Guest Mr. Big Business Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Woohoo! After months of work (few hours here and there) I finally got the Z to the point of actually bolting on my new wheels. Since it went up on the jackstands, I've put on a rear disc conversion, Stage 2 front brakes (http://www.outlawbrakes.com), and GC Coilover kit. Whew. I'm killing myself with the "while I'm at it..." stuff like sandblasting and POR-15'ing the suspension components. Anyway, on the the exciting stuff, like pictures! The front is still in the air, because I'm still waiting on brake hoses, and I only have one front strut installed. Here's the before (w/ coilover, old wheels) After (rear): And the front: Oh, the specs: The are "Rage" wheels, 16x7, with a 4x100 pattern, Front wheel drive offset (they fit a honduh), and I'm using adapters from modern motorsports to make 'em fit. The tires are Kuhmo Ecsta's, 225/50 in the rear, 205/55 in the front. Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted July 1, 2002 Share Posted July 1, 2002 Looks great with the new rims. I went with centerlines two years ago and gave 14" slot mags away. Very Nice! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliments, everybody. It does make all the cursing and busted knuckles worth it when you finally drop it off of the jackstands onto the tires. Especially on a vehicle like this where it's definitely NOT a bolts-on install. I didn't know I was invited to a cook-out! Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted July 2, 2002 Share Posted July 2, 2002 Those look really good Henry, big difference, I love it when you bolt em on, step back and admire NOT HAVING THOSE DARN SLOT RIMS ON THERE!!!!!!!!! No offense to those that have them, mine did for quite a while and they aren't terrible on there, just they must have put thousands of pairs on these cars.
