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)

ahhh
i want my tires to stick out in the back by about atleast an 1" and the front ones like the ram air ta in the above pics....
i'm not for sure if the ta is lowered in the front, or the big tires in the rear pushing the nose down.........

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...

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!

dude the rims, tires, and adapters where bought brand new and don't have 200 miles on them........
they are practically brand new! they have just been on the car sitting for the past year while the motor has been getting done......
whoever buys them will have to pay shipping because i am broke........
pics are at my webpage
