Preparations for big huge....

....wheels. So I bought some Weld S71s from Neema. 18x11.5 and 18x12. So I need camber plates bump stop relocations and adjustable pan hard bar. Finally got everything in. So here’s a look at what it will look like.

oooh.. Looks like you need to raise the car a tad... are those the 320/660-18 P2000 Conti rim savers??

Nice wheels! they would be really great with some 315 hoosiers, right away the car will be 2 seconds faster.

That's what I was thinking.........tires look awful close to the fender openings...I'm sure He's not thru with his adjustments................

The best thing about the Contis is that the yellow label on the tire match's the car

My Conti's look great on my Boss, but they're all seasons, not racing tires, which suits me just fine!

I think it’s the angle of the picture, it certainly wont be that close when they are completely mounted up. Continental 305 660s I think. Since my car is mostly street driven I’m going to have to mount up some different tires.

Which tires are you running??

Best of luck with the new shoes................

The brand on my Conti's is "Extreme Contact" and I have them in OEM sizes...Front and Back..................

 

[Mad Hatter]

The Conti slicks are a great practice tire and are for sale for as low as US$95... But the performance is less then a Semislick like the Nt01 etc. At 95 Bucks its still a steal!

Not meaning too cast dispersion's!!

The tires may let you know in a hurry.....

Following!

So I got the Vorshlag camber plates installed. My only hope is that I got the top nut on tight enough...took me some time, but it was fairly straight forward.

 

[rlgdestroyu]

I think that I need a lower spring....

Test fit the rear wheels today. Still need to remove the rear bump-stop and trim the shock cover , and adjust the pan hard bar to center everything up. I’m very happy with this setup so far. Can’t wait to run it around in anger.

I'd suspect you are going to see some rubbing on the inner fender or outer? Those are huge for these cars, lol. I'd imagine you will need to roll fenders from what I've heard, looking forward to seeing what it takes to make it work. On another note, this is probably the best looking wheel / tire combo I have seen! Love it.

I know guys run 305’s without rubbing....I’m really hoping it works. Thanks for the kind words! I think it looks great myself.
