New wheels, cleaned the car a little. 3 Attachment(s) Finally got the wheels/tires on the car and got it cleaned up. Still have a lot of detailing to do because the car sat for over a year collecting dirt and spider webs. Attachment 374969 Attachment 374970 Attachment 374971 |

Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. she is a beauty nice work |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Shitty pics, but really nice ride. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. I hate that hood with a passion but you have the perfect storm of elements to pull it off and make it look decent. Beautiful car, sir. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Thank you everyone, it has taken me 8 years just to get to this point. Still needs so much more, like upgraded brakes all the way around. SD, yes, not the best pictures because I took them with my phone, scenery isn't spectacular either but I will have some professional photographs taken hopefully soon. Infernal, I have considered selling the hood because i'm not happy with it's fitment. I love how it looks though. Thank you for the compliment. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. more wheel shots! curious to see how the rear fit, since my new wheels are a similar fitment. what kind of rear metal work for those wheels? |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. 2 Attachment(s) //<86ta>\\, They fit awesome. I felt around inside the inner fender wells on the rear and it is very close, can't get my fingers in there. I haven't driven it yet and before I do I plan on massaging the inner fender a little with a BFH. Wouldn't need much. Attachment 374947 Attachment 374948 |

Yes 20mm offset, and 295/35. Ended up paying $256 for BOTH of the rears new. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Are those 9.5 or 10 in the rear also what spacers did you use? O have xxr 521 in 18x10 and 18x8.5 with close to your offsets. I came up with 3/4 fronts and 1/4 rear curious what yours are. And the car wheel combo is dead on. |

WHERE?????? :help: resop, 9" fronts and 10.5" rears. I used 1.25" spacers in the front, the rears fit perfectly(minus some inner fender massaging.) |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. I agree with the sentiments regarding the hood. Other than that, it looks good. **Edit** The experience I have with the XXR's shows that the front hub hole is too small. Did you open it up? What did you do for a cap? Can't tell by the pics. Thanks. |

Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. I love that hood! Makes it look like it breathing! My favorite look on these cars!! You car is one sweet ride! Great job :) |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Very nice car. Looks great. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. I have a set of GM emblems that I as thinking of painting black...either all black or black with red GM and underline to it. When I do my brake upgrade the calipers will be red also. http://www.merchant-automotive.com/i...l/15223483.jpg I was thinking of putting them just behind the front wheel on the rocker ground effects. Thoughts? I've also seen them at the beginning of the door guard strips. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. personally i HATE that gm emblem/plaque on anything. Thats just me.

Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Hi Charcoalbird, Very nice car. Really like the color. I have a question. Are you running the 18x10.5 on a stock third gen rear end? I couldn't find it in your posts and was just curious? Thanks. |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. XXR makes some of my favorite wheels on the market. I wish the restrictive work network would let me view the images. I'll have to check it out when I get home! |

Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Bringing this thread back to life .... Those wheels look great! I'm pretty sure you said you didn't run spacers on the rear. Aren't those 5 x 120? If so, how did you get them to fit? |
Re: New wheels, cleaned the car a little. Thank you, Sean. No wheel spacers on the rear. I used wobble nuts to help correct the .65MM difference in bolt pattern. Since those pictures I have tinted the Windows and lowered it some. |
