MC, can't help but notice how far the wheels stick out (both front and rear), reminds of that rollerskate phad that was going on a couple years ago. Do you plan to flare your fenders out to cover the wheels, or did you just throw those on there for a kick?

The wheels were originally meant for the much beefier Fiero Redux, which has a flared front and rear.

I think he is giving these a run on #15 to see if they will work on it, or if he will have to go with something else.

You knoooooow Curly is not going bone stock with the body so there will definatly be some body modifications whichever wheels he decides to go with.

They are 19's front and 20's rear.

DUB 101:
I was testing the 88 for clearance issues prior to body modifications. As Songman and I concluded, the 255/30/19 did fit w/o any rubbing in both directions. A old archive thread demonstrated it on Songman's 88 that the 255's cleared the rear's but I wasn't for sure about the fronts. Due to the weather, I had no choice but to drive it in the rain! PZeros are not a all-out rain tire vs. the Toyos on #11.

Power sterring issues? None. Using the 255's? Much better vs. 215's.

As was stated by Exoticse, #15 will be beefier and lower in the front.

I just filled up Premium Unleaded 93 Octane for $1.859 I suppose it pays to live near the refineries

And thats Bakersfield's prices! In the Bay Area it's much higher. Premium is $2.79 in certain places. In #15 i have no choice but to use premium fuel. The 300 N* somehow likes the higher octane. Outside CA, I can use mid-grade w/o any problems. I think it has something to do with the additives in CA fuels?

While going to the SEMA show, I seen premium around $3.09!

Sell it on Ebay@!!!!!

Nice car by the way. With the 300hp N* can you have duel exhaust tips?

I just looked back and noticed only one tip. Is there a reason you can't have it, even though the original car the engine was from had duel tips? CA nazi's can kiss my SS.

Thanks. Your correct. It's because the N* only comes with a single cat and not two. D1S uses a two cat system for better flow and for a uniform look. Although two may be better than one, CA Reps allow only one. For CA owners, D1S lets their customers use a single cat until it passes and then they send it back or to the next guy up for tags.
