evildky Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 FFTD= Fast Fendered Time of the Day, basically removing the open wheel formula cars from the equation, some tracks favor them to a degree while others do not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest w00t Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 So the fronts are 5'' and the rears are 5.25? Just making sure because I am probably going to go the same size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 yes thats the current backspacing, the rears could handle 5.5 backspace easy, when I get a chance I intend to measure to see just how much is possible, I think 5.75 is max, also note I am running 8" free length coils which makes the pearch higher than the top of the tire, with a 10" free length coil I suspect 5.25 is the limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Count Grantleyish Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Damn... So hot! Couple questions, 1, What offset are these rims sitting on? 2, Does it rub with the arches or other things? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildky Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 here si a pic someone took at the autocross (40 degrees and not enough straight line traction to get up to speed) and yeah I got a cone I had to cut a lot of material, about 3 inches above the wheel arch and about as much on the forward side fo the fender including the valance, the valance was a last minute addition which also required trimming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutthehutt Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I like the stance, that looks like one tough car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evildky Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 were not actually thinking about paint now are we? well, if you are give me a hollar man, a guy i work with will do it on the side for cheap paint, maybe next year, when I get to that point I'll let you know i was curoiuse, when you turn your front wheels, how close do the tires come to the fender in the front corner? mines is about the same distance and they rub like crazy... the fronts had to be clearanced, I removed about 3 inches of fender and valance to allow for full lock to lock turning with the suspension fully loaded and articulated as far as the 440lb springs would allow, and for what it's worth I'm thinking 350 lb's for the rear, I thin the extra give might allow for better straight line traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
