bubb_rubb Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 Does anyone have a pic or a link to a pic of a Starquest on 18" wheels or larger?? In my 10 years of being a Starion enthusiast I have never seen one. Thanks, Bubb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwelhse Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 There's probably a reason you haven't seen it.. What size is TurboBladz running? 17s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FontanaTSI Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 How about that yellow quest....the one with the Simmons wheels? Anyone got a pic of it? Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenquest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 http://www.circseller.com/roh/CONQUEST21.jpg Not sure what size those are... does anyone know? It looks good... but to be honest... if you're gonna be driving a car of any speed... i'd be affraid... bottoming out or scraping something becuz of a dip or bump could be pretty tragic wouldn't ya think?

FontanaTSI Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 I think someone said that they were 17's front and 18's rear. I dunno :-/ Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenquest Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 yea i was going to suggest the same thing... i wasn't sure if it was because of the angle or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubb_rubb Posted May 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 1) The reason I haven't seen it is Starion/Conquest guys are notoriously cheap ;D 2) That yellow car is a Photoshop job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats an unfair generalization? > Just cause we don't lay out 15k for a platform car to start with doesn't mean were cheap. I'm easy but I'm not cheap! FYI I've got 17's on my car. So LICK-UM! :-* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artinist Posted May 1, 2003 Report Share Posted May 1, 2003 that yellow car is not a photo shop job. you can even easily fit 19s if you have coilovers and it has nothing to do with buttoming out. obiously with you wont be able to go as wide in the front as you could with 17s. i would also guess that the fronts are 17s and 18s in the rear of the yellow car.

Artin, How do you know you can fit 19's if you run coilovers and that it has nothing to do with bottoming out? Have you ever seen 19's on a Starion in person?

Mingo1 Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 There is a guy here in San Antonio, Tx with 18x10 rears and 17's in the front. I don't think he has pics I will ask him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Lazarek Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Why would there be ANY problem of ANY sort with 18" wheels on a starquest? If you think it is because the tires would be too tall think again. You can get 18" tires with a hight within milimeters of stock. With that said there is apparently no problem whatsoever. Why would the starquest have a problem when every single make car on the planet has had 18's or larger on them??? I am getting 19" racinghart M5's for myself, the hight of the tires I am buying will only be .5" taller. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just asked for pics, and then asked how somebody knew if they'd fit. Post pics of your Racing Harts if/when you get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Lazarek Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 Yes of course they will fit given you buy them in the correct offset and bolt pattern. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted May 2, 2003 Report Share Posted May 2, 2003 At the very top of the page in the title pics, you can see a white Starquest just under and to the left of the rim (both doors, hatch and hood are open), if I'm not mistaken that is Fuze's car and it runs 18's all the way around.

Lidoidol Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Sorry no pics but I did run around for a few day's on my buddies 18x10rear 17x9 RH evolution C2's The offset wasnt perfect and the rears rubbed a little but looked awesome. He also had Pirelli Scorpions on them and the car felt like it was on rails!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I am wrong but I think that pic was taken when Fuze still had 17's on it. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted May 6, 2003 Report Share Posted May 6, 2003 I didn't know that ??? I just remember a post of his saying that he had 18's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitamincj Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Yup, he had 17's on and then went to 18's because that is just the kind of guy he is. I just noticed your plate, you coming to any of the Ohio/Mich meets this year? You are only about an hour North of me. ;D I am in Lewis Center right above Columbus.

Quest4Power Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 a local guy runs 18x10 rears and 18x8.5 fronts with no rubbing to speak of. his car is lowered as well with ST springs. can't remember tire sizes offhand, but i believe they are 275/35 rear and 235/40 fronts.

D_Venable Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Eaton is actually right on the Indiana/Ohio border on I-70, If there are any meets in the southwest Ohio region, I would love to come to a meet, but any further than that, I just don't trust my Quest to make it that far. I have a tank full of crud (fuel is still brown when it gets to the manifold) with an extra fuel filter in before the pump so that doesn't get clogged up, but in about a month's time that extra filter gets clogged up and it starts leaning out, but I do have an A/F gauge to tell when its starts to.

artinist Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 you should get a gallery going on www.26liter.us and put up a side view. I am curious how it fills up the fender hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
