The wheels are 19 x 9.5 front and 19x 11 rear. For tires i have bridgestone so3 pole positions, sized 245/35/19 front and 285/30/18 rear. The sizes were limited in 19s and thats basically the only combination that has the exact same overall diameter front/rear. I also went small so that the tires are stretched out to the max (the rim widths are the maximum for those tires front/rear), for a european look ( i dont like fat tires ) and to keep the overall diameter the same as the stock 17s... that way with the car lowered even with 19s the car still sits really low to the ground and doesnt look like a 4x4. :cheers:

That car looks familiar.......(I swapped exhausts with you, did everything work out ok?)

Put the new wheels on so we can see what it looks like. :cool:

What took so long with the motor?

Cool..

believe it or not its not even in the car yet. The real delay was getting the engine parts. The T&D shaft rockers took 6 weeks, the Random tech cats were on back order. The canton pan took severely long to get here.... and no one had the right pickup for the oil pump that goes with it so canton made one.. da da da... On top of that i want to use the DFI 7 now so were trying to figure out how to use the sequential system with the OPTi (needs a crank trigger or something) and im also going to use the LTCC coil/plug conversion. So now i got to order the dfi 7 and the LTcc, gotta get the coils and it just never seems to end.

I figure it should be done by november so i can drive it for a month. But in the meantime i bought this ....

:cool:

DieL

I found a few more pics....

The original ad when i bought it... the gap was like 4 inches before lowering!!! :eek:


Heres the car after i took my brothers 1997Camaro ss wheels that were lying around. And lowered...


some others,




Heres the last pics the day i dropped it off to get the motor pulled (last November!)

DieL

k ill stop im probably driving people nuts with this :lol:

Awesome! I'd been hoping you'd post more pics of this beauty. :cool:

Nice! It looks lower, or at least less space in the wheel wells with the Y2K's vs. the GS wheels. You said they are the same OD as the 17's?

Who did you get to do your heads? 313 CFM! that is great!

fiberglasscoffin

damm looks low! :eek: :cool:

DieL

>The car is much lower with the Y2ks because it was re-lowered. When i had the ploy bushings installed i also bought Zo7 springs from GM, custom bilsteins with 1.5 inch shorter shafts. I had the rubber ends from the ends of the springs chopped off as well. I probably only have about 2k miles on the car in the last 3 years and i can say the suspension has settled a little bit since so you cant even get a finger under the fender... especially after driving a while it seems to get a touch lower.
Only issues i had was finding an alignment shoppe. I ended up finding one that doesnt use a beam to connect the front two tires because the front bumper is so low it blocks most alignment systems.

>The overall diameter of Eagle GS-c 285/40/17s are 26", the 275/35zr 18 is 25.9 so theres not much of a difference.

> The shoppe who is building my motor did my heads... hes quite the genius with headwork. If i remember right its a 2.1 intake valve.. lift @ .550 was 301, port volume is about 195... i may be wrong.

Thx for the compliments :D
