going for the Triple threat

[andrew N.]

ground effects,
17X11 rear wheels with 315 rear tires.

i can make it work.

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

you are gunna need to post details/specs for all that gear before anyone can really help you..

im bored, just telling people that im doing this.

i already have gfx and ZR-1 rims. im going to lower the car with suspension techniques springs 1.2 front and 1.7 rear. i read on camaroz28.com that one guy with the same rims put the eibach sportlines on that lower the rear 2" had no problems with rubbing.

And are you changing the shocks? Do you race?

do shocks w/ the springs. w/ the rims, u may wanna roll ur fenders out a little. The gfx should be cool as long as u don't go straight up steep driveways.

I'm going to lock this post unless there is a point to it. Posting random information about your car is for the lounge, not this forum.

I'll give it 12hrs.

I don't see why you'd need to roll the fender lip. So long as you have the right size wheels 315's should fit, even with a suspension drop with no rubbing. The ones that require work to fit are 345's. 315's shouldn't really be anymore than a simple tire change. I've seen them on several F4's with no rubbing - even autocross junkies.

Congratulations though, I was hoping to be the first V6 with 315's but oh well. Lemme know how the traction works out for you once their bolted up. I plan on doing everything you are doing, except I plan on running 295's up front.

actually, there is a guy who already did 17x11 w/ 315-35 tires on here. He'll have to roll his fenders with the ZR1's because of the offset they come w/. if they were custom offset ZR1's then maybe he won't have to roll them out.

post some pictures before you start riving it when you are done.. I bet in 2-3 days you will knock off some ground effects. I lowered my car and scrape front bumper everywere without groundeffects!!

sorry Dom, i was posting kinda to see if people knew anything on the subject that i hadnt thought of. so i dont run into unexpected problems.

yes, im getting the slp takeoff shocks, 42$. but i know slp isnt reliable on shipping conditions and times.
