2000 Grand Prix GTP- 2000 Trans Am WS6 M6
Just bought tires...
Sitting here at work and thought I'd spend some of my First-Time Homeowners Tax Credit. Bought new rear tires for Nymphadora and new tires all around for the GTP.
x2 335/35ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 @ $377 each = $754
x4 235/50R17 Yokohama S.Drive @ $118 each = $472
Shipping = $100
Grand Total = $1326
Mounting and Balancing those 335s is going to be a bitch as well.

No curtains, furniture, or new appliances... just tires. That is money well spent imo.

Why would it be a bitch to balance the 335's? Unless you are talking about using alot of wheel weights. Use tape weights if necessary.

They'll actually be mounted on a 13" wide wheel w/ 2" spacers. I was kinda skeptical when I bought them, because of how they would look. But at the price I paid for them, I couldn't pass up that deal to have unique wheels. Also, if I don't like how far they stick out, I'm not totally against a mini tub.
When I was trying to get my 275/40/17s mounted on my 9.5" ZR1s, I had a lot of tire shops (Mr. Tire for example) flat out tell me that their mechanics had no experience with wheels that big. They stated that they were not responsible if the wheels got damaged because they were aftermarket size (). Guess they're all used to Hondas and such.
We're actually pretty set on all of those things...house came with new appliances and curtains...furniture has been donated to use by our families...we now have 4 couches, three entertainment centers, 4 TVS, a dinning room table, etc. The thing we are missing the most is a king size bed...silly woman keeps rolling over and taking up the entire queen size bed. Anyone have an extra?

In this case, it really has NOTHING to do with it. 11" wide wheels NEVER properly fit a Camaro, but get the backspacing and offset just right and you can tuck them in a Trans Am. 12" wide? Not possible. It will stick out. LOTS of people have tried, none were successful. They stick out. 13" wide? IMPOSSIBLE without a mini-tub.
End of story.
