New wheels on wifes car

Got the wheels and tires mounted yesterday on my wifes car.

They are 17X8 Torq thrust M's with Nitto Invo 255/50 on the rear and 245/45 on the front. Car is lowered 2"


What do you folks think ?







I think the front needs to be dropped another inch or so.

Looks great!

I agree. :)
Another stupid question. Would lowering the front help the car handle better in Autocross ?
Yes, but not really by much... not enough for any novice driver to notice anyway.
The car looks Great as is but if it were mine it would have the Wheel well molding & the correct exhaust tips on it.

but otherwise leave it as is.
Agree - looks great.

Sharp car. I think the tips would look much better tucked in toward the bumper more. You could probably whack off 4 inches of pipe.....yeah, yeah.. "thats what she said" :D

I dig it! Wish my wife had a car like that. :thumbsup:
nice choice
Looks great, I wouldn't change a thing. :thumbsup:
Nice Car! Nice wheels...too much black though, JMO. I would have went with the chrome or gray Torq's. Maybe if you put the wheel well moldings on, it would break up the black.

I agree and will be fixing the tips when the new 3" exhaust goes on.

I agree with adding the moldings to break up the black.

I have some lowering front springs if you want to try them - if you like them, we'll agree on a number.
Like the wheels/tire combo. Been waiting to see what a 255/50-17 would actually look like on one of these. That's a much wider looking tire than I expected.
I like them, looks nice :thumbsup:
Sharp looking car. Me likey :thumbsup:
Tasteful and a sensible size :thumbsup:
Very nice!:thumbsup: The wheels look great!! I agree with the other comments about the exhaust/tailpipes/tips.

In case you're interested in 3" factory style tips when you do the exhaust upgrade.

Hey Dave!
The wheels look awesome on the Chevelle. Can't wait to see it in person this summer........if summer ever gets here. :D
Looks great, but I've gotta agree with too much black. Needs to be broken up, whether it's chrome TT2's or ww moldings or what. Beautiful car otherwise...
