If you don't have any issue with rubbing leave them on, looks bad!!!!!

I'm not a fan of wagon wheels or rubber band tires, especially on older cars. I wouldn't say so usually, but you did ask....

personally heave, but it is up to you, don't be swayed by anyone else's opinion.

Re: give me some feedback
Don't worry about offending me, I put these on just to see if they'd fit and what it would look like. I'm more in the "heave" camp.

Nope, nope, nope. Toss 'em.

Re: give me some feedback
I was looking at your post again seeing what others thought & my wife walked in & saw the photo's & said oh what's that? I said a guy wants to know what people think of the wheels & she said leave them, it looks sharp. I don't think an EM would look good with them but the style of the LM makes them jump right out. I usually don't care for the thin tires but on that car they just seem to fit in. Keep them for a while and see what reactions you get from the public.

fat tires and fifteen inches is gospel (for most muscley cars)

Re: give me some feedback
Not fond of low profile tires, they ride rough. had a set on the wife's Mercedes and got rid of them. In my opinion heave them.

So now it's going painted , we started the teardown last night.
Btw, thanks for the feedback. The 18x7 fronts fit and look good to us, but the 20x9 rears are too big.

Re: give me some feedback
And I was worried about putting 17x9 in the rear
