New Shoes for the Mercwhip

Hello to all in the forum. I finally selected some shoes for the Mercwhip. I decided on the Savini SV8s. I liked the way they look and I haven't seen many of them out there. The ride is good. High quality wheel.

Looks real clean! Love that lip. What size tires you running in the rear? Thanks for the kind words on my page.

Thanks for the reply. The front tire size is 255/30 in the front. 295/25 in the rear. I was going to go with 305/25 in the rear but Michelins seem to run a little wide compared to the pirelli. I wanted that stretched over the wheel look.
