Andy,

Are those 8" wheels?

What is the actual width of the tire on the wheel?

Mrs Andy lets you have racing wheels in the living room...with rocks embeddedinto them...?

Geil! Passt das unter deinen Kottflugeln?

good old 7" cookie cutters, tires are supposed to be 9" but they measure more like 10" ...
this is how they're supposed to be mounted, they come with ultra-stiff U-shaped sidewalls ...

ja, ziemlich knapp, aber mit den richtigen distanzscheiben und langen bolzen, kein problem!

Andy

yeah, but i have to change the offset of my spacers as my current street tires are nowhere near as wide.
got 100mm studs for the rear and 75mm studs for the front plus a whole box of different size spacers to play with ...

Those look fun! I hope your tub is reinforced in the key spots in case these things generate the g's that they look capable of.

I would like to try slicks on my car sometime but I think only Avon makes a size that would squeeze under my stock (but pulled & rolled rear) body.

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 09:31 PM

that is actually the reason why i'm not going to make it to this weekends AX ...

i *need* my new trailing arms for this, the old ones i have now are bend and i have about 1" of alignment shims on each side to get a decent camber ...

my concern with those tires is that i'm not going to have enough thread left on the mounting bolts for the amount of cornering forces.
the new trailing arms are at the powedercoater, so we'll see how much longer that takes, but probably not fast enough to make it this weekend ...

What size studs and spacers are you putting on them???

I think my car has like 3in studs (ie huge....) Coupled with steel lug nuts, I should be able to mount as big a spacer as one could put on them.....

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 09:48 PM

to quote myself:


don't know yet what size spacers i will need, that's why i got the long studs, so i will have enough room to play with ...

Oh fine, geez..

Make me look like the stupid teenager that I am....

Posted by: trekkor Sep 6 2004, 09:54 PM

Can't you run those street tires one more time?

Sir Andy, your presence is requested at Alameda.

KT

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 09:54 PM

haha, sorry dude, but i think you can handle that just fine without my help ...

Andy

Posted by: Aaron Cox Sep 6 2004, 09:54 PM

geez,

what a stupid teenager

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 09:55 PM

can you trailer my car home if i blow up my tires ???

Andy

Posted by: trekkor Sep 6 2004, 10:01 PM

Why, yes I suppose I could.

Are you runnin' on baldies?

KT

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 10:12 PM

yupp, the street tires are down to nothing ...

Andy

Posted by: Andyrew Sep 6 2004, 10:14 PM

Well, that was fast!

I could have sworn it wasnt a while ago when they where newish! Although... I havent put more than 300 miles on my tires... so I should be talking... lol

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 10:19 PM

let's see, i bought them summer of 2001, that makes them 3 years old.
don't know how many miles total plus some 8 AX venues or so.

i think they have the right to be bald!

So, what will you run on the street cookies?

I say run Falken's

KT

Posted by: SirAndy Sep 6 2004, 10:27 PM

i'm thinking about going 8 x 16 with 245/45 tires all around. got a very good deal on a set of rims ...
