Saw samuel jackson today, he said ey muthuf@cku, with them new wheels thats a bad mutherf@cku muthuf@cku!
I agree
slammed, front tires on the framerails
Front fit is perfect, rear is 1" inside the body. I want it flush for the widebody look, not the airbag it to the ground look(but still wanting that option lol)
Need to clean up that wheelwell opening too
Those wheels were a long long long hunt for something that would fit that wouldnt cost $1k per wheel, that fit the look of the car
Got goodyear eagle f1 supercar 285/40/18 out back and goodyear(keepin it merican!) eagle sport 225/40/18 up front. Th front tires are a bit skinny for the wheel width, tire tapers outwards toward the wheel edge. I dont like it but it makes it not rub and the wheel be flush w the body. Just did the pass side, theyll be back on after paint
Bad friggin ass
back to sanding

Nobody likes me, there 6 people n 2 lurkers watching this thread! lol
I will offer the old wheels for sale eventually, at a price no one will likely buy. There was a set for sale in the mall a while back.
Might get some time this weekend to play w it, but im almost done modding my wetbike trailer. May install those engine senders for the gauges now that its cooling off.

Question is what is the size of the old rear rims. If they are 16”x11 then good luck finding rubber that is truly wide enough for them. I had the same problem and had to go to 17” Compomotive’s in the rear instead. [This message has been edited by ferrobi (edited 09-07-2019).]

Do people quit watching once it's in the Construction Zone? I know I don't check it every visit to the forum but do check three other forums pages.[This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 09-07-2019).]
