the only problem i have with doing bags again is that i don't like how you have to tuck the rear wheel inside the well. with the shape of the quarters swooping outwards these car look soooooo good with a wide wheel and tire poking out just a tad imo. can't do that with bags.

Cobra IRS + Bags = Success?

Glad to see you got another GT, can't wait to see what you do with it.

my idea setup would be around a 19x11 with about a 295/30-35 tire that sits EXTREMELY flush maybe even poking out just a tad. while being low. impossible though i think :undecided:

Not impossible, just need to go widebody or tub it. Then you could run something really crazy like 19x13's lol





Edit: Here's a shot of my buddies 13" wide wheels for some inspiration :laughing5:

well i got my 3.73's in last tuesday. drove straight home from babbit racing (where they were installed) because 1....it was raining like a biitch...2...cause i could NOT get the fn thing to stop chirping every time i let off the clutch.

drove it around yesterday for a while and got the feel for the sweet spot in the clutch lol.

i know a lot of people think these cars are dogs and super slow but i gotta say this thing fn pulls hard! i'm loving it!

Those tires got some grip to tear up the street like that.

lol, yea there's some spots where dirt is. thats why ya see the dust flying for a sec. i just need to find a flatter cleaner street and post another video :rolleyes:

i argued on fb for half an hour cause people thought it was either a dirt road or gravel road ha! i live in the city...we have no dirt or gravel roads...just bumpy broken concrete here and there.

Correction "live in Ohio" and have no dirt or gravel roads.......I swear I have never seen that many paved roads for being a rural area.......

18x11 I think [MENTION=18581]SIC9250[/MENTION] has here with the IRS with 335 tires.

This is what I am considering once I get around to rebuilding and installing my IRS, maybe some 18x11 CCW's
