So many threads about Fitment. I see the pictures, and then i see almsot everyone saying that the lip shouldnt be exposed, etc etc. Figured i'd do it my way. 19x8.5 with 245/35s on them, should've went 255. And 19x9.5 with 285/35s. What i see as the correct way. Enjoy.

need to lower.

its already been lowered 1 1/2. it scrubs when i launch it lol. Cant lower it anymore. Its not a honda lol. Better showing of how it sits on more level ground. Its low enough. It looks good, Its functional, and its still able to be put on a track and daily driven and not bounce around like a horse and buggy like most of the lowered cars ive rode in.

Lol well u talk about stretch... But u put 295 on a 9.5... Over kill.. Ballon side wall ftl.

SoCoWhiteWS6

03-25-2010, 09:26 PM

295 isnt overkill lol. I about put 305s on it. Probably will next time i go to order my tires. true fitment. got traction? even with 295s i lack at times.

dz N.U.T.Z.

03-25-2010, 09:28 PM

U talk about fitment. And 295 is not the correct tire size for a 9.5...

Can I drive it?

SoCoWhiteWS6

03-25-2010, 09:36 PM

well for one theyre 285s, not 295s. but 295s wouldve done nicely. 305s wouldve done fine. specially since nitto runs narrow anyways. a 305 is about equivalent to a 295 in nitto sizes. but im pretty sure that for a 295 the correct rim size is 9.5-11.

sorry, i wouldnt even let the guy at firestone drive it up onto the lift to do my alignment lol. nobody drives it but me.

Im not a fan of c6 wheels, i like my 19's. if i do 315s i have to raise the car back up and thats not something im ready to do. maybe add another 1.5" to my rear wheels in the future and try it.

I thought about that and maybe i'll get them this weekend. Suppose to have another photoshoot with my buddies SOM WS6.

Rolled my fenders, and had to adjust my panhard bar because the passenger side was scrubbing a little bit on the lip. now its perfect. as for exhaust its a custom set up. I have a pic of when it was getting put on. Pacesetter long tubes, custom True Duals, H pipe under the axle out the back. This pic is missing the H pipe.

whats the deal with people wanting my car lower? its not an import or minitruck that you can sit on the ground and be ok with it. Its an actual performance car. i like taking my car to the tracks. my exhaust already scrubs over bumps lol. no more lower.

man i LOVE WS6's and white is my favorite color on them...pretty hard to find too.

SoCoWhiteWS6

03-25-2010, 10:10 PM

yeah i love white. its my favorite, followed closely by Sunset Orange Metallic. They are getting hard to find, specially 6 speed. A lot of the white ones i looked at to buy were automatic and non ws6 cars.

The car is nice, it sets up nicely, its probably quick.....buuuut......the gloss black centers and polished lip just don't quite work for me (most probably would not agree) overall nicely done though

Yep. I has em too.

SoCoWhiteWS6

03-26-2010, 12:09 AM

I like the CCW's, they look great on vettes and trans ams. But i dont like the "drag" look. I like the street/autox look alot more than i do a drag look. It just dont suit me lol. But what is sad is that i get a better 60ft time with my 19's and these nitto invos, then i did with my stock 17s and the 555 extreme drag radials. nice vette though.

The 19's make your car slow, lol.

There you go.

these 19's way almost 2 pounds less each than what my factorys weigh. dont see how they make me slow. Its not a race car anyways. its a street car that has a little bit of power. if anything it will be on an auto-x track when i get out to texas. the 19's ride alot better, the car handles better with them, and all aroundj ust does better with them.

I just have to ask.......are the headers welded to the exhaust pipe?

SoCoWhiteWS6

03-26-2010, 10:25 PM

no lol. theyre welded to a step down. from a 3" collector to a 2 1/2" piping. yes a bit ghetto but it got the job done.

Slomaro Z28

03-26-2010, 11:09 PM

When I did my z28, I just bought the headers with flanges....but to each their own, I didn't wanna mess with the slip fit.

i love that danger ranger u got there

SoCoWhiteWS6

03-27-2010, 01:40 AM

well i got a really good deal on a set of race headers that didnt have the flanges so that would be why its like that.

and thank you the ranger is my brothers.
