I was just wondering what tire size would give me the look im looking for you know the one im talknig about the hotrod tilted look i was thinking like 265/60/15 our back and 245/60/15 out front. do you think i could achive the look like that with draglites of corse.anyone have a setup like this or something like it? if you do can you please show me thanks

MrDude_1

theres more then one way to get the "badass" look...

for example, some people thing 3" wide and 11" wide drag wheels look badass... meanwhile others think that 10" wide fronts, and 11" wide rears with it lowered to the ground look badass......



just do what you want and think looks nice... fug the others.

the badass look , id have to say that lowered with 18s and some big tires out back .

knhghs

Trying to throw massive tires on stock wheels generally doesn't come out too well....

what did ya do to the tail lights they look good?

CaysE

They're the Sport Coupe style taillights with the amber blacked out. You could tint it or just move the blinkers and paint it black.

CaptPicardsZ28

I have 275/60/15in the back and 235/60/15 in the front. It made the car look meaner in my opinion after I put on the 275's. Tires are wider and made the car sit up a little in the back.

got any pics?

The look you are reffering to is generally known as the "rake" look.

PhAnToMs

the amber orange part what does the light inside function as? cause that looks sweet and i have those tail lights but with the ugly orange in them

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

a few of the above look like this..........damn sweet!!

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

here is something along the lines of what your thinking...i think.


sorry for the quality but those are 15's out back, i'm sure it would look better with 15's in the front too.

JestahX

The light inside is the turn signal...i do believe you need those to be street legal. Unless you wired the lights to act as stop/turn signal lights.

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

here is what i like, larger wheels so you can have larger brakes. yes you have to have thinner tires but the new dr's out now can hook better then some of the above that look like what was on the car. you get corner handling with a stiffer sidewall, great acceleration and grip for the straights and the large area for brakes with the updated look....

but it isn't for everyone.

PhAnToMs

iTrader: (2)

damn! any idea how to rig that up ? making i guess the red a turn signal and break and lights at night ?

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

just because you want wide tires doesn't mean you have to settle for having them stick outside of the car....

heres a rear shot of 295/35/18.

Kandied- I know you know the rules. This isn't the first or even third time I've removed images from your posts. Three uploaded images per thread means just that. You have a cardomain site, use it. Thanks.

295, how wide is that rim...can u squeeze that tire on a 9 or ten inch wheel....

omnipotentgoku

iTrader: (1)

If this is the "badass" look you speak of, you cant buy it any where... you gotta be born bad...

Big ups to Mr. T, a childhood hero.



Now dats a bad ****..

omnipotentgoku

iTrader: (1)

Perhaps something like this though...seriously.
17's up front, 18's in the rear. Barely noticeable...

FIRECHICKEN

iTrader: (3)

Hey Candied.

What rims are those and what size specs? Are all the tires 295s?

123jon321

Hey omnipotent, are those 17/18's a photoshop or real? If its real thats the first 17/18" combo that I've seen that doesnt look like crap, in fact it looks damn good

I have an eibach prokit on and even though it lowered an 1 or so, it has a little "rake" to it. the rear sits an inch higher than front. It still has 16x8 iroc rims on it with 245 tire. I personally like the even lowered look all the way around and would have liked an extra half inch lowered if possible but it is not very practical as scraping does occur underneath. It does make you shutter at the sound.

But the little rake in the stance looks "mean", "badass", etc.
That me but maybe you would like this. Found it on this site. Forget who it was though.

Kandied91z

iTrader: (7)

that picture with you always kills me.......



the only thing i don't like about the 17/18 is the fact that you almost have to "rake" the suspension to make the gaps even. the body wasn't designed for that type of setup so otherwise it looks funny when at certain angles and especially while rolling down the road.

Charged350, that's a 18x10" rear rim. yes you could squeeze it on a 9 i suppose although your ride will suffer. you should put the right size tire for the right rim and in that case your offset/backspacing if sat right should sit the same with any of the common wheel widths.

FIRECHICKEN if your asking about the last picture i posted those are the rims on my car now. boze stinger model and no it isn't 295 all around. i'm running 245/40/18 up front, it's pointless for a street car to have that wide of a tire up front and with how i like to lower the car it's impossible to run that wide upfront. you can get away with a 275 width and have some lowering but any wider and your asking for troubles.

for my setup i wanted the wheels and tires in the exact stock location, not only fits better i think but i can have full suspension travel at any height. also if i really wanted to throw something extreme on the car i've got room to work with a fat tire on a smaller rim much like the first pic i posted which was a 15x10 rim setup.

TransAm12sec

Are you talking about the look where the rear is jacked up?

automec

how bout this one (i kinda like it)

mike

Air_Adam

15" Cragar S/S wheels (15x8 and 15x10), drop the nose 2", leave the rear height stock, get some white lettered tires like Radial T/As or something, and a REALLY hairy sounding exhaust system.

antivtec69

I dont think the rake look is that good looking when the car has ground effects. If you had a SC without ground fx and you gave it a rake with some fat tires out back it would look good. Id show you a pic of my mustang with a slight rake look but i dont want to ruin the post by putting an ugly car in it. even though it does have the "badass" look that i think you are going for.

FLYNLOW92rs

I sure hope you aren't planning on throwing some massive drag tires on the car and doing the rake look, while you still have the 305 in the car......or at least gonna replace it sometime soon....

Oops, how about I attach the pic this time!

ddn69

I think this is the basass look your looking for? I know I love the look of big wide tires out back less wide up front. dual dual exhausts looks nice too. If you want a badass look get some draglites or whatever theyre called they look like Outlaw 1s. Outlaw 1s are cheaper though. Get a big ol blower on it. Not the blower with the hood scoop but a actual 3 red valve blower would look nice. tint it out, and put a roll bar in it. Woops doesnt that kinda not show through the tint. Then you could always get lightly tinted. Hope to see some pix of your ideas, photoshops etc.

Its real...







I had to switch to the cragars for a while as one of my C5 rims got bent. I've recently aquired another one ($65 bux!! not bad for a rim!) and put the C5's back on.

heres a pic of my 275/60/15's in back and 235/60/15's in front. Its the best pic I got for now as my driveway and yard are full of cars.
