mistapickles Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah, that looks good. When the next layer of clear goes on it re-wets the clear and it shines deeper because the clear is thicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistapickles Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Project Porsche Handling has started...I got a lower radiator support off a 2008 Dodge Ram. I'm going to weld it in between the rear strut towers.http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/mistapickles/image-30_zpsacdfa61d.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistapickles Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 I got my tires 255 50/16R. BF Goodrich g-sport. Fatties and I love them.

mistapickles Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Probably the camera angle, they're a little tall but definitely for a sports car, can't wait to get them on the road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Venable Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 just an fyi, your not gonna be able to lower the rear of the car much with a tire that tall (over an inch taller than any of the stock recommended sizes), you'll bottom the tire out in the inner fender structure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 looks good, I would drop the front another 1". then spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technology Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 A 225/50 which iirc is the stock 8" rear size is about 1.5" shorter than a 255/50, which you have. They are taller than stock Not that it matters. If you like it, then it doesn't matter what we say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
