New Tires and Wheels
I bought a new set of rear tires for Ivy. I decided to try out a set of Nitto NT555R Extreme Drag Radials. The stock tires are 275/40/20 but I also decided to go with a little wider tire and ordered 305/35/20s. The 305s were a little wide for the stock 9 inch RS wheel, but would still work okay.

Well, it seems however that the shop damaged my rims when they removed my stock tires. The shop did admit the problem and was going to replace the damaged rims... well, after talking with them we decide to replace the stock RS wheels with some aftermarket wheels. Well, after looking at number of different wheels... and I finally decided to try out a set of BOSS 338 wheels. I was a bit hesitant about going with a black wheel... BUT much to my surprise the wheels looked absolutley FANTASTIC!! I just couldn't believe how great this turned out! And as a side benefit the BOSS wheels were 8.5 inches and 10 inches versus the 8 inch and 9 inch RS wheels... And with the 10 inch wheel the 305s fit perfect!
