Looks good!

I wish the lip was bigger. The lip on the FR's is definitely bigger, which was cool, but I liked the look of the 10th's better so thats what I went with.

Looks good. I think it would be a hella lot better lowered tho. Looks like the rear wheels poke out a lil bit & the tire is stretched. Do they rub or is just the picture?

No rub. The Bilsteins prevent that. Its is lowered on the C springs. I could have lowered it more but I don't like slammed coupes. It would feel like I'm driving a Honda Del Sol.

Yeah im running the whole housing with SN95 axles and discs. I actually thought it would stick out alot but luckily these rims are 10" and not 10.5. So they line right up with the 1/4 panel lip. If I want to bring it in more in the future they have a kit online that can bring it in .75 i think. Your gonna run the Ranger axles so yours will be sitting inside nicely.

You Dont have rubbing isues in the front with the 255s Though? I was Told anything bigger then the 245s and id have issues... But Gorgeous Notch Man your paint looks a lot better than mine... P.S. What kinda Tires you Running and How do you like them? I gotta Get New tires all around and right now im looking at the Falken FK452s Does anyone have any experience with these?

---

I'm not going to lie. If I crank the wheel all the way it rubs a little on the fender liner. I'm running TOYO's all around. I think it's a solid tire. But all I here is good stuff about Falken's. Put a pic of your coupe up!

Shits lookin clean T. I don't think these guys realize that you already said we put motorsport C springs on it. We were afraid the tires were gonna be too wide and rub so we didn't want to drop it as drastic. The front do look like it could come down some more but then you'd have that hillbilly rake.

Here's your wheels on my SVO on Eibach Sportlines.

Keep going back&forth on whether or not I like them... But on the SVO they look GREAT

Are they from LRS or ebay?

Posted by turbizzy (Member # 5620) on :
 
well those are 87CHPs wheels, we just tried em my SVO that day to see if the tires would rub. On my svo they hell rubbed in the back whenever i went over bumps, my svo is just too slammed with the stock rear lincoln diff.

Those rims are solid on the SVO.
