sorry that whole lil scam thing prob aint allowed so my bad but i really needed to no this. so yea i was wondering if i left my snypers on for the winter would there be harmful effects for them. Also gettin a new set of tires for them so whhen spring comes ill be ready to go. What size you guys suggest. i got the 17 x 9's

finally sold the ss rims for 800 yay. ne one wana buy spacers?

 

You can drive them all Winter in SoCal with no damage. However where you live, I'd get a beater set for the Winter if you have to drive the car. You'd be better off getting a beater car for the Winter and park your F-Body in a garage 'til good weather returns.

that's what I do

 

The snypers will be fine in the winter. They have a thick clear coat on them. I too suggest another car for winter though. F-bods are garbage in adverse weather situations.

 

well i have no other car option really, Im on 17 no job and **** so no beater car until spring! BUt I get to use my moms 05 elentra w/e i want

 

Sell the snypers and get some "go" before you make it show.

 

as in go you mean what?

 

headers, exhaust, heads, ignition, etc...

 

Ignore him. Do what you want. There's plenty of of folks who think a clean & stock '85 is better than a ratted out fast '85...

I drove my '84 through two winters, actually, and I did it successfully: A 100 mile a day commute to Milford Michigan for my first job out of college. You can do it too, but you'll really want some different tires.

I highly suggest you keep the Snypers for spring time, and buy some nondescript steel 14 x 6 inch wheels, then toss on some good winter tires courtesy the tire rack. Yes they will look ugly but so will your car all encased in dried up salt. The narrower tires will help a lot when it comes to winter capability. In fact, I have some 17 x 9.5 inch wheels now and I got stuck in HALF AN INCH of snow last year when transporting my car to the body shop for its repaint... Wide tires suck in the snow.

Next, find yourself a $2 a car wash place and get in the habit of visiting it whenever possible. When I commuted, I spent $2 a day to have my car washed when I arrived at work. Each morning I forked over two bucks and rolled it through the auto car wash. Fourty bucks a month to keep the salt reduced to a minimum. I still have the car and there isnt any rust anywhere so it's possible.

Lastly, I try not to be a grammar nanny but your spelling really makes it look like you can barely read, much less write. I'm really not trying to insult you here, but please, please try to abbreviate less words. We would appreciate it.

 

Sorry about my grammer. I rush alot because Im not supposed to be on the computer. Thats why i usually have incomplete thoughts and sentences or miss spelled words.

 

So I took a look at how to remove them today. How do you remove them? I wasnt able to find a way to get any were close to the clamps inside or what ever is holding them in! Im just going to order them from procarparts.com yous said camaro ones would fit on my T/A right?

 

And by snypers you mean stock how? Ignore HIM...

 

it turns out im not getting the rims, instead im getting a ram air hood and cut outs from qtp.

 

Right. Camaro/Firebird third-gen are all the same. You should be able to find a set of 14-inch steelies or some 15 x 7's alloy wheels from a base model car for super cheap. Probably $40 for a set I'd say. Then have them outfitted with some good rain/snow tires from the Tire Rack.

However, since you opted not to buy the aftermarket wheels, dont you have a stock set of wheels already? If so, just swap out the rubber for some of these and then get your cool wheels for summer duty in the spring:

Here's some ideas:

195-75-Q14 for the 14 inch wheel:

Only $67 apiece !


215-65-15 for the 15-inch wheel: Ah, sold out for the season.

 

I ment to ask that question in my side marker thread.
