Front: Dan Gurney Wheels, Nankang 135's, 4 inch Narrowed Beam with no Shocks.

Rear: Dan Gurney Wheels, Falken 195/65/15's, 2 Notch drop in the rear.

Future plans are switching Wheels to the Sprint Star Style 8 Spokes, I get a lot of negative feedback on the Gurneys...

Anyone have 165s on 6" rim? I have tired to find pics but I thought someone on here might be running this setup.
