Spent 3 days trying to find someone to blow these bitches on. Finally went to Butler Tire.They have done this tire size vs. wheel width before, but the barrel design of the HRE's, make it a pain in the ass. So, tomorrow I'm going to an old school place to get them blown on. Using ether, blah blah blah. I just want to drive it again. Oh, and the sizes are, 225/45/17 going on a 17x10.5.



On a better note... I did get the car running 98%. It was an exciting journey.lol. But she doesn't have the james bond smoking issue, anymore. And it idles perfect now. Could use a few adjustments, but overall she's there. Next comes fixing all the body damage, including the fucked up fender and front bumper. When I get tires for the front, I will be taking the wheel to get fixed as well. She's getting there with lots of money and time.. lolol
