those look awesome steve!!! cant wait to see the BBK, and like cory said 1 more inch or so and it would look even better, roll them mo effin fenders


( oh and i looked i couldnt find it, sorry i didnt call u friday)

 

Thanks dave for the compliments and for looking for that! I used a rubber mallet in the rear to bend that inner fender lip up so it wouldn't cut the tire, but I am going to call around to see if any local shops roll fenders. I also need to see if someone can touch up a few spots where paint has chipped. I want to roll the rear fenders and not have to worry about rubbing again, but we will see. I have to make it driveable before that though, unless I through the stockies back on again and take it to a body shop.

 

Nice

 

u could drive it with the tires rubbing to the body shop, take everything out of the trunk and take the back seats out

 

Update: Fender rolling appointment set for Saturday. I will hopefully get them remounted back on the rears when its done as well. I will finally be able to post up pictures once that's done, woot!

 

looks sweet!! that is a lot of tire though, but it has a purpose so

 

Yes it is, and the design of the wheel doesn't help make it look bigger either. Thanks for the complement, hopefully when its all completed you all will enjoy it. I know seeing it in person it looked really good... but I am biased lol

 

Those tires are huge!! looks sick

 

I know! lol thanks! I love the look.

 

you have 255 all around ?
any rubbing issues with them ? 40 offset right ?

 

^^sig says +30^^

 

Thanks purple, yep I have +30 offset. Rubbing issues? Right now even after having the fenders rolled, I can't have anything heavy or anyone else in the car otherwise I will rub bad. With only me in the car, it rubs when I am running it hard or hit some steep bumps. Not horrible, but bad enough that it needs more adjusting. I have contacted HKS about some springs with a higher spring rate for the rear, so we will see how that goes! I will get them re-valved if necessary.

Here you all go! It is not near complete, still have to roll/pull/hit/bend the rear fenders out more and adjust the suspension again, etc etc. Just got some tint as well. 20% all around.















I know it still needs work, I need to push the fronts out a bit more, roll the rear fenders, tire shine, and drop the rear a little bit, but what do you think??

 

Looks good, love the 20% tint that is what i have. I think it is the perfect darkness. I wish they offered better center caps for those rims, I might have saved and got them.

 

steve they look awesome! cant wait to see the BBK behind them

 

I cant wait to see some pictures with tire shine!

 

Thanks Dave! I can't either, wish I can get some oven time! lol I am very excited. I have some Motul 600 rbf that I will be using as well. Wish me luck :D

Also, I am thinking about powdercoating the wheels either Black Chrome or Gunmetal, thoughts?? I think it would make the wheels pop more, look bigger, and would give more contrast.

 

And a nice wash/wax lol...

 

i would say no to the gunmetal. black chrome would probably look good. i like it the way it is now, looks stealth-ish.

 

Ive always wanted the SBC RPF1's.... if you do black chrome I will love you. I want to see them on a tc, i think itd look so sick.

The setup looks so mean and meaty. Awesome. It will be 10x better with tireshine, so the black isnt broken up by the gray
