Well after 4 months of waiting, my 18"s finally came in. They do stick out a little bit . I guess I'll have to do something about that.








Some other random engines I have in the garage , 1.8L turbo BPZE for my escort, and a 1.6L B6 for one of the miata's.

What width are those rear wheels???

Are those 245s for the front? How wide you going on the back???
Custom2M4 MAR 18, 08:36 PM
The rears are 18x8 with a 25mm Offset, 245/40R18's are for the rear. 225/45R17 up front.

I don't know how crazy I'm going to get on the 87's body yet. I want to see the tires mounted first. If this car gets a serious widebody, I'll do the bump steer conversion with a 4" widetrack, widen the rims 3" and run 315's. But for right now it'll look great as is. My main concentration is to get everything working 100%, finish the interior and get it safetied.

As they say.... Face down, Ass Up, thats the way we like to %$#&






Ahh those brakes are starting to annoy me!

fiero is coming along nice. liking the wheel set up!!
the reinforcement you put in on either side, is that not going to get in the way of any part of the northstar?

You need to do flares for 245s in the rear? With the right offset wheel you shouldn't have any issues fitting those under the stock body.

Thanks for the kind words! I'll be running the intake pipe through those panels, so I'll have to alter them for various things when everything gets installed. I want to keep it pretty clean though.

Do the sterring wheels come in different shapes and color combinations, like in a "D"-shape with red/black colors?

No, sorry curly. That steering wheel is only available in that color. It's a replacement 78-82 Corvette wheel *6 bolt*. It was actually kind of a pain matching up a hub / horn that actually fit the wheel. But luckily it was all available to me.
