Why would you put a smaller sidewall up front?

Are you fucking kidding?

So it won't rub as much under load, as you can tell by previous pictures he actually DRIFTS, so rubbing and scrubbing off speed under full lock is important.

Someone needs to read up on wheel fitment, and like the other guy said, STFU you're just making yourself look like a dumbass.

[SoCal-s130]

Those two cars up there need to go lower.

haha!!! everyone has a right to their own opinion.

actually i would really prefer to have the 40s up front to get that safe ride height but, this is gonna be my full on street/battle car so i wanna keep it as low as it will go. also with the 40s up front i could slam my fronts with no perches but when i drove it under load, it would scrub my speed and mess up my steering at full lock. now with the 35s, i have no probem at all and would never consider going back to a 40. plus i love that pam anderson/tommy lee nasty stretch look.

you cant really tell from the pix but ive gotten about an extra inch or so of clearance with the smaller tire.

235-40



225-35



235-40



225-35




if you read my post though, the 235-40s out back were only a test run. i figured a 235 stretch across the 12 it would shorten the height a little but it seems to have worked the other way around. after realizing how much taller they were, im definatly gonna go back to a 35 in the rear. 235-40 is one of those sizes i would never buy and have absolutly no use for and feddies are definatly not worth re-selling. when i bought my rims they were brand new and on the fronts so, i figured what the hell throw them on rears for few hours and blow them out. any 35 series 18s arent cheap and as you can tell by my busted ass car im pretty low in the funding department so, i was just working with what i had

sorry for the long story =(

damn that sux man!! but yeah it definatly depends on the rim AND tire combo. ive had a hard time just getting 225-40s on 10.5 meisters but with a slight blast from the cheetah, these almost aired right up. feddies are extra meaty and easy to stretch though. what kind rims were they though???

wow i think youre the first one to say that. as in stock body and smaller wheels also??? i kinda like that idea too but, i just wanted to do a kit m30 for the hell of it. that and i kinda slid up a driveway and grazed a tree coming back off of the curb trying to avoid 2 cars that spun out in front of me. it blew out the corner of the rear bumper and these cars are pretty hard to find parts for here in hawaii. shipping a bumper with the support would of been more than half of what i paid for the kit so i figured what the hell, might as well go for it. that and ive had about 4 different m30s and they all looked the same so i was kinda over it.

you get the idea gets kinda boring after a while

hopefully when im done with it you may change your view. if not oh wells i like it, cant please everybody. thanks for your sharing your thoughts though.(seriously, not being sarcastic) honestly any opinion is better than none. if someone doesnt like something then that helps give me some ideas on what to start changing up next.

and a BIG THANKS to everyone for the nice words and comments!!!! definatly motivates me alot to get off my a$$ and finish this piece already.

[JVD]

I liked it most at this state. Something about big wide wheels and pull on stock body(no aero) that looked cool.



I'm interested to see what it'll look like all finished up though.

Props for doing something different.

[irregartless]

nice endo

[TheSquidd]

Man.

you are way off.

[dub40sx]

wait... why the fuck are you using a heat gun and magazine if ur shit is primered. Take that blue thing thats holding your car up and jam that in ur fender... then drive.

[ZX88]

[FaLKoN240]

YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

[Z33dori]

that's how my buddies decided the would do it, so it wouldn't dent his fenders on his coupe. AND BAM.... he has mad ugly dents in his new paint now.... so funny

[TheRonTom31]

I dont get how the fender dents like that. I have pulled fenders super ghetto by having dudes stand in the trunk and jump up and down this a stack of newpaper on the wheel and the fender didnt ripple or buckle like that

[tire_machine]

I got the rear fender "dimples" from using a roller and a heat gun, simply because a) I didn't heat the metal enough while pulling or b) I used too much force per roll/pull instead of gradually pulling it out. Or a combination of both.

The metal has internal stresses now...I know one way to get it out is to actually cut the fender and relieve the stress, but is there another solution? I tried pulling it with those plunger dent pullers, no luck. I've heard of inflating a basketball under the dent to push it out...

[robz_11]

dam jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj you mento fahka... hahahaha that shiet look sweet.... love the vid too!!!

we used a piece of wood on the inside of the car to brace the metal and keep it from buckling-just a little scrap of a 2x4 or something. worked okay-mainly just need ALOT of patience.

[dub40sx]

I pulled my fenders a bit.... Started off with rolling um with an actual roller. Then got new wheels and needed a tad pull. So. I decided to jap my jack handel infont of the tire and let the car roll backwards down the driveway. Easiest way to do it by urself for sure. Faster you let the car go the less of a pull you get it seems like. I some how didnt buckel my quarters though.

[Matej]

Just make sure to use plenty of heat and there will be no need to worry about getting the dent. I have pulled my fenders plenty of times and never got it.

However, if you get it, do not despair. I have heard of people being able to pop it out from the inside by inflating a futball/basketball behind the quarter panel.
