I still have these, and if I pick it up, they mount right up... Tires are not too aggressive, 255/45/17, but they have mint tread.

Eventually, I would love to find another Impala coupe in that bodystyle and switch the 454 over.

In all honesty, I'm buying the car for the motor and to commute with...

But in the larger scale, I want another coupe and having the motor is a bonus!

i dont like it either but like the idea of the big block. I never really like those 80s cars. Camaro, monte and GN being a couple exceptions.

I don't have a long commute, so it's not a major concern right now. If it gets bad enough, then I will look into buying something with a smaller engine/lighter body... but right now, it'll do!

I love gas prices rising, almost as much as you do.

Factory rear end, and it is fully deadened. Car SOUNDS like it was built right, but you never really know until you get a chance to tear it down and look into it.

its gonna need it

and although its a factory rear end, smaller motored cars/trucks have lower gears to help make up for the lack of power. My 4cyl s10 had 4.10s lol

your coupe was beautiful, big wheels aint everyone steez lol, but something about your sedan looks RIGHT

I would definately take off those gay *** lights man, cmon

 

[Ellsworthz 10+ year member]

those wheels look great, you should stretch the lip and fit a 315 on the back, Mickey Thompson street radials = sexx

nice looking car, looks pretty heavy though.

 

[Loud3 10+ year member]

A 315 would require a lot of work and I don't think it would necessary look appropriate on a sedan. Now, if I was going to pro-street it, and tub the rear end, then maybe. I like the 255's just fine.

I'm looking to keep it 'stock'ish from the outside.

Yes, the car is a boat. Eventually, the motor will be pulled and put into either a coupe or maybe even a malibu? Who knows.
