I think I personally would go with the package deal that way when they arrive you can just go ahead and slap those bad boys on instead of worrying about driving to a shop with all 4 wheels, get tires have them mounted, then drive home with all four of your stock wheels/tires in the car.

For stripe installs usually your best bet (other than a customs shop) is a well trusted body repair shop.

well I found the factory reproductions guy (dougfr) on the forms and for the ZL1 gloss black replicas for the 20x9 he has deals for them to put tires on it also. here's a paste of it:
20x9 +27 Painted or Machine/Black – $799.00
275/40R20 Nexen N FERA RU5 106W UTQG 500 A A – $1588.00
275/40R20 Hankook Ventus RH06 106W UTQG 420 A A - $1684.00
275/40R20 Falken FK-453CC 106Y UTQG 300 AA A - $1785.00
275/40R20 Vredestein ULTRAC Sessanta 106 UTQG 280 AA A – $2025.00
245/45R20, 275/40R20 Hankook Ventus V12 EVO K110 103Y UTQG 280 AA A 1868.00
245/45R20, 275/40R20 Nitto INVO 106W UTQG 260 AA A – $1934.00
245/45R20, 275/40R20 Vredestein ULTRAC Sessanta 106 UTQG 280 AA A – $1977.00

now I have to figure out which tire is a good all around tire for all seasons.

[PoorMansCamaro]

that's what we want to get as well. we'll probably go with some good sticky drag radials since jewel isn't a daily driver.

Based on your previous posts, I think you want the FR ZL1 replicas. If true, I got a much better price going through my local discount tire. Granted I used my stock tires but it never hurts to ask. For my 20X9 square set up I ended up paying 1K installed.

Usually I would agree, but it's also a good idea looking for a place that does vinyl wraps.

Yea that's why I said granted lol. But I have been thinking of doing Michelin Pilot Super Sports when it comes time for tires.

I would have to do 275/35 so they would be a shorter tire, which will change my final drive ratio. But boy those are some good tires. I could give a crap about the mile rating of the tire as they would dry rot before then

What year is your Chevelle? I have a 72 I've been slowly working on for the past couple years.
