BadGTA, I thought you were selling your bird. I hope you decided to keep it as it looks awesome.:hail: The white IROC is from Owensboro, KY I think. On the Kyfbodies board he goes by Cain. He drives a truck I think so if you want to email him he can tell you a lot about the car, but give him some time to respond.

only thing i did was buy a cervinis 3" cowl and a set of prostars...15x10 in the back, 15x5 in the front. I plan to drop the front about an inch to restore the factory ride hieght with a set of moroso trick springs. Right now it sits higher than stock due to all the weight i've taken off the front (alum heads and intake, no heat, no ac, no power steering, fglass hood)

it looks red cause it was about to downpour outside, and the camera has trouble when it's not either sunny or dark.

The rears are 15x10 with 5.5" bs, and the fronts are 15x5 with 3.5" bs. I don't the part number, but summit or whoever you order them from should have no problem getting it. Took the guy i talked to all of 5 seconds.

Eric

i'll get some pics of the front tomorrow for ya...(it's about to rain again)

wide enough? If you look closely you see two burnout marks on the pavement. Those were done with 245/16 Goodyear gsc's....just to give you a bit of a comparison...

The only other pics I have of it are 2 engine pics and that's it. Maybe if I see that car again at another show I'll take more pics of it.

draglites and prostars and rodlites are two pieces welded together that is why they have the spacer in the middle where the wheels mount up ...

my tires come flush to the fender lip, so if you want them to stick out about an inch on each side go with a 4.5" bs.

Can't say i think it'll look good that way though, i wish mine tucked in another 1/2 inch or so. But if thats the look you want, a 4.5 bs will do the trick...

A little off topic, IROC-ZZ4, any pics of the motor/interior? I'll email you. zupmanZ28, glad to see you went with the pro starts! Car looks great man. As well as others in this thread. Yes, "BADASS" is the key term for most of these cars!

What kind of tires, how much tread is left on the Cobras?

And do you have CLOSE UPS of EVERY wheel?
