Looking for pics of camaros with flush wheels and dumped suspension, for my future drift camaro inspirationss'.

Huh?

sorry, didnt really specify. I dont think this is common in the USDM scene...more of a JDM thang.

Sorry, we dont speak ***** here.

mkay.

That looks like a recipe for destroying wheels! No rubber past them to protect them.

People really drive their cars with the wheels set like that in the wells? I would think that would be a show only deal. Talk about damaging the wheels, tires, and fender lips...
I don't think there are any cars on here that are like that. The fender lips on these are alot thicker than on that car.

Most third gen owners don't go that extreme with their offsets. Here's a couple I found though. I have no clue what the specs are.

you can't drive on the street like that... my car only does it through air ride when parked and i had to rework the fenders and get the rim/tire combo perfect.

man the bead on that tire dosen look like its seated all the way

That's TAME for stretched tires.

I like where the tire fits in that fenderwell but not where the wheel sits.

As mentioned, thirdgens have a large flat inner fender lip that is the meeting of two sheets of metal so it takes a large amount of work to roll it. And do it WELL, keeping everything straight and paint still attached to the metal. Most of the folks here don't like that look and will ridicule you for trying it.

wow.. thats all i gotta say..

I had to run spacers on mine because the company that sold me my wheels failed to tell me they wouldnt fit over the damn hub in the front.

thats not a bad look you got there cookie21

please dont r!ce out a camaro!

i didn't know you kids are still using the word "rice" figured that died in the early 90's... guess not!



here's a link to a picture of mine and a seperate link to one of the articles back in the day. this was before the rebuild, the car sits much lower now when parked and the fender/quarters have been rolled to fit the new 19's much tighter.

It's still a pretty common term. Used more to describe a mindset than a group of people, at least when I use it.

I love how the wheels are too wide for the tires....the tires even had bead/rim protectors on it and it's not even close to rim.....stupid IMO.

You will destroy the rims with that little rubber on them if not damage the fenders with any kick out. Run some wide 18-19 with a good profile tire on them and it should be better for drifting and be able to make more than one run on a set. Got a family member who is a exhibition drifter for nopi and his turbo LS1 240sx has a good amount of tire on it.

youd think before taking a picture of your car you would at least wipe off all the dirt on the bumper and fender??

Those stretched tires are intentional. You make it sound like you think he just went with whatever tires he could get ahold of regardless of fitment. With that style you can fit a wider wheel and drop it more. Popular on eurotuner/VW/BMW cars.

The fact it's intention doesn't make it look any better... at least from my point of view.

I'll say two things here.

That 240 picture isn't the best example of the look, it's much too extreme.

This forum is the worst place to talk about it. I think it's too new.

That being said... we get close sometimes.

lol nah, that car is mild in the sense of fitment, flush yes

I couldnt agree with you more! But to the OP, if you like fitment and stance then do it! You are going to be 1 of a few.......with a lot of haters.

the hood, that hood on the purple camaro is sick!!!!!!!!!

does anyone know were i can find that, and what the offset and backspacing of the wheels that are on the car to?

Do you have DEEP pockets & can speak Japanese? From Japan is where you can get that Carbon Fiber hood.

Undrivable to one person can be acceptable to another. My car is lowered 3+ inches and is my daily driver. When I run my SS wheels I can't even stick my pinkey between the tire and fender yet I don't rub under even the most extreme situations. I took out my fender liners and rolled the crap out of my fenders and used a BFH on a few places.

Wow I want to see a full on side view of that at ride height. I think I like it.

BFH, the ultimate mechanics tool

That looks really good IMO. What kind of back spacing did you use to achieve this look?

Hey bro do you have any pictures of those rims the ss 10 spoke but a side view by any chance?

Thanks. Tony.

What you all think of the tires going outside the fender?

That's what I'm talking about. Spacers? 4th gen rear?

Thank you. The wheels have a 46mm back spacing plus 2" adapters.

I attached a shot comparing my old wheels to the SS wheels.

2" Ebay adapters all around. Warning: they did NOT have the correct center bore, just a few mm too small. I had to grind away the center bore to get them to fit snug.

Unfortunately I don't have a straight side shot right now, hope this will suffice. The rear isn't low enough for me even though it's at it's lowest setting. I'll need to trim the springs a little or buy some shorter springs later on.

That is the same thing about BMW wheels fitting. Same lug pattern, smaller center wheel bore (but EASILY fixable) but WAY WAY more wheel choices.

Lug pattern isn't actually the same. Close and doable. But not the same. Whether or not it is safe is another debate.

5x120 vs 5x120.65 IIRC

Are you on the bumpstops up front? How much clearance do you have? Sits nice up front.

0.65mm = 0.03 inches That equals the "same" in this application to me.

As for safety? Several people here on TGO are running BMW wheels, and I have yet to ever hear that the 0.03 inch difference caused any problems of any kind. I'd be interested in hearing the side of the debate saying they aren't safe, or anything to back that opinion up.

I've got to know what kind of hood that car (#28) has. Very badass!

Not just the hood look at that spoiler that thing is beautifu I wish I could get a hand one of these. And the paint job reminds me of the Civic SI.

Tony.

That would be a 100% carbon fiber hood, made in Japan & sold in Japan.

I suppose if your wallet is deep enough & you have the right connections in Japan, you could buy one too.

Lol I guess it bears repeating Stephen.

Guys we've all been making messes in our pants over that hood for years... and no matter what we do it enver ends up being available stateside. I've given up on it. You want a hood like that and you're going to have to make it yourself.

that hood is sweet ive never seen that kinda vented hood for a camaro it might be custom made or something looks like he got a cowl hood cut it and bent it down and molded it or somthing but id definetally buy one if i could.

and japan isnt ****in carbon fiber land you can buy carbon-fiber hoods and what not in america believe it or not besides i dont even think that is carbon fiber it looks like its just painted black i dont see any square type pattern like carbon fiber has

As for who is the ediot here...YOU ARE.

THAT hood is a 100% carbon fiber hood made in Japan & SOLD in Japan.

Yes, you can buy OTHER carbon fiber hoods, but ONLY commercially made for a 3rd gen Camaro, from Japan.
http://www.primeworks.co.jp/catalog/Page/P20.htm

Find me ONE other 3rd gen carbon fiber hood supplier & in the USA....Ain't gonna happen.

Finally a link and some more info. Guess you just had to get a little pissed off first! lol

Only $1600 American dollars too. :eek:

:thanks:

well you cant even spell so your still the idiot. lol

and like i said ive never seen that kinda hood for a 3rd gen before.
i was talking about for other cars and stuff you made it sound like carbon fiber was only sold in japan
i didnt mean to sound like a **** ive just see so many clueless people on here that are completely ignorant

thanks for posting the link btw now im just gonna have to get my sis to translate it lol

[quote=soultron;4147968]


do you have any more pics of this black one!?

hoo carz aboot a tipo.......If 1 typo is the biggest fault you can find with me.....
Quit reaching.....I said THAT hood, not just "CF hoods"of any kind

CF can be found anywhere, and turned into anything, just not hoods. And NO (commercially sold) 3rd gens hoods in the USA. I do know of 1 that was specifically made, then the buyer (here on TGO) bought the hood & all rights & ownership of it. So the place that made it for him, can't even make & sel them.

The Japan page hasn't even been updated since 2005.....No guarantee all of that stuff is even still available.

well i just came across another post on here about those hoods...
http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/au...tion-hood.html (Japanese induction hood)

anyone else running some aggressive offset?
