I'm CLOSE. As the pic shows, I'll have to do some rolling/shaving/cutting to make this work perfect. I like the look of the meats on the back - but should I just drop to a 265 or 255 to keep from having to hack up the car?
I jacked up the front to make it squat, but this is where it'll sit with the coilovers.. Opinions?? |
roll zie fenders!!
|
go skinnier, and sell me your wheels!
|
Those wheels are too sexy for your car, I'll be more than glad to take them off your hands.
|
Here's my suggestion. If you go too much narrower, you'll have to get wheels anyway, so why not start by finding wheels that will let you use the width you want. I have 285/30/18s all around, no cutting on the fenders, just a minor tweak, with no rubbing at all. CCW 18x10, don't remember the exact offset, but I know that you need coilovers to get them on there.

i know several people running 275's up front..... it'll build your forearm strenght up a bit if you are running without PS.

[snapback]685400[/snapback] [/quote] nice i'm going to hopefully be running the same wheel/tire setup this summer.. |
roll the fenders..... even if you go with skinnier tires, from what i see in the pictures, you'll still be rubbing

[snapback]685400[/snapback] [/quote] I'm kind of confused with regard to your first sentance.. If I go too much narrower I'll need to get wheels anyway? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif But I have wheels? I found the rare wheels I wanted- and knew ahead of time the offset wasn't perfect; I new the 275s would be a little tight in the rear.. just curious of peoples opinions on rolling the fenders.. not advice on a wheel/tire combo. But, thanks- I'll remember that next time. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png When the time comes to buy wheels for a specific purpose (like road racing) I already know what I need.. This is for looks - not purpose. I drive the car on the street - well, when it runs.. |
