well rear tires will be 275/40/17 and fronts will be 255/40/17 Traction should never be an issue now.. Now i just gotta have them powdercoated... Looking for ideas.. Bronze, black, gunmetal are what i'm looking at now.. which color will work best???????

LMAO... well when you drive a 3500 pound car you don't worry about weight as much as you guys do. but the fronts are about 25 pounds and the rears are 24 pounds
