OlderThanMe Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Larry, Looks great! How much clearance do you have from the stock springs/perches? I'll be getting a pair of those before too long to mount on my Diamond racing rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting a pair of those before too long to mount on my Diamond racing rims. Clearance is between 1/4 and 1/2". I'll be test driving them till Monday to look for any issues. The car seems to track better but that may be all in my head... LARRY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 So Larry, now that you've got these fancy rims and tires, you're gonna make it to the next SEZ event in March, right? I mean, if Dr. Hunt can make it from Socorro, NM, surely you can make it from TX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fender will sit down on your tire and smoke like hell if the fender doesnt totally clear when she squats. I had to cut up the fender a little but I have over fenders so not noticeable. I remember when I was testing them I could smoke em for about a quarter mile..I thought wow i gained 300 HP by changing to MTs hahahaha. Actually it was the tire being ate up by the fender squat...Still looked pretty cool...lol. MIne is a 240 and the 280 my provide more clearance...let us know!!!

Z-Gad Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Looks awesome!! Any chance you cold do me a favor and measure the inner diameter of the rim? I am looking for a 15" wheel that will clear my brake calipers... I require a 14" inner diameter to clear the Wilwood rears... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Z-Gad, If the Draglites won't work, Rota Rb 15X8 should clear your wilwood brakes. Not sure how you feel about running a cast wheel though. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=123375 http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=123538 Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
