Sexy, man those are skinny's for sure on the front. Who modified your wheels for you?

[cj7chris]

How much did you have trimmed off the front rims to fit that tire?

[Blk04MM]

How wide are the rear wheels

[Micahdogg]

That is tight!

[MMBLUE]

[CWright]

That looks awesome Landy! :beer:

[Shaijack]

Really looks great.

[Blk04MM]

Nice. Is that car street driven with the skinny tires up front like that?

[LANDY]

Yup, i took it for a drive last night after i installed stock springs and front runners.
It switches lanes @ 90mph with 22psi on rear tires like a breeze.
Play at your own risk tho.

[LANDY]

Thank you guys! I cant wait untill i hit the track. This car just scaled at 4256 lbs with me on it. Thats 134lbs less than the old setup.

Now that car's purpose is obvious!!

What do I tell Weldcraft about offset etc. to have them widen my stock rims to 305/45/18 and use the spacer?

[MOTOWN]

Looks very good LANDY! All ready for the track

Just tell them you want them widened to 9.5". They know what to do.

Bingo! Thanks! :beer:

It looks like you have completely blown the offset on the front, thereby drastically increasing the scrub radius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrub_radius). It's your car, you can do whatever you want.

When you hit the brakes and/or a pothole it's going to yank the steering wheel out of your hand with the leverage the tire has against the steering rack. Changing wheels, especially on the front, should be done with careful attention to offset.

The car feels great on bumps and while braking, i have no concern on parts wearing out since i have basically redone most of the car but the trans and will do it all over again. Now for safety i have a set of factory wheels i put on the car when i go on long trips.:beer:

A good idea.

I just wanted to point out to those who might not be aware there are serious consequences to changing the offset as you did.

True! This setup is not for everyone.

[2,4shofast]

Looks great! I like the center caps as well:beer:

[blkZooM]

That's it you made up my mind on the painting the wheels, can I ask what black you go with? got a shop that power coats about thirty minutes from me

[LANDY]

I just went with the house gloss black. Just make sure they have samples before you let them do the work.

[MMcactusflower]

Super look you have there...enjoy the blasts in your MM

[hotford]

looks killer........now go lay down some numbers.......lol

[GAMike]

Skinny yet meaty all on One fast sled:burnout:Gotta luv that:banana2:

Nice job Landy:beer:

[DOOM]

Very nice man! :coolman:

[na svt]

I like. Car's respond well to the reduction of unsprung mass. What brand tire is that on the front?

In the test below they reduced the ET by 1/10 in the 1/8 with only a 38lb weight loss. With a loss of over 100lbs of rotating mass the ET should be significantly affected in a good way.
