    When I bought the tires they came with KUMHO tires, but they are NLA. I actually had to go UP in size! Glad we made them wide enough.

    Wheels were about 2000$ give or take, new rubber all around was about 800$, new hubs up front 400$, and rears were just drilling them out, but new bearings and everything else, 300$. Pretty expensive just to get these wheels to work....but they were my dream wheels.





    Had to convert everything over to 5x114.3 from 4x114.3 to get these all to fit. Adapters I bought made things worse, and they pushed everything out.

    Wheels had to be bored out to accept the new hubs on the wheels.

    New front hubs on wheels



    they are billet aluminum, much much lighter than the stock steel ones.



    The rears were quite more difficult to do.

            I dont have much more on this fiberglass build, its pretty much caught up with those last pictures. Ill be doing some more work on the car this weekend. But for now, here is how she sounds in full song, prior to the fiberglass kit. 297hp. Car weighed in around just shy of 2500 lbs, with the fiber glass kit on it, Im sure to be under 2500lbs now. Its pretty much a death trap on wheels.

              Have not socialized this car yet outside of it being online in Instagram and reddit. Havent been to any club meets or CC.

              Genuine 3 Piece, HRE-505's from late 80's early 90's from what Im told. I have all the center caps, which are in amazing shape.

              Front tires are 17x10.5 275/40/17 Front with a 5.5" lip
              Rear tires are 17x13 345/40/17 Rear with a 9" lip -63 offset

              The rear fenders were all made by myself and a friend over the course of about a month, nothing was big enough on the market. The front fenders and nose, are part of an IMSA race kit.

              Love it or **** it, Im absolutely stoked on how it turned out. Exactly the look I was going for.





              Enjoy!


              Love the tire setup and custom body work. Its impressive what people can make now from their garages.

                  Finally finished. Longer than expected, and of course lots of weird issues along the way. But here you go!

                            There are some who absolutely loathe it. I get it, not for everyone. There are also those who say its not there style, but can appreciate the hard work that went into it. Im estatic on how it turned out. Picking out a color on a car thats going to last hopefully a lifetime is hard, I think I nailed it

                            Someone asked for more pictures. Here is a very quick, down and dirty album I did. Havent had the car long since its been out of paint, so I dont have a whole lot of pictures yet.
