tires and wheels "The Stance Thread"

[Colin]

This was more stretch than I wanted but I will run it. I mounted these myself but on the second one, after I lit the lighter fluid inside, one side popped off the bead so now I have to take it in to get it broken off before I try again.

13x7 "Shaahin" covered with 185/60/13

Do you have any more info on the suspension on this?! Cut springs? Coilovers? And are you sure those are 185/60, side wall looks a little skinny to me

[CubbyChowder]

Colin, I love your wheels. What are they? Specs? They look similar to Stance Mindset wheels, which I had on my old car and even considered getting them for my 2002.

[GreenSwede]

- IE front coilovers and camber plates

with cut struts and rabbit inserts

- Stage 2 IE cut rear springs with 2 dot pads

- 205/60/13 tires

- Borrani 13x6.5 ET 6 wheels

- Rolled and pulled fenders

It´s beautiful!

What are those seats? OMP? Cobra? Got better pictures?

I´ve got at pair of Cobras that seems similar, but they´re sitting in their boxes still..

updated Stance: dropped the front from 39 to 45 almost maxed out. this is the lowest i can go and drive on a daily.

I saw you driving down Washington Blvd. around 1pm this afternoon. I was going to pick up my daughter from school. Your car looks great!

Not happy with the ride height in the back. Just ordered the adjusters and rear springs. I have like three threads left in the front, but I do not think my spoiler or shocks will last if I go any lower. Comteplating selling the wheels and getting some 15s epsilons. I have a real problem, I get bored real quickly.

Email me if you decide to sell them Pat.

Otherwise your car looks great.

Some great looking rides in here. Question for you guys. Just wondering how much more offset you guys are running or can run when going to coil overs? Wanted to go 17's on my 72 but looks like with the wheels I like in a correct offset I would have better luck with some 16's. So Im going pretty low with coil overs and dont mind rolling the fenders, do you think I can fit these 16x8 with 20mm offset? Thanks!

I am running 16x7 ET25 right now and I can tell you that things are CLOSE. I am pessimistic that ET20 16x8 would clear even under rolled and pulled fenders (mine are both).

Any pics? Hows clearance by the strut? Are you running coil overs? I know I just need to get my suspension done and do some measuring but would like to a have a general game plan. Thanks!

My project blog shows you everything you need to know.

I have bent struts so strut to wheel clearance is TIGHT as in I had to grind some stuff down on the perch to get it to clear. It is about a testicle hair's width.

With an unbent strut clearance is a touch better.

Just got her suspension put together.
