Hey Mike (MAF),

I just put a brand new set of 225/50-16 Hankook Z214 Soft compound DOT slicks on. Rims are all 8" Ronals, and there are 3/4" spacers on the rear.

Turning the car is HARD! But it is only an AX car, so it is typically in 2nd or 3rd all the time after starting.

These tires are so sticky that it is double tough now to turn at low revs in 2nd.

But, that's why I went to slicks. The car sticks like paint.

No pics of the slicks yet.

Soon!

John

8.5 and 10X18 with 245/40's and 275/40's but I'm now running 225/40's and 285/30's which work alot better, the others were too tall. I like the 18's but I want a different deep offset wheel so I don't have to run such big ( 2.5" and 3") spacers. They're just too big and heavy and although I've beat on the car for several years without anything breaking or coming loose,
I just don't trust them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)





I really like these wheels. what are they?

We need a Like button!

I'm back, I spent 2 1/2 years with Ringling Brothers then spent a little over two years traveling Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand with Walking With Dinosaurs. I'm trying to get a regular gig that allows me time to work on whitey.

Metal GT flares, 17" Rota replica Fuchs. 17x9 rears with Hancock 255/40/17's. Fit with no problems rubbing inside or outside. 17x7.5 up front with Hancock 225/45/17's. Love the look of them. Just need to paint my quarters for it to really look kick ass

17x7.5, 35mm offset fronts on 205/50/17's with 1 1/2" spacers,
17x9, 18mm offset rears on 255/40/17 with 12mm spacers.

I need to bring the fronts in a hair as the rub a little when you go into a driveway sideways without slowing down enough.

Thinking about blacking out the centers...

Jimmy Mc's Mini Fuchs. 1x2's, they rub in the rear when driven hard. I'll put in a smaller spacer.

It's nice to have a car with center locks.
