Also, what tire sizes does everyone recommend? I'd like a little more meat in back and my fenders are rolled. Thanks again!

I just got a set also.
Can I get a pic of your set up? I was thinking of going 245/45/16 in the front and 255/50/16 in the back. What sizes are you guys running?

i run 16x8s 4"BS with 235/55 16 and 255/50 16 MT radial
have seen them fetch 1200-1500 (mint restored) but then again 4 front GTA's in same condition can get that much with the right bidders

your initial post made me assume you dont have aset of these
now your asking about a tire (295s) if you dont have them good luck finding a set , these arent available except used , gbodyparts had managed to get a hold of some used and then restored them and sold them on ebay
