215/40?

Just taking a stab at it, curious as to how accurate I might be.

Since Cionide said "supastreched" I'll take a stab at 205/40.

Btw, thanks for the comments everyone!

I think you're right. I got 215/45 on my 8s right now and there's 0 stretch.
Maybe a 145/30? Hahahha

205/40-18 up front and 215/40-18 rear.

Shouldn't it be 205/45-18 and 215/45-18?

I guess our stabs at the size were correct. 50/50 at least, lol. I'd still go with your 145 idea, haha.

Fixed it above. 18's yes, but profile should come down to 40 for the larger diameter 18's. I was tired and had the 17 on my mind from the offset.

I have thought about removing it, but instead I went to other route and added black. I blacked out my mirror covers and turn signals so they would blend more into the black. So as of now, I'm keeping the tape on.

Thanks

Demon Eyes? What are they? Actually that is an older picture and I have already installed Anzo Blacked Out Headlights with Halos and V-LED turns. Again adding more to the Black/Red Theme.
