thats alot of wheels.....

I have to put my snows on too... i think Im gonna do what you did and raise the suspension up a bit. I was thinking of swapping the stock susp. back in, but raising it will be easier. How High did you raise it to.,..about 14, 14.5 in front? 14in rear?

I think I'm about 14.25 front, 13.75 rear-- raised it 3/4 of an inch. Too much work to put the stock suspension back in

What a selection! What do you think of the Dinan wheel/tire combo?
Is it 265/275 or 275/285?

depends what brand of tire-- some let your run 265/275 and some let you run 275/285. Dinan will tell you about each brand of tire when you call.

That said, I think I'm going to sell the dinan wheels. Not because of anything actually wrong with the wheels (forged, let you run huge tires up front, let's you clear the bbk without spacers, and only 20lbs each)... I just don't think I can have Dinan products on my car :nixweiss:

I don't like dinan as a company or the idea of them.

Probably ~3500 + shipping if not local. They look BRAND NEW-- not a single mark of any sort on them.
