The lip is fuckin' tits. The color and the whole wheel pop with the spokes set back like that and the 9s really fill out the fenders nicely. I grabbed these tires for a song, $144 shipped for 4 of them with 2/32nds left, so they will get me 2-3 track days while I save up for some more NT-01s.

They did have this funky chunky rubber buildup on the two rears, like they had been driven through the marbles, so I had to get rid of it. :giggle:

that looks hot as fuck.......somehow the car looks like its really wide

looks great man. thats the exact setup im going to run on my 90. so what fender mods were needed?

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I want wider wheels.

Sweet...any pictures straight on from the back? I'm curious how they look. Thanks.

My fenders are rolled, no pulling. 11.7" front, 12.2" rear. I will grab a rear shot today.

i want 9s now!

Waiting for the ass shot

I have 15x8 for the street, but this makes me want to get the 9's for the track and run hoosiers...but that's a lot of money and won't last as long.

Nobody likes your ugly, heavy, weak ass, puny wheels....

Drool.

What's the contact patch measure front and rear? I get 8.5" front and rear with 6.5" wheels w/ Yoko 225-50's.

They look great! 6ULs, right?

In for pics of the rear view, and of the C5 parked next to it. :)

Pretty sure that's not a C5 kotomile. But "spread the wealth" is hilarious.

Meh, C4, maybe C5, whatevs.

And thank you. :)

Looks like a NA miata to me. Not a vette.

And yeah, that's a C5Z parked next to it. My roommate's track toy that he picked up for a fucking song. Stroked LS3, Pfadt suspension, blahblahblahblahb. Retarded fast.

Back end looks great Sav.

IN YOUR FACE, PATSMX5!!!!!!

Yeah yeah, whatever.... I lose. I was looking at the reflection in the mirror of the C5... Obviously.

Looks good sav. What's with that little notch in the center of the rear bumper? And is that a 3" pipe out the back?

3" pipe out the back. The notch was for an aborted trailer hitch project. I need to replace the rear bumper skin.

what does your plate frame say?

"Sleep in the car... cuz you can't race the house."


(because wouldn't fit.)

I hear people do that with a base ball bat or etc. How did you do it? And did you have to touch the paint up?

our cars are practically twins. I'll have to snap some good pics one day. Same ride height, wheels and all. I used an eastwood roller that I rented from a guy on ebay. Went slowly, used a heat gun. Only had a tiny tiny crack in the paint on the edge of one fender which you can't see.

My fenders are an advertisement for a heat gun and an Eastwood roller. My fronts were done with a Maglite and no heat and it shows - the paint is cracked badly. You can actually see the damage in the photos. The rears were heated to 140 degrees and done with a roller and there is no cracking at all.

What spring rates are you running? And a corollary... if I was staying around 12.5"-ish front and 12.75-13" rear, do you think something like 450 lb fronts and 300 lb rears would fix the bit of fender liner rubbing I get at the track with 225/45s on 15x8s? Currently using stock springs on the Koni yellows, but my Koni sleeves are here and it's time to order springs for them. :)

emilio needs to hurry up with that december shipment ! lol

looks amazing !

to bad my 6uls wont be dailies :( could always pick up an extra set of 15x8s tho!

Looks very nice. Now stop making me jealous :)

See.... 9" wide with 225's is a good middle finger to the so-cal gay style of 0 offset and 195's. Fucking awesome.

Hey Sav, looks fat! Do you have 8" 6UL's for the street?

As soon as I decide on tires. R1R, RE-11 (if it comes to the states), or Dunlop Direzza Star-spec.

Left is 225/45 Toyo RA-1 on 15x9, Right is 225/45 Nitto NT-01 on 15x8. I want to try them back-to-back but at least placebo-wise, the 9s feel like they have more grip.

Star specs are an amazing tire. Esp for a "200" treadwear.

225's on 9's look stretched! What's Emilio say about lap times 8's vs 9's.
