awesome pics man

 

I'm not normally one that would change the appearance of my car to much from stock. I love the sleeper look and that is the reason I bought the F. I will go to great lengths to change things that others barely notice, especially if it improves the car's performance. Your car just stands out and looks great. Certainly the best I've seen so far.

Did the large tires change the performance of the car for the better? I ask this because I noticed that the race F seemed to keep the stock tire size and just changed tire compounds.

In a standing start race, do you spin the rear tires or does it maintain traction?

Can you pass California emissions with your exhaust system?

Great looking car and thanks,

Loren

 

Bigger rear tires =more traction =better performance

 

Out of curiosity and im not sure if someone asked this already. But it looks as if the driver rear is more into neg. camber then the passenger. Or is it just the picture...

 

Lol up to a point. Put 355 tires on a 400hp car and see how much performance is reduced. Too heavy and too much tires aren't performance's best friends

 

Yes clean smooth roads ftw!

Yeah thats what I heard from what other people say lol

Thanks but I don't think there is a rake, might be from the angle of the picture lol

Thanks! If CalitriSC says I have a good looking car, I must be doing something right lol

Thanks!!

Wider tires on a heavy vehicle with lots of torque and short gearing helps in many ways. The CCS-R is a lighter vehicle with race compound tires, their 255's are more of a 275+ tire.

I haven't launched the car yet but I'm sure I can break traction. These are wider tires not drag radials lol.

I don't think I will pass without secondary cats but I have a smog check coming up soon so we'll see.

Thanks for the kind words!

Agreed

I raised the front so thats why the camber may have changed, I'm going to realign the car soon so I'll update on the camber. The rear is definitely less than -3 though.

FYI on a RWD car, I would propose more rear camber in all situations

Not going to lie, if I could put a 355 tire on a stock body and make it look good.. I probably would do it

 

One of the most aggressive looking F's on here. 2 from me! Makes me wanna sell my wheels & go for a different look.

 

thanks man.. didn't see your post until now lol

What wheels are those? I really like them and might want to check them out in a gun-metal and matte black perhaps. Thanks!!

Car is sick BTW!

 

I keep staring at pictures of the rear of your car and thinking, "Wow, this looks pretty freaking good."
Then I realize: our cars look the same from the rear (besides your wide stance).
Awesome F

 

Forgestar CF-5V. Thanks!

Haha, great minds think a like

 

 

Maybe I missed it in one of the earlier posts, but do you have exact wheel weights for your front and rear wheels?

 

No I don't. They are not that heavy considering how wide they are though.

 

Dude...that is friggin WIDE!!! Awesome set up...and looks mean as hell...thanks for sharing...

However, I have a question for u (or two)...thinking about going non-staggered and assuming the wheels clear the front brakes (should find that out this week) what am I looking at having to do (suspension, camber, etc...) to make this setup work:

Wheels = 19x9.5 +38 all four corners

Tires = 255/35/19 (ft) & 265/35 or 275/30 (rear)

Thanks for any guidance u can provide and we can PM if needed...
