what tyre size?

what tyre size?

195/50/15 front

205/50/15 Rear

I can fit 205s in the front if I lift the car about 1/2", which I don't want to do. The fenders are rolled as well.

I can fit 215s in the rear and may in the future, but they are hard to find. I have not tried 225s and will do some calcs in a few weeks to see if that works too.

does anyone have info on these wheels??

[LarryS]

No info on the wheels, but it sure is pretty.

That is a computer rendering, so I'm sure those don't exist. Other renderings look like they are larger stock steelies.

I'm in....

Coils in the front with the rabbit conversion, rear TEP race coil no pads. Wheels are 13x6 Panasports. I forget the offset and there is a 12mm spacer on the front. Tires for the track setup are 225-45-13 Hoosier all the way around. I'm working on a set of 3 piece Weds, 15x7... Gotta resize some pics for this post

I researched the stance thread over the years when making decisions about the rebuild on my 68 2002 and wanted to report back.

68 2002

- 2 dot rear spring pads

- IE Stage I springs (all coils, front & rear)

- Bilstein HD front & rear

- 19mm swaybar front, stock rear

- 5x13 wheels - 185/70/13 tires

The stance is exactly what I was looking for:, obviously lowered but doesn't look too low in the back. Ride is more firm than stock but pleasant for general use. Handles nicely and doesn't jar your fiddly bits.

Looks great. This is the setup I am getting with possible changes in the swaybars. I don't want an "all show, no go" (cornering, bumps) car.

a taste of things to come... 16x8.5 et13 bbs rz's; 215/40/16 kumho ast's

HOLY SH*T!

please detail the amount of fender/suspension work you do & the tyre size you used please!!

[kronus]

the tire size is in his post...

anyway, 8.5" et13 should fit just fine under something like turbo flares with tires of the right profile. I'm fitting 15x8.5 et12 with broad-shouldered 205s under trimmed IE flares with no rubbing issues.

[heyitzsushiboi]

suspension plans are:

-rabbit metal flares

-ground control coils, rabbit strut inserts, and shorted front struts

-cut rear springs

-suspension techinques full front/rear sway bar set

-polyurethane bushings

-front/rear strut tower bars with a trunk-mounted battery

-most likely need to source a skid plate to protect the oil pan haha

awesome!
