Thanks

 

If you dont have the means to paint match the hood, you should just spray bomb it black, would make the car look more complete. The stance looks pretty good actually, nice job overall.

 

Do you rub under full lock + hard cornering? Looks like your fender would chop the tire in half... at least from these angles. I'm not judging, my POS is unfortunately in the same situation I just described.

 

nice bro looks good

 

i like it .. how much camber front and rear??

and i was thinking of getting these wheels.. i would wana run at least 225's out back though..

 

Thanks everyone.

I haven't rattle can the hood black bc i did that to my 240 hood and it looked like crap. I may get a friend whos in a auto body class to paint it black so i wont look like crap ha. Yes i think i would look a lot better sense my wheels are black and im bout to get my windows tinted.

I do rub a little In the front when im sliding. The finders are rolled and coilovers tightened all the way up. When the suspension does compress the tire tucks it self up in the finder and rubs the sidewall of the tire a little. My back bout never rub. I sold my cam but ill try to take pis of how close it is and where it rubs.

The Cambers not that far off. The back i wanna get a 0 and im not far off. I just gotta adjust my camber arm a lil more when i pull my diff for the 4th time. Then gotta stack a lot of boards to try and get on the alignment rack at school haha. The front im not sure but its also not far off. I can let u know degrees when i get it on the alignment rack.

225 in the back? hmmm. If your getting 8 wide wheels i would run 225 at all. 195 is a reasonable fit, not stretched much and all. I think 205 is normal on a 8 inch wide wheel but im not %100 sure. Im going to keep 195/50s in the back and hope to buy 195/40 soon.

Thanks

 

Why do you want to zero out your camber in the rear?

Conservatively I'd say 215 is normal on a 7 inch wheel, 235 on an 8. Shoot, our cars even came stock with 205's on a 6 inch wheel.

 

so i dont get to much camber wear. Cant afford new tires yet ha.
Ya i guess ur right, but thats balloon tires status ha.

 

Is this thing up on carolinahondas.com?

On a side note there is a poor mans drift practice in salisbury 1/21. come check it out.

 

alright if ~25mm = 1 inch.. and 205's are balloon status on 6's then why would a 225 which is ~0.8 inch wider than 205 be big on an 8" wheel(2" wider than stock)?

****, have you seen mac's fc? he has 225 on a 7 and its square. but what ever. to each is own i guess

 

That fc is sick. There just really low profile. I think im thinking about sidewall size for balloon status. Ya your right. Ive seen some small 225's.

 

I have 245 45 16 on my xxr 002s for the rear and i don't rub. Rolled fender

 

zero rear camber is best for grip while drifting to answer the why zero camber question. sick car. just vinyl wrap the bonnet its fairly cheap compared to paint depending on your hook ups.

 

Zero rear camber is great for straight line... if you're pushing that much power. Most of this forum (including me), can't break traction winding out first gear.

 

yeah, if the tire is a good fit(width-wise) usually anything above a 45 is roundish and balloony hahaha

 

i love those wheels, why dont the make them in a 5 lug?

 

they do

 

They make them in 4 lug?!

 

4 and 5 lug.

 

Holy crap! I need to find a set haha

I thought we were talking about the Crown Vics

 

What is a semi stance? And what are toe arms?

 

Just keep the hood white. It really doesnt look bad. matte black hoods are alil played out.

 

i feel like people who paint there hoods black or put black hoods on do it bc they want to to look like a carbon fiber hood haha. Ya i dont think it looks that bad with the white hood. ya they make 002's in 5 and 4 lug. Thanks on the likes
