My original plan was to use Goodyear's G19 slicks fo the rears... they make a 28.5" x 14.5" which would fit perfectly, no stretch whatsoever. However, come to find out they only produce them once they have a minimum order, which as of right now they're at 20% of that number. So, instead of waiting two years for "correct" tires I'll use a 345/35/18 stretched a bit, most likely Kuhmo V710's. We have the Hoosier R6's on our Mazda, so I want to see how these compare.
Don't worry, this wont fizzle out. I've got way too much invested into it already. It may take a few years, sure... but, thats half the fun of it. My goals for the winter are modifying the suspension to accept the wheels and tires, while lowering it another inch-two inches, along with the new exhaust and intake manifold. I also have a 5-speed that I need to put in. I don't know if I'll do some ratty fenders once the wheels are on, I guess we'll just have to see.... I know what the end picture looks like, what happens between now and then is completely up in the air. I'll just have fun with it.

I like the way you think, Sir.Originally posted by SENZA PARI View PostI don't need 15" wheels... I don't really need the car, but this is what I do. We'be done 11's,12's, 13's... So the next logical step (I use logical loosely.. ) is something bigger. Sure, its by no means practical, but thats not the point. I have a daily driver and we have a purpose built Texas Mile car, time to build something that puts a smile on faces.

Originally posted by Art[of]Fitment View PostWhy on earth do you need a flipping 15" wide wheel thats stupid. no offense, but twelve would be pushing it and you can have just as deep of a wheel. prolly cost an arm and and a leg too, you def. have some sweet rides, and who knows, my opinion may change, i hope it does lol.Last edited by SENZA PARI; 10-04-2011, 09:10 PM.
