Standing by for pics of rear...

The Tire Rack recommended installer was not able to mount the rear tires & wheels, so I have to find another installer this next week.

The fronts did get mounted.





Archie

PICS of the rear will be on hold. The tire shop didn't have the equipment to mount the 345/25/20 on the rim. I'm looking for a shop near Archie that can mount large custom rims and tires. If anyone has info on a good tire shop in Chicago please let me or Archie know.

Yes, now I just need to find someone with one in house.

Thanks for the pics, when I first looked at this picture, I didn't even see any rubber on those front wheels.

Well for trucks they have just come out with some DOT compliant two piece bead lock wheels. That would make mounting the tires a LOT easier if you could get these in a two piece wheel.

Thanks to HRE, we found a shop in Chicago that can mount the wheels.

This makes me drool, now if only I could get archie to respond to my pm's. Sure he probably gets alot but still, I want to be a serious customer.

Trust me archie is not one to turn away business. He gets a zillion emails a day, and it takes time to weed thru them all, that and he may also be dealing with some personal matters that have taken priority.

Yep they fit. 20 x 12 with 345/25/20's

Totally amazing, its really looking like an true exotic, now how about some rear shots to see those fat tires! Also how about a side to side measurment to see how wide that sucker is.

Geez, the rears are so big.....they should have they're own zip code!

Whats the offset on those rims (front/rear)?

quote Originally posted by Archie: 75" wide, the tires are 13" wide. I took a couple of pics of the back & tires but the shadows make it kinda hard to see the tires. Archie

NOW you can see those fat rubber-bands!

quote Originally posted by troyboy: Yep they fit. 20 x 12 with 345/25/20's

That thing looks really bad a$$ but it is very close to start looking like something else other than a Fiero. Not that that is bad. The rear is definitely recognizable.
Now you will have to pardon me but those muffler tips needs to go. With that aggresive car look you need some nice impressive bigger tips. Those barely do it on a stock car.

What you see is just about it for the outside. All the major outside mods are done, just some tweaking left to do. I want it keep the fiero flavor but with a twist. Btw time to start thinking about colors lambo pearl orange or yellow. other color ideas and photo shops welcome, it's hard for me to picture colors on the car because I'm partially color blind.

Hey Archie or Troyboy. Would one of you guys post the address of the shop that installed the morbidly phat tires? It might be useful for those who live in the Chicago area to use their shop for installations? The first shop didn't have the "right" equipment, hehe.

Kodak moment? Hey Archie, did you take any pics of the rim/tire process?

Edit: FYI
For those who are enjoying Troyboy's rims, this was a very grueling process. Much time, energy, sweat, and anguish was utilized in having the rims mounted which, btw paves the way for easy-headache free mounting for anything beyond 20x11 tires in the Chicago IL area.

I posted this in the Perfect Union thread.

quote Well I drove into Chicago today just 7 blocks South of the City center to get Troy's 20x12" wheels fitted with the equally huge rubber he bought. You'll recall that we had a little bit of trouble previously getting thse units joined together. No problem this time. I took them to Lee's Foreign Car Service at 727 South Jefferson St., Chicago, IL 60607. I'm very impressed at how I was treated by everyone there. Let me tell you my story...... I drove around the block twice by the time I realized that there was no place I could park legally. So I stuck my truck into a drive right behind the company truck. I stepped inside & found my contact, Gabriel & he sent the tire expert out with me to unload my truck. By then another employee, returning from a test drive, was tooting for me to move the truck (I was blocking a drive to another building they have there). Anyway, he backed out into the street & I backed out & went around the block again while he pulled his car into the other lot. By the time I returned, this employee had moved the company truck a little forward so I'd have a place to park. I then hurried inside & asked Gabriel if I could take some pictures of the tires being mounted. He said "Sorry, they're already mounted & we're balancing them now" looking down at one of Troy's assemblies on the balancing machine. So I didn't get any pictures of the tire machine that mounted these babies. But it was a beauty, it made the one Curley showed in another thread look like an antique. Wow, What service!!!!! I'm gonna send everyone I know there. I want to give a shout out to: Gabriel Kenneth <~~~~ Rim & Tire Specialists & to the Manager Jerry Sang I'm really happy with the service I got today. Now, does anyone want to see what they look like on the car???? Archie

Food for Thought:

I tried out a pair of 17" rims (they came with the car) on #015 (13" Z06 brakes). Guess what? They don't clear. Depending upon the rim design make sure you have this in mind if you've haven't installed your 13" rotor/caliper brake package. Some 17's will clear and others won't.

WOW, thats all I can say. What does it have engine wise? by the way, why the double chin?

17" rims and 13" brakes not too good of a mix.





19" rims and 13" brakes are good.

Thanks Tony for posting pics.

UPDATE: A call from D1S.

Kevin wants to perform the 14/13 ZO6 combo on #020. I said, "Sure, why not."
