looks good but needs lowering and bigger brakes!

[eric jones]

Thanks guys. They don't rub and there is room to lower the rear a little bit. I'm gathering parts for the big brake upgrade, already have Jerry's brackets. The pics don't do them justice. You really have to see them in person.

[chief455]

look like Torque Thrust II's, you have the 4x4 look, lot's of ground clearence and easy to get in/out of the car ;)
Everyone is lowered, be different - looks cool.

[svtrichie]

Will they tuck in the front or will they hot if the car is lowered. What size tires are they. Any better side pics of the front. I have been wanting the same wheel in gray

[JBeezy]

Looks good, would look better if the front came down some, even a little in the rear.

[Mac-MerC]

Ugly.
Slap some stockers on there asap.

Nice wheels its nice to see another boss wheels fan i have run boss 328 chrome rims since 2007

I appreciate the comments and suggestions. The OE wheels enhance the look of the car perfectly and I will never get rid of them but I also think that these wheels enhance the look just as well yet differently. When I met and talked with Bob Babcock about the car at Marauderville in Indianapolis a few years back, one of the things he said was part of his design for the car was that it also be a kind of "blank slate" for personalizing. So...TO EACH HIS OWN

There's the problem. You spoke to Bob Babcock and he gave bad advice. Steve Babcock would have said OEM wheels or nothing. :D :beer:

While I'm not a fan of the OP's wheels per se, they definitely look better than I thought they would for 20s.

Agreed - 20's in general (not these) took time for me to like. A few years ago anything over 18" looked ghetto to me, now anything under 18" looks dated and I see more and more 20's that I like.

Funny how that went . . . .

[justbob]

Needs lowered. I like the rim choice. Does it stick out past the front fender lip though??

The best 20"s I've seen yet. 2,4showfast and jus4kix03mm

You are correct on the name...my bad. Did you speak with "Steve" Babcock too? And he didn't say OE wheels or nothing. You are incorrect.

Don't take others opinions as a personal attack.

Just accept they have their opinion and you have yours and this thread will be less stressful.

I'm not a fan but you can only make one person happy, pick you :D

Very true and well said. I like them.....a lot😊!

I did speak with him at MV7 and MV9. It was a joke, it's your car so you can do as you please. I just haven't seen a wheel on this car that would ever make me change my opinion over stock.

[MOTOWN]

Some prefer aftermarket, some prefer oem , which is fine, but its also tiresome to hear i like the oem wheels when no asked anyone's preferences, just a member who is proud to make his car his own, period!

[adtaylor]

Exactly what I was thinking Motown.

Nice wheels do you have the stock ones, polished if so give me a call 815-474-2710
