Those wheels are carved out of pure win.

Sounds good Robert. If all goes well doing my header coating it should be running in about a week.

Kurt, I'm in love with those wheels already. Can't fit a 295 tire on a Beretta! haha

Looks like it barely fits that fender well... Do you have to roll or does the suspension not travel far enough to tuck?

Its just more tire to try and spin too...

[woody90gtz]

Fronts and rear will both tuck. Both wheel wells will be slightly modified to make it happen. Rear is easy, I just need to roll that quarter lip. Front will take a little inner fender reworking...but it's gonna look bitchin. I'm dropping the ass end about 1" when I change the leaf shackle bolt from the lower to the upper hole (already has 220lb lowering springs) and the front should drop 1-1.5" when I cut & reweld my front core support to align the fenders correctly with the wedged subframe. Lots of guys cut the Hotchkis coils to get the right ride height since removing weight from the front is common. That's one of the beautiful things about a-arms...you can cut the springs any length you want and it works fine, because the flat end goes in the upper spring pocket of the subframe, and the control arm is shaped for the odd end of the spring.

I went with taller tires than most guys go with (27f, 28.3r) when lowering (most go 26). But from the factory these things had 27.4" tires, so it needs some height to fill out the wheel well...just makes them a little tougher to fit when you drop them. Mine had 26s on it when I bought it and they looked tiny. Better when lowered like WickedZ's car here, but still tiny.



See the 26s just look too small to me.

The car looks really nice woody.Notice a handling improvement??I like your camaro much better then my brothers 81.I think mostly because of the color.

I just bought two tires to test-fit. Bought the other two today. So some time this week they should be on to where I can drive with them. Tires were the last thing left holding my suspension back. I can install my Hotchkis swaybars now too.

Oh and I did get a little done with the Beretta tonight..didnt bring the camera in though. Once my headers are done (tmo if all goes well) I can reassemble and it should go pretty quick. Which would be nice...to have a fuel injected daily driver again.

nice car, we moved my 84 firebird today a few feet lol first time shes moved for like 5 years. i think i might put a engine in it this summer, i want to drive it so bad. i have owned it for about 9 years something like that.

This pic is with some tires my dad bought i just stuck them on there to see what it would look like, i drove around the block with them on there and they scrubbed really good. stuck out past the wheel well like 3 inches.

both pics are before i had it painted. was looking at it today and its going to need re painted again from sitting for 5 years in the sun its faded pretty bad . and the side skirts are no longer on it those were just sitting on there i never did get the whole kit.

And Boner calls me a redneck! haha

[beretta]

I only stuck them on too see what it would look like, parked on the front lawn for weeks like that, the guy across the road called it a tonka toy lol
