Pauls car looks good, and I think the turbines with that size tire will be perfect on yours Jerry. I would go 225/60 on the front though.

But aren't Paul's 8" wheels? 255 may be pushing it on a turbine. But maybe not. You may be fine here's a link to tire rack, under the specs it should be ok.

I had 255 s on a set of turbines and to me they did not look quite right , but they were also on a 86 stang convertible not a bird or cat:hick:

I had 275/60/15's on a stock set of 7" wide 10 hole rims. looked good. Wouldnt want that for cornering but looked tough and was pretty decent traction in a straight line.:D

wow, 275 is huge. That's like a truck tire..

Im pondering 225s for the front and 255s for the rears.... anyone know the actual size difference between them?

I agree you have to have the right size tires or turbines just do not look right.

Also, be sure the sidewalls are stiff or else you'll get a nasty swaying. Trust me on this.

For Fathers day, I got a new camera... here's some random pics I took with it.

The stickers are now on my tool cabinet

After my bead basting...

Found this while cleaning. The few parts of my car that had no rust. lol

So I mounted on my wall as a souvenir.

I found that if I catch the light just right, the vert looks awesome. lol... well, minus the missing side moulding and a few rust spots.

and a couple random pics outside.

and the rest of the stuff that needs to go on the car.

Cougar is so black and the tires are so not black, they stick out, lol. Wish I had that kind of room.

Hows this.... no wire wheels...................

These are actually the front tires... The rear tires are on back order till August. These are the 235s. I had to see what it would look like on one side at least. ;)
The rears are ordered.... I'm going with 255s , ,and also decided to go with the white letters. I'm trying to give the entire car that "Muscle Car" look. I think the white letters go pretty good with the entire look of the car... What do you guys think? If I get bored with them, I can always flip them around to black walls...:D
