What size wheels are on this car?
What other modds did he use to make this work without rubbing?
I think this car has 19" rims on it!!
Any help would be greatly excepted.....

WOW. too big IMO. did you check on SBO's board? if nothing else, ask Superman (who runs it and is on here often). he probably knows.

Not too big, just too big for how tall that car is :)

Do you have a super, or are you interested in something similar on a standard? (My project fake-oval is on 19's)

He needs much bigger brakes to get away with those large wheels... Kinda like a Civic with Dubs, just shows off the punny girlie man brakes!

I was going to say something about the brakes, but my finished brakes aren't done yet, so no room to talk (rears are 11" vented stratus front rotors with spirit R/T calipers, fronts are yet to be determined 13 or 14" rotors)

Hi

I took those photos a few years ago at classic car show in Sydney. I haven’t seen the guy around for a while, I’m pretty sure he just used smaller coils. I agree, it does need to come down a bit.

I’m building a new car, I had 17s on my old one but I’m thinking about going 18s on the new car but I don’t want to get the Tonka toy look that some cars get with too tall rims.

You guys say what you want, that car is very hot looking!! I would go 18's only if I could put 225 40 18's all the way around the car. The pot holes in this city are ruff!! :bawling: ;)
