Mohegan Sun Photos and What Is This Tire Config?

[Devicespy]

Hi:
Attached are some photos I took of the Meet and Greet at Mohegan Sun this past weekend.
Also, see the attached photo of the tires. Whoever owns that Sky with the tires, very nice. Can you tell me the configuration (tires, size, rims, etc.) I think it looks quite nice. How does it ride? Oh, I threw in a picture of a SuperBird for those who like some of the classics.
Thanks,
Bob

That would be me, Thanks .

They are same as stock 245 45 18 with a slightly more outward offset, but I am not sure of the number, the distributor just sent them to me. They are Foose Nitrous Rims. The ride is very similar to the stock wheels, they are both Eagle F1 just different models. These are #1 Summer Wet Rated tire on the market period. NOT FOR SNOW!

I do not drive in the rain but I understand there is a noticable difference.
These are the tires you see on a lot of upper model Vettes (Z06).

Probably just a typo but that last car is a superbee not a superbird. The superbird has an extremely large wing on the back.

The rears look much bigger than the fronts. Size?

Here is a picture of the rears which look larger than the fronts. Just wondering what the front tire sizes and the rear tire sizes are and the rim sizes.
Thanks a bunch.

It is an optical delusion, seriously they are all 245 45 18, no joke!

Those are the same tires I have on my RL. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 at Tire Rack= $217 each. These tires cure the squeal when turning corners fast. They are excellent tires.

You are correct. I can get a squeal on a turn, but usually my back end is comming around Sideways. I think a few people from the Mohegan Run may know what I mean!


They make the car look more aggressive also!

These are the tires that most folks are upgrading to for better all around performance and stickiness. They are considered much better performers than the OEM tires.-bird

Your car looks great and since I'm getting the same color and I like the rims a great deal. We could have sisters :-)
Where did you get your wheels and their configuration?
Thanks a bunch,
Bob

I got the rims by getting a dealer from Foose's Web Site:

What rim size do you order, since I don't have the car yet, not sure what rim sizes they take.

Just them you have a SKY and you are going with 245 45 18. Thats all you need. That and about $2700 with the rubber!

Take a look at the other Fooses. There are a couple of really nice ones!
