You can have them for $300, look for dodge magnum wheels, they are stock 17"s with 5x4.5" bolt pattern. Also dodge nitros came stock with 17s 5x4.5" bolt pattern. Or you can always buy some steelies.

Decided on grooving them instead...


So I need some opinions on what way to go about it from this tire pattern.

I think that'll work well. Make sure you get a 12 pack of beer before you do it. Shit is a bit tedious lol.

I would suggest grooving the red out first. and then see how you're looking and figure out what you want to do with the tread blocks. :beer:

Well shit, if the gears are okay, I'd take that as not a bad deal considering your front end locked up...

Damn Stables thats a bummer, the 8.8 is something I would have thought you would never have trouble with especially on 35s.
