oh i feel the same way, things rust here when its nice and sunny/dry out.. Id hate to see those parts after a full winter..

Can't even imagine

Just dropping my 2 cents, but that is some seriously retarded stretch on your tires. IMO it looks bad, real bad. Looks like you just threw whatever tire you could find at the scrap yard on your new wheels. Like I said just my 2 cents and opinion. Do your thing bro and get that car running!

Tire/wheel combo looks great IMHO. When you have a chance more pictures of the pull from farther away. I want to see how it looks. Have you considered the normal stock rear wing? I think they look good.

 

[RicoP5]

car is looking good!

That's what I have been wondering as well.
Not from a visual standpoint but how does having the rim supercede the edge of the tire affect safety around corners, or where significant body roll is experienced.

From the image it seems the rim would bear the full brunt of any uneven road gaps or dips, but i could be incorrect.

 

[Cleverfrog]

I just hope he's a good driver. Otherwise those rims will look terrible from curbing it. Rep, you need to get the motor in there.

 

[MidnightProtege]

Rep, you did roll the fenders right bro? :X

 

[speedracr79]

yeah he used a rolling pin

 

[repthemazdas]

god alot of hate goin on lol jk

 

[AzteCypher]

Could the tire roll off the wheel? Given enough force at the right angle the answer would be yes. The ulimate question however is, will he ever reach or supercede that point of no return. Let us hope not. I like the look but I don't think I would trust that setup during a 3 sisters cruise. I'd worry too much myself.

Car's looking awesome though! Now get that bloody engine in there!!!

 

[iamthewheelman]

Sub, car is finally on th ground! Awesome stuff man

 

[Mbrace_24]

Your car needs more of a track set up on wheels. All the bad ass suspension parts you have and the dam ze, I feel like are getting wasted being "hellaflush". That being said. Let me have your wheels. :9

 

[rar40941]

He does have a piont there ^. But that will help hi not rub as bad and the frame won't move as much an he can always get another set of wheels and raise it a bit and he is good to go kinda

 

[Lewis7789]

Rep, what are you designing the car for? Street? Track? A bit of both?

 

[ajkulish]

i hope just street, that stance is not track friendly. though i would love to see him lift the car a little bit and go with more of a battle stance (aggressive offset with decently wide tires that dont rub like crazy.)

 

[repthemazdas]

took some pics with my camera finally....

 

[rar40941]

Dude that v brace looks pretty for now until u start to drive the car that thing is going to get messed up dude be carful

 

[repthemazdas]

i know man i dont wanna drive it cuz of that lol

 

[bikingpro5]

i know man i dont wanna drive it cuz of that lol

so raise the car or remove the lower parts that are only going to get ruined/not used to full potential. When is the motor going in and when is your other rim going to show up?

 

[ajkulish]

i agree. low is cool for a while, but when it comes down to it youre gonna be happy with an at least semi functional ride height. raise it up an inch, youll still be tucking tire, but youll be able to take advantage of those beautiful suspension parts you have
