this is how its done,I would change the front bar but with plenty of dish it looks fat as f**k...what are they 10s, 12s??

though unfortunately i think alot of troublesome guard work was involved >_<

I'm not sure if I've posted in here. But here is some anyway. Some are old... some are new... most are average cos I can't take photos

yeah it doesnt seem to sit as nice as your old wheels did, maybe its different in the flesh i dunno..

these photos is where it sits just right IMO anyway , not sure if the first pic is lower than the second

..If you wanted it to look more low just get different skirts..put your old wheels back and get an Explosive kit Blags..

Top pic is: 17x9.5 -2 front 18x.10.5 +15 rear

Second pic is: 17x9.5 +18 all round with 245/40

New rears are: 18x10.5 +-0

blags quest for the perfect fitment, you could write a thread about it..lol..

I dunno but im more of a tuck than a poke man so my opinion may be different to yours and others

I think rim should be close as possible to flush with guard, tyre size is determined by what will then fit under the guard without too much stretch. And stretch front and rear should be even..having a rear stretched more than the front looks unbalanced..and rather silly IMO..camber should also be close as possible to even front and rear..

in your case from a stance only view, I think the 17 fornt 18 rear worked really well and what it needed was a better bodykit to make it all work without the need for excessive lowering..

i havent been to stance nation for a while so maybe im outta touch :P

Yer I guess I could do a nice little write up haha.

It all depends on what you like. I was running xd9's about 2-3 years ago and ever since I continued to get more and more aggressive sizing and offsets. I went back to running 17's all round with sticky rubber because I am getting into a bit of track work.

17's front and 18's rear worked a treat... there was no way you would see a 33 as low as mine.

Going back to a less aggressive set up now and probably staying that way....

Stay tuned for more photos ;)

while on the tyre/ stance subject. im about to get some new tyres, currently running 235 /45 and if i run a 5mm slip it sits just right, would i be right in assuming i could go a 245/40 all round in the same tyre?

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
