Huba Huba!!

Them looks good....

Put em on and try em out!!!

You gona paint em? Or leav em?

Either way they'll look cool.. (just dont go black inside silver outside.. )

Andy,

Are those 8" wheels?

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

Paul

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

Geil! Passt das unter deinen Kottflugeln?

Nice! Those should fill out the wheel wells.

KT

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 ...

Andy

lookin GOOD!

well, we don't call her Lizard Bitch for nothing ...

as long as i don't stack them up in the bedroom, i'll be fine.
besides, our living room is 2000 sf ...

Andy

He runs black cookies now...or did you know that?

KT

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 ...

Andy

ein bier bitte.

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.

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 ...

<_< Andy

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.....

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 ...

Andy

Oh fine, geez..

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

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

Sir Andy, your presence is requested at Alameda.

KT

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

Andy

geez,

what a stupid teenager

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

Andy

Why, yes I suppose I could.

Are you runnin' on baldies?

KT

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

Andy

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

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!
Andy

So, what will you run on the street cookies?

I say run Falken's

KT

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

Andy
