tires and wheels "The Stance Thread"

[dlhoovler]

OK, I'll bite.

14X5.5 BMW 2000CS steel rims and hubcaps. I don't know the offset. 185/65 rubber.

Stock springs with spacers removed and sagging a little, especially in the rear. OEM Boge struts and shocks. Urethane bushings up front and a 22mm front sway bar.

Fenders are unmodified, but I don't get rubbing at any time.

With 13X5 Opel Kadett steel rims (identical to early ti/tii steels except for valve-stem placement), 185/70 tires. No rubbing then either.

Sittin' too high on ST springs and Cris's 15" Rotas. 195/55's (I think, or 50's).

Cheers,

Ray

Nice Scout in Pic #1... I have a 76 II bicentenial edition, glass tub, 396 with 345 heads - Also just came upon a few early Scouts all with 4-spds and 4-pots.

Here's mine, well, hers actually.

Wheels:13x5 1/2, et13 turbines

Tires: 175/70

Suspension Techniques springs in the rear.

Stock springs in front with two coils cut out. (I have ST's for the fronts but waiting to do the struts at the same time.)

Front and rear lips rolled, fronts rub the rear of the fenderwell when turning.

OK, my $.02 ;-)

Tires: 205/40
Suspension: Front - Billy Sports, Eibach springs; Rear - Billy HDs, Eibach Springs; ST swaybars (lowered ~1.5")

I've had it lower, but raised it back to current height since it's a daily...

Stage 2? Dinan springs...rollin on BBS wheels..15x7, et25. Rubbed the struts in the front which is why the original owner put spacers on the front wheels. It also has a camber kit. I'll check up wheel size tomorrow. Bilstein sport struts and shocks.

Credits to M20 man for the following picture ;D

You can still find Scouts in MA??!! I would have thought they'd all have gone back to the earth over there.

And, how, exactly, do you just happen to come upon a "few"?? Were they someones collection?

Are those BBS RAs? If they are, I think the ET is closer to 30, right?

Bilstein HD's with stock springs. I think the car sits too high. Hopefully I will have lowering springs and fixed camber plates soon. Any body have some for sale?

Wow that car looks great without the spacers. How was the ride? Is that Menlo Atherton in the pic?

Thanks, Colin,

The ride on this car is exceptional! 70 mph and 3000rpm in 5th gear up and down I-280 to and from the City.

Handles great, too!

Yes, that's Menlo Park, just off Marsh Road, a stone's throw from Atherton.

That's too bad about the car. Its a great looking squarie. I love the combo of the silver with those wheels. Very nice.

I dated a girl for a year whose parents lived on Monroe (I think?) and the street looked just like that... white picket fences with gravel parking spaces and no sidewalks.
