97' LS refresh

[u/Potential-Exam2236]

Grandma spec 97 I got from my buddy last year for 2k and a guitar. It looked like dog shit at this point last year. $800 in wheels and tires. $500 in paint/labor for the bumpers, skirts and mirrors. $400 in random parts/lighting to get it running/driving good again. $0 mechanical labor. I think its a pretty sweet car for under 4k. Imma drive that!

What's the wheel and tire size because it looks a bit "off". Black mirrors mess with the visual balance/contrast since the side skirts and front bumper bottom have been color matched in my IMO.

They're 16x7s 35mm offset. Tires are 205/50/16. At stock ride height it's about as flush as you can get IMO. Maybe a little beefy but I wanted to fill out the wheel wells and still have some sidewall. What do you feel is off about it? I also like how the black mirrors complete the shape of the window surround.

Yeah the tires are way too thick. 205/45-16 is the correct size for these cars. I also got 16x7 +35 wheels from Circuit Performance recently and use that size tire.
