ehh not a fan of those new rims and tires
Can you elaborate on the problems with the E30 wheels? There are two different styles on Craigslist for cheap that I thought would look great on a 3g, but after reading around I thought they wouldn't fit a 3g, but yours looked good. How was handling affected by the different offset? Any problems making u-turns with the increased scrub?

I like the new wheels with the new stance, especially with the OD, but the cheap white walls need to go ASAP. Ditch the tire paint and you've got a winning combo.
they weren't really that bad but i wanted to go real low and they rubbed a bunch of points in the fender. handling wasn't affected that i could tell at all. and yeah at full lock the tires rubbed the front and back of the fender wells. nothing major, but not good to dump the car on.Quote:

I like the idea youre going for definitely but I think there is room for improvement with minor details.
whoa. thats a whole different look. I see the white wall sence coming in thou.
Alright that new wheel and tire combo is growing on me :slap: even though I still think a normal tire would look better. New stance is great though :thumbup:
i know they peeled guys. they're ultra bald and i just wanted to see what they'd look like. ideally, i want some black tire between the beauty ring and the white wall, and some black tire on the outside of the white too. but that would have required tape and time, and again, they're bald old tires. but thanks for the comments!

Haha I'll admit it's grown on me, not bad man :thumbup:
thanks!
i'm not even done. sooo much more to come!
and i'm bound and determined to be the lowest static dropped, daily driven 3g on this site. goin lower and cutting out my upper fender well frame so the upper ball joint can come up into the engine bay and stop bottoming out.
F tires.
Same here but it would look 1000x better if the whites are all even.Quote:

I'll be getting K-sports for the future hatch. I have certain plans with it that I wont have to worry sooooo much about bottoming out everywhere. Im going to love the dumpedness
well as long as its to accomplish a goal i guess i'll allow it.Quote:

1 gallon antifreeze
1 tube of quicksteel
zipties
4 quarts oil
and possibly an oil pan... for when i put a hole in mine.
How much lower are you going?
all the way. i'll probably have to cut my mud flaps, because they're already under an inch away from touching the ground just on level pavement.
and in local news, my flex pipe looks like a 15 year old kitty pole in a senile old lady's house. its half torn out, and i drove home with my exhaust hanging at an angle and dragging the ground last night. its going to the exhaust doctor tomorrow to get fixed and tucked up higher so i can get a little closer to terra firma. and finally installing that cherry bomb glass pack... as my sole muffler...
i <3 this car.
the other day at a traffic light i noticed a 50's chevy pickup, flat black, lowered, and rolling on some cragar knock-off wheels pull up next to me. the guy (a dude in his 50's or 60's) stopped short just to sit parallel to my car, stare at it, and blatantly shake his head. i looked over and smiled then he pulled forward the rest of the way. if you have haters, you're doing something right! but so far the general consensus is that its pretty badass. i'm just having fun and making the most of it!
You need to upload new pics!

overall, it didn't look too bad except for the exhaust, so i'm goin lower for sure. just have to find the time of day. and the cherry bomb on the stock piping sounds great!
side note- saw this dude on the interstate and we drove next to each other for a while staring at each other's cars. it was pretty sweet. i would love to know what the surrounding traffic thought of us hahaha
