oh sorry i'd love togo but the vehicle is garaged at the moment just gotta put it on the road actually, sorry but maybe later in the summer, i have a few things that need to be done first.....<< i have to do new fuel lines. , some other little things etc...etc... but yea i'd definately go if i could. maybe another time tho

 

jeez, and 285's up front?! wow, very cool.....Im suprised that they're on a 9.5 rim though, none the less

 

i want 315s out back!!! damn that looks sweet

i got 245s...stock size all the way around and there just too damn small im not sure what i can fit on my rim i think its 8" wide

next time i do tires which will be rather soon at this rate, im getting some drag radials and hopefully a wider sizetire if possible...

 

i think a 255 u can fit on the iroc rim, gta rim if it's 8" wide, i haven't heard of anyone putting bigger but i'm sure u prolly can tho. 255's on an Iroc rim actually look kinda cool

 

look good

 

Tires look phat

 

you can put 295/50's on the iroc wheel. i am. 27.6" tall so it's a bit more than most people want, and it has a bit more sidewall bulge than most like for handling, but i'm not building my car to carve corners. it's going to be built to look great crusing on the street and be able to really throw down at the dragstrip when i got my d/r's on.

 

Awesome IROC! the wheels/tires are sweet! the pait look great, and the side exhaust is cool too.

 

I'ld like to see a pic of that.

 

Man I bet you feel every nic and spec of dust in the road.

 

beautiful car!! i love the red, excellent color choice...what do you have on that biotch for exhaust? looks a little low...does it drag at all?

 

when i get the wheels and tires to the house, there will be MANY pics taken.

 

Aren't the 285's taller than 315's ?

Car looks great. I especially like the exhaust

 

Yes the 285/40/18 are taller they stand at 26.98 inches tall and the 315/35/17's are 25.68 inches tall.

 

Thought so. I would have gone with a 275 in the front.

Regardless, the car looks great

 

The measurements are incorrect because all tires are different hieghts depending on brands...both the 285/40/17 and the 315/35/17's on my car are basically the same hieght and i'll post a pic of the measurements. to prove it ....so here ya go also here's the lowest hieght of the exhaust and it's really tucked up, I've seen people running at the lowest like 2- 1/2 to 3" and that's really pushing it. I've never had a problem with bottoming out with this set up...

 

height* can't spell up top...but here's the tire measurements..front first...

 

rear measurement. I think that the rear is short by about a centimeter, but also the rears are drag radials so those tires while driving, the height of the tire increases because there's no sidewall reinforcement like there is on the front Kumhos.

 

awsome

 

i'm sorry, but a radial tire cannot expand. it has radial steel belts going through the middle of the tire that won't allow it to expand. the sidewall reinforcements have nothing to do with it. i don't know much about tires larger than 15's, but i have done EXTENSIVE research on drag radial tires.

 

all tires in some way shape or form do expand due to heat. I'm not talking a huge expansion....just maybe a centimeter or quarter inch nothing more.

 

What was involved in the rear to make them fit? I am looking into doing the same thing, and would like to know if it was just a couple of whacks with a BFH?? What width is that rim?

 

yeah, but you were talking about it like it would make a difference.

 

the rim width is 9.5"...there's also a 1.5" aluminum spacer on there...the passenger side seems a lil closer for some reason dunno...but just a few wacks with a small sledger then painted and rubberized it all....

 

Here are some bad scanned in pics from 2000 with the old IROCs and 295's out back.

 

and after it was painted. It really needed to be lowered with that tall of a tire out back.
