got any pics of the wheel well modification that you got the car to get to the frame in the front?

Laydout430

Yeah it's called their cut completely out and I am waitingto put tubs in, but yes I'll get them posted up and some side shots of the wheel offset

V8_Aristo

Yes you can. If you notice, your wheels camber in the lower you go. So lower offset wheels might look it's sticking out when the car is up, but will tuck in when you lower the car.

V8 Aristo-thanks for the pics, what size or wheel combo are you running? offset?

V8_Aristo

Fronts are 19x9+3 with 225/35/19 and 19x10.5+17 with 245/35/19 for the rear. Those specs might or might not fit since I pulled my fenders a bit.

glad V8 Aristo was able to post up , he helped me out alot too back in 07

i take it instead of rolling the fender it would need to cut the fender lip? would i still beable to run 20's or do i need to go down to 19"s? thanks alot guys. I am new to the vip look in any car feild, always been into sport compacts and low riders, but very excited about going VIP and the clean look and style it posesses.

Diameter is really up to your preference. 18s, 19s or 20s, they will all work, but they do take different specs to achieve the same "flushness". Tire sizing (and brand) is also critical when it gets really close.

The rears work better if you cut it, it's really just too stiff to roll. I've never tried cutting the fronts since I believe that the sheet metal is too thin. I just rolled and pulled it, then smooth out the waves and dents before having it repainted.

ok-what type of info do i need to gather to figure out what size of rim and tire i need.

Well you can get an idea of what size wheels you like on the Gs , 18 19 or 20 and work from there.


these is alot of great info in the subsection. you just need to read some to understand.

add a body kit, window curtains, custom paint job, better looking wheels, and maybe a polished exhaust.
