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.

this cant be right.... 285s on the fronts...

wonder what steerin must be like with those on....

 

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

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

I'm kind of confused with regard to your first sentance.. If I go too much narrower I'll need to get wheels anyway? 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. 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..
