speedyquest Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I'm guessing that not many smaller wheels will fit due to where the brake caliper is. That would be the first thing to foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlosFley Posted July 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 Ohh yeah?? Awesome!! I'm thinking of running 15s possibly, maybe 14s. Fat too. 10 or 11 inches. Possibly even 12s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedyquest Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I think a 15" rim will have issues filling our wheel wells AND not look like truck tires. As Robert would say 4x4 mode activated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mopar jon Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Seriously?? Is it just me or is this whole negative camber about as cool as having your underwear sticking out of your baggy shorts?Whats the deal here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Anything over 3 degrees negative camber is stupid and serves zero performance gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jszucs Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 THANK YOU!!!! FINALLY someone who understands what I'm trynna do! Yeah but there is no way those are 10 or 11 wide rims. That's going to be a rare find and look like what they use to do to Geo Trackers in the early 90's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlosFley Posted August 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Yeah but there is no way those are 10 or 11 wide rims. That's going to be a rare find and look like what they use to do to Geo Trackers in the early 90's That's perfectly fine sir, my plan isn't to become a track slt like Convette, although I highly admire his work and wish to one day acquire his wide body kit. A rare find Indeed, to a certain extent but aren't our cars a rare find themselves I'm not familiar with said Geo Tracker look from the 90's. My inspiration is Shakotan culture from good ol' rising sun country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
