I got Wheels! - Lateral-g Forums

I got the wheels the other day. Boze forged, "mesh". WOW these things are nice, the pics do them no justice at all. It's getting close to going to body work and paint, hopefully by the end of next week. The tires on the wheels are not what I'm using, I'm going with Michelin Pilots 345/30-19 rear and 235/40-18 front. I just test fitted that rear tire tonight on the rim and it fits perfect. I liked the tread pattern way better on those rather than the supercars. Got the oil tank today from Rick's, looks great. Hopefully have some more updated pics with that mounted as well as a few other things soon. Stay tuned.

Very nice. How did you fit the 345s?

Looks killer Jeff, keep us updated

Dang and I thought my 255/35's looked skinny on the front. Why would you put a tire as wide as a 345/30 on the rear and then put a front runner like a 235 on the front?? On a more positive note, those wheels look killer

Jeff looks great! What subframe are you using?

Those wheels look great, Jeff. They make the ZO6 calipers look absolutely massive.

Actually, I am using 255/35-18's up front. They are pretty much the biggest I can go up front. As for fitting the 345's, the car has dse mini tubs and quadra-link and they fit beautiful, good room all around. The front subframe is an original with dse coilover conversion and BRP front mount rack w/ speedway front swaybar. The car will sit a little lower than in the pics, I'm hoping to get it down below the edge of the rim. Although the headers are tucked up pretty tight, they will be my limiting factor as to how low I can get it. I wasn't planning on doing a cage, but after seeing Stielow's car I changed my mind. Just a simple 6 pt, like his, with removable rear cross bar. Can't wait to get it out of the fab shop and get started on the body work, should be by the end of the month. Post more pics that are worth checking out when I get some, see ya.

Looks great, Jeff.

Do you have any bumpsteer data on the BRP rack?

Wheels look killer! What color is the car going to be?

I'll bet you run into steering issues first. Running the car that low with a 255 in front. The tire will rub on the front edge of the inner fender well "unless you've clearanced them".
