Ok, how to get the racer Stance

What size Wheels/Tires will i need for a Drag/Pro-Street stance. Where it looks like the rear tire takes up all the space or the wheel well.

How can i get this stance for a Bird. I'm done looking for the Sports Car Stance, i want all out drag stance.

Anyone got pics of Drag Birds???

Soon enough, there will be horsepower to back it up to. so how do i get this for my gird?

like this stance right here, bad example since it dont have GFX but still.






Thanks,

Shane

Whatever you do, don't use that car for an example.......

Second, don't throw drag tires on a car with a stock engine.....

i'm not using it as a design example, but as a size wise example. The tire size and wheels are what i want.

I just wish i could get 245/60/16 insteal od my wimpy 245/50/16.i think i gotta do down one inch in wheel size in order todo that though. Dont i?

drag stance is simple.

go drag racing. do everythign you can to get the car to hook.. including put a bias ply tire like ET streets..


and instantly, it has a race car stance.

Raked look

Not quite sure what you are trying to achieve. The look without the backup is not good but you say it's coming so go for it. I, being an oldschool type of guy wanted a "Raked Look". In order to do that I just put 215/65R/15 on the front with white letters and 235/60R/15 on the rear(white letters also). the 235 's are nice and fat and I stayed with the 15's on a deep dish wheel for more old school approach.
