Help on wheels selection!

i honestly reccommend 18s, 17s look too small on the cars after awhile...

 

[voidfinger]

17's are nice but you have to have the right lowing springs.

 

[96PonyGT]

well i think im going with 17 but its the width that im having trouble with, maybe i'll just get 17x9's all the way around just to make sure

 

[96PonyGT]

another thing im iffy on is that I have 4.10s and if I get a nitto 555r 315 will I break my axels under hard launches?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Not with your current mods. Obviously if you keep pouring in power eventually you will exceed the capabilities of the stock part's though.

For me it was with a set of stage II heads, cams, and a Paxton Novi 2200 set at 10 psi, I twisted them like a pretzel, on the street.

 

[96PonyGT]

yeah so what did you do about fixing it, is it worth it to get stronger 28? or how do you do 31 spline? I have no idea about rear ends really

 

[Jrgunn5150]

I went to forged 31 spline axles and an Eaton Pro diff with 4.30's. If I wanted a super rearend like Jeff's(Dalamar), I would have the tubes welded, 9" end's put on, 31 spline axles and a Detroit Truetrac diff. Along with a T/A performace diff cover. But that's overkill for most.

 

[96PonyGT]

yea, that sounds like alot of money and I have no clue about rear ends. i will look into it

I like my wheels, go Steeda’s or Cobra’s

 

[96PonyGT]

man im totally going with the fr500 style, ever since I saw them im hooked

man i really like those steeda's. I'm thinking of going with steeda wheels on mine. Super light too right?

 

[96PonyGT]

im not sure about how light they are, sure they are pretty decent tho, and anything is better then the pony rims!!

 

[voidfinger]

i know steeda has light forging or something that suppose to cut a lotttt of weight. Weight makes a big difference for wheels.

315's will fit just flip the quad shock it is 2 bolts each nothing to it.

 

[96PonyGT]

thanks man, thats what I wanted to hear haha and see. Very nice car!

 

[voidfinger]

man gotta love that much ruber, did you have to roll your fenders lips?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

To add a lil something here. I've found that the "real" brands like BFG, Goodyear, Firestone, etc are closer to their staded size, width and height, than the no name brands like Nexum

 

[voidfinger]

Kumho or Sumotomo? how about those?
