El Camino project car

Nice stripe.

Now you'll know which way is forward.

I need new front tires. I got new DWS06 on the rear a few months ago. But now I'm looking at options and see the BFG Comp-2 A/S have good reviews and are $20 cheaper per tire. Will it look dumb having different tires front/rear?

Yes.

You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but about how much do you have invested in the El Camino so far?

[CaminoRacer]

The sidewalls almost look like Rivals.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Eh. Not feeling it.

[CaminoRacer]

Too much.

I haven't kept track so I'm not sure, but I think it's still under $19k. That's spread out over the 8 years I've owned it.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Anyway, the only tires that look like they belong on that car are BFG Radial T/A with white letters out. They are crap tires, though. I would go with Dunlops Direzzas.

You're still in the positive on it, I'm thinking.

That's not bad!!!

[CaminoRacer]

BFG's are ordered.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Radial T/A, the best tire because the letters are fucking white.

[CaminoRacer]

I sold my 15" wheels like 3 years ago.

Dude, how do you even drive without 15" wheels? 15 is the best size for wheels on anything and everything. Versa S has 15" wheels.

Hell, my Jeep had 15" wheels and 33" tires.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Yeah man. I'm riding on 15" wheels with 24" tires. It's all good.

[CaminoRacer]

18s with 25s. Purrfection.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Get out of town. You can't just drive around on three inch sidewalls and get away with it.

[CaminoRacer]

It's okay it's more like 3.7 inches

[CaminoRacer]

Tires got here a day early.

I took the old steering wheel off. New wheel has more dish to it, so I ordered a .5" adapter to replace the current 2" adapter.

[Eye of the Tiger]

I expect burnout pics/vids of old tires.

[CaminoRacer]

I'm only replacing the fronts.

[CaminoRacer]

I spy a slight problem.

[Soup DeVille]

If you put that on a turntable and play at 45 RPM, you can hear the sound of your wallet getting lighter.

[FoMoJo]

I spy a slight problem.

The wheel's missing?

[CaminoRacer]

The wheel's missing?

The top caliper bolt fell out. No clue how long it's been missing.

[RomanChariot]

The top caliper bolt fell out. No clue how long it's been missing.

It was just a spare anyway.

[FoMoJo]

Yell at the mechanic.

[SVT_Power]
