JMB, upload the pics from your 'puter to your "Personal Home Page" here(Look under "My Account"), then post a link to them. If you still need help, contact NORSKY(Jim), and he will help you out.

Vette(s): 2005 Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic Coupe --------------------- Sold 1974 T-top, 4 spd to BillKS

I've got 255/50R17's on 17X8 wheels and they ride fine. The only problem is if I turn the wheels too sharp, the tires rub slightly. I feel the 50s weren't too low a profile and the wider tires gave a better, more positive feel for the road. Don't think I would want 18" wheels, but the 17s aren't too big. Just my $.02.

Ready any time. From what I can see (as of this reply) JMB hasn't uploaded any image files to the Personal File Folder so can't do anything until there are image files to reference in the PFF or any other image hosting spot.

To see the syntax for posting images or links click on the Forum Codes link below the 'Post Reply' box and look in the 'Images and Links' section.

Norsky, I PM'd JMB to see what he wants to do. Hopefully we can get another member pic on the site. I told him to contact you, or I'd help as well if he needed it.

Louis:

I followed your instructions. Did you get my pictures.

Thanks for your help. Thanks also for other replies. I have tried to upload the pictures to my Personal File Folder, but it has not worked. I keep getting an error. The only one that seemed to have work was Louis suggested service.

I finally got the picture in. I had to install a photo editor in my computer. I got a couple of more shots that I will put in separately.
