Definitely some progress man. Think the wheels might be a little too big?

I was thinking the same. Looks like great forward progress for sure, but I'm wondering how those wheels work out during suspension articulation and turning. And they might be a little funky with small brakes.

yea so far im like the 4th person on tgo iv seen to do the wheels theirs some kinks I need to work out with tire sizes to make them fit just right and some fender rolling to be done but they look great on thirdgens from what iv seen.

after I get the car running right and all the kinks workout im saving up to do the 2010 brembo front brake upgrade and some paint

heres the first guy on tgo to do it and it looks baller

the back tire there looks like it is 2" too far out, more than rolling the lip, but maybe its the pic. nice looking wheel though.

In that pic he used bigger spacers than I did and no adjustable panhard bar so the adjustment that needs to be done hasnt. His driver side fits perfect.

As for my car the driver side is 1/4" past the fender and thats with the wrong size tires and havnt adjust the panhard bar yet.

They look good but I would be afraid to run over pine needles.

Fast92RS 05-20-2011 02:17 PM

I think it would look better if the rear fenders were widened like the sunoco car fenders on 4th gens. I think someone on tgo did widen the rear fenders and it looked really good.

wheels dont look too bad, and you're planning on a new hood right? right ? (please) lol

xrelapse13 05-22-2011 12:26 PM

come a far way from a few years ago

ar0ck 05-22-2011 03:13 PM

Need to see it with the front fenders on to pass final judgement.

Jersyboyy 05-23-2011 06:26 PM

sweetbmx...anything bigger than a sheet of paper is to be avoided at all costs

every body else....thanks guys shes still coming along day by day.

as far as the hood....well i actually like it it looks unique its just enough cowl to clear my motor and unless i find someone (tard) wanting to straight trade for a ram air II hood its staying

It's not my favorite, but I have seen far worse hoods on a 3rd gen Camaro.
