Goldie is getting new shoes

[Zymurgy]

After finally sorting out my brake issue, I have decided to install new wheels and tires. Based on other threads posted here I have bought American Racing V501 17 X 7 and installing 235 60 R17 tires.

I was able to install my old bullseye center cap after I clipped the legs off the old retaining cap. I will get the new tires mounted and Installed later this week.

If you clipped the legs, how does the cap stay in place?

It fits nearly perfectly down into the center. I guess in theory they could spin if the 2 bolts holding them in place loosened up, but I put thread lock on the bolts so I believe they will stay snug.

Every mopar I have seen these wheels on have had the bullseye center hub and I couldn't find them offered by American Racing. I am guessing I not the first one to figure this out.

Also I said legs but really just some short tabs, I was able to snap them off with my Klein side cut plier with little difficulty.

Nice. Super sharp lines with the fender skirts!

Wow! Those look great! What's it like to have an almost endless selection of tires?

Boy it sure beats having the choice of only 1.

Another bonus with this wheel/tire combination, my speedometer is perfect once again.
