Yup 18" rims look good.

Im kinda trying to find some BBS rims that I saw on a cover car for MM&FF...cant find the pics now, but the rims were badass. I'm gonna go with something other then ford replicas....although those saleens look pretty sweet.

If anyone has pics of non-ford rims...throw them up!

Mike

Most aftermarket k members will push the wheels about 1/2"-3/4" forward, but will actually make the wheels more centered in the wheelwell than stock. Lukes k member actually pushes the wheels forward more than that because he got the Griggs K member with the forward offset... I think that pic makes it appear to look more forward than it really is due to the angle & it looked like the wheel was turned to the right slightly...

Posted by Luke87GT (Member # 21) on :

Yup, that's 1.5" forward. Griggs does not F around, lol...

the white coupe with the bbs wheels does not look right at all. front wheels are way to close to the front part of the wheel well

Doubt he is going for looks with that K-Member, but its one of the best for road racing.

Lol unless you road raced it and wanted maximum cornering force [Wink]

But yes to each his own!

The forward offset look is definitely not for everyone as it does require some front fender modification and fender spreading. I've grown quite fond of the look however and appreciate the performance advantages it offers. Epik is correct above in that the angle at which the pic was taken amplifies just how far the front wheels really are.

Remember, there is something to be said about function before form. Griggs racing is the most respected name in the business when it comes to getting serious about handling, with Maximum Motorsports closely there as well. Griggs designed one of the lightest K-members on the market with raised A-arm inner mounting points, raised steering rack mounting points to reduce bumpsteer, angled the A-arms to improve anti-dive characteristics during braking, improved postive caster capability, and best of all it weighs only 18lbs. Judging from your comment, I don't expect you to know much about those topics, but that's ok.

I have never heard anyone call the Griggs K-member a tasteless mod, lol. Perhaps you are more of the "tasteful" mod kind of guy who appreciates K&N filters and Flowmaster mufflers? If so, not to worry, my car has those to [Wink]

JMO lol

tasteless as in appearance wise. my comment summed up means I cannot justify my front wheel being SO FAR off centered that it looks like a mistake. not to say the mod dint improve your car in other aspects. just saying as far as looks go.....nah it isnt working. clean none the less.

Luke's car is the epitome of a highway, clean, slick, and purposeful. Look at that stance... simply perfect. Tire heights and aspect ratios...precisely calculated. Can't be said for 99% of clapped out highways on the road today.

And for the dudes with 18" Saleens ... strictly East Oakland or 1999 throw back everywhere else. Nigguh please....
