The Van has new wheels!

Just figured I'd give everyone a look at my van with its' new wheel and tire package. The wheels are 17" American Racing Torq Thrust II's wrapped in 235/60 Nexen tires, the tires themselves are an off-brand but they work decently so far - they run smooth and quiet.

I plan to lower the van slightly, mainly in the back. At the front, I may drop it by an inch or so. I'm not planning to "slam" it since I do want some ground clearance. It's obviously not an offroader, but I do like to go out along some dirt roads in the desert.

Mustang rims on a chevy van. Nice

[checkwithsterling]

The Van looks great. For what it's worth I left my van a litle higher in the back. I do a lot of frewway driving here in So Calif and it makes a remarkable difference in the way the van handles. It is basically a big box that I'm shovin' down the freeway and the higher rear end gives it a more of a wedge effect and seems more aerodynamic.

That looks boss. I hope to find some rims for my car someday. I got some for my moms van, thier kinda on the cheap but they look way better than the stock ones.

you know when i hear that someone drives a van the soccer mom comes to mind, but your van totally isnt what your average soccer mom would drive! nice rims, they look nice!

Torq Thrusts are always a good choice for the older American cars (and vans!). It looks really good, matches the body well.

I think the grey goes very well with the black!
