Wow
Wow Wow Big flares, big wheels Nice I noticed that most of these cars have big enjins in 'em, and can push those big tires - what about a pipsqueek 2056? Would you notice anything different in everyday driving with big wide rubbah? Or is it not worth worrying about? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

I've got almost 1/2" of room on this side but less than 1/4" to spare on the other side. I am running 225 - 50 - 16's on 8" rims. The flares are factory steel so I really don't want to roll the lip on them. These Toyo's are wider than the same size Goodyears they replaced. Next time I may shop around and see if I can find some 245's that will fit.
BTW - I really like these Toyo T1-S. I can't imagine that a few more millimeters is gonna feel much better. I doubt I will change brands unless I can be convinced something else will work as well. I'm not gonna give up preformance for a cosmetic improvement on some lesser 245's. Attached image(s)

QUOTE(scooter311 @ Dec 9 2004, 07:59 AM) I have flares and 7 inch cookies with 225/50s and they appear to sit way out, but still don't fill the space right (to me at least) and they're spaced out 1/4 inch. GT flares, 7" cookies with 225/50 tires and 1 1/2" spacers in the back ... the flare lip is shaved and i can't put a finger between the flare and the tire, but no rubbing.

Heya Andy, where did you get the spacers, and how much $$?
Ooo yeah, your spoiler - do tell, it doesn't hang over the trunk sides, therefore eliminating 'those unsightly scuff marks' on your quarterpanel tops, like the ones I have on mine, that I noticed shortly after my repaint.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I llike your car, que bello (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) |

QUOTE(scooter311 @ Dec 10 2004, 12:19 PM) Heya Andy, where did you get the spacers, and how much $$? i believe that was performance products ... they are the bolt on type (5 on 5, no adapters) and they come in different thickness. 1 1/2" works perfect in the rear for the 7" cookies. in the front, i used a 1" spacer (also bolt on) plus a 1/4" thin spacer, so 1 1/4" total in the front. i run 225/50 on 7" cookies all around. as for the spoiler, you said it already, cut in the middle and re-glassed. much nicer than the "hanging over the fender and scratch it up bad" types ...
