Just checked out possible tire sizes. 215/35/18 and 245/35/18. A bit much? Lemme know. I don't exactly have $ to burn at the moment.

Different angle of snoops setup. Unsure of tire sizes. Looks like a nice stretch on the rears. Looks pretty tough.

 

sam i actually plan on running those same size tires on 18x10s all around when i get wheels sometime in the next month. is your 7 stock body or are you running wide fenders?

 

I'd say 215/35 f and 235/35 r if you can get those sizes.. So you can have a closer to equal stretch all around.. And it'll need less of a pull to fit

 

It's completely stock. No over fendes.

Thanks for the input beachFC. Would running 40's make a big difference? I have some that are on a set of volks in my garage. The rears are 235/40. But I would need new front tires.

Sorry if this is a noob question or already discussed at length.

 

Little Falls huh? I'm located in Paterson. Ever go to any of the meets?

 

If i got the equips im trying for, theyre a 18x9/10 and i was gonna run a 215/35 and a 225/35 or 40. just because my car is so low i need a significant stretch to make that work

 

I don't think I'll be as low as you because I'll have a full kit. But since you're moving up in size, are you getting a kit or will you keep it stockish? I'm also of the belief that 18's demand a kit to look dope.

 

yup, i completely agree. i eventually plan on doing aero, but for right now, i cant. practically all my deployment money is going to wheels, fixing small problems with the car, and getting a daily. but probably around tax return time i might.

 

well not really, actually it would probably make it easier to see the difference in stretch.. but 40 series on 18's would probably rub at the upper most point of the fender well long before it would be "low" to someone like me, as the difference between a 40 and a 35(in 235's) would be almost exactly a half inch, which makes a big difference when you are 3 inches off the ground

35's would be ideal on an 18.. notice how MOST, not all, but MOST fc's on 18s are no where near low..

i'll never understand why someone would run 315/35-18's on a streeted N/A fc

 

sam no i havent been to any meets yet since i havent had my car running but im almost finished with my t2 swap so ill be on the road soon

 

I totally understand. This is a great deal of help. I would like to be as low as possible. I don't wanna scrape frame. I also have my n1's to worry about. So I'm leaning towards 215/40 235/40 because they're easier to find in matching brands it seems at my local tire shops. Other wise they'd be all mismatched. And although I'm not balling I don't want her look like a cheap date.


RTYPWR, I totally understand. Most of us do. I have all the parts and aero I need but I'm tapped out on getting fresh paint and refinishing my t2 hood. Lol

P0tat0, I've wanted to do a swap for a long time. Once it's up and running I'd love to get together and check it out.

 

Nice stuff

 

@ SAMSHIZZLE Just putting in my input but I think 225/35 will be way better youll be way happer just saying.....

 

SAM ill hit you up on here when i get her running and have insurance again. one of my buddies is from paterson hes got a blue s4 turbo

 

that's what i'm saying.. 35's would help be lower, and with less complications..

 

Well noted. I'm definitely looking for the less complicated route. Just put her in the garage to await the coilover transplant. Any one have experience with STANCE GR + pro's?

My frame scraps every where i go on every drive way and I want to go lower...I had a 225/45 on a 10.5 and it was too tall .....be sure to post pix with your out come plz....

 

I will be taking lots of before, during and after pics.

 

I got my flat gunmetal xxr 002's ordered pics will be posted soon

 

my car is pretty low, but that **** almost NEVER scrapes. i'm motivated as **** to go lower.. i need pbm's

 

cant wait to see. hope all is working out. and samshizzle, i ended up buying 17s instead of 18s. so aero probably wont happen until later, and ill do 17/18 stagger.

good luck this, cant wait to see

 

Oh cool. I also wanted to do a stagger but the Varrstoens don't come in 17's. I want to be as low as possible. Since she isn't my daily I can deal with it being overly aggressive but still drivable. I live near all the highways so I won't be driving on the terrible streets. When I had my driveway redone I made sure they did as soft of a slope to mate with the asphalt knowing full well one day I'll be dumb low. Should have tires on next week. Working on renting a fender roller.

Thanks for the well wishes. A buddy is coming over tomorrow to give me a hand. This should be fun.

 

Thats really nice

 

Coilovers were installed over the weekend. Still searching to buy some tires for my new wheels. Lowered it about 2 inches. I can go alot lower wirh some camber adjustments done to the fronts. On 18's I must say, it looks pretty good! Still not rolled or pulled. Pics soon.

Heres a dry fit with my kit.
