Here she is wearing 15x3.5 Prostars in the front with a 165r15 metric radial and 15x8 Prostars in the back with Hoosier 26x9 slicks.

No spacer in the back with a lot of grinding. Spacer in the front with no grinding whatsoever. ARP studs all the way around.

You know what they say, or atleast what I say? Once you go slick, you hate street tires. Looks good man. Have fun hooking. Ah, the joys of WOT in first gear.

I agree it is nice to hook but it is also about just as fun to go back to street and spin some.

I drove around for a week on my ET streets and absolutely HATED going back to street tires. What's worse is that i'm rolling on F1 Supercars and they absolutely SUCK for traction :( If I had a second car I would definitely keep the fats and skinnies on the car at all times lol

prostars look soo good. i know their not as "high quality" as bogarts but they look the best!

Id like to get some, but id like my fronts to be civic sized at least i think its x5 or something.

what are most of you guys running the 15x8's or the 10's?

FastZ

Nice pics guys! I've seen a lot of guys using both sizes. The 15x8's generally require less modification than the 15x10's. That may be why some people use them...i.e. me. However, the 15x10's let you run a bigger tire. I am hoping to get my suspension set up so that I don't need a bigger tire!

Bogarts are sweet but high $$$. However, they don't require modification.

Mine are 15x8. I just figured I wouldn't need any bigger wheel or tire for my car.

I used a spacer for the fronts. I believe it was a 7/16" spacer.

thats because you have an lt1 and your calipers are smaller

here are some pics of 15x10 in the rears with 28" rear tire

steve do you think eventually the website could get away from using the mouse over the pic method to view it? Every time I want to look at a car on the far right it cuts half of it off.

steve do you think eventually the website could get away from using the mouse over the pic method to view it? Every time I want to look at a car on the far right it cuts half of it off.

We set the mouse-over option as it is easier to view. Instead of having to click each picture to view it, then having to click back to go back to where you were last OR have to close a window, you just mouse over any picture you want and view it. It is a much easier way to view multiple pictures.

The web developer mentioned that some folks may have problems viewing them depending on what screen or screen resolution that they use. I believe it is set to accept standard screen res and screen sizes. I know there are no computers here that can't view the whole pictures (any any computer that I have ever viewed). We could also make the images smaller, but then some may complain about not being able to see it clearly since we need to keep the files small for those dial-up folks.

I have had on ocasion some folks mention the same as you. If you did not notice, if you move the curser to a different side of the image, the picture will re-position itself on the screen If that doesn't work, my suggestion is to adjust your screen resolution by going into start/control panel/display then click settings tab and adjust the screen slider resolution.

Nope changing the screen resolution doesn't help I maxed it out at 1600/1200 and it was no different. Its just the pictures on the right, when I move the cursor over them it opens the picture up and only half of it is showing. So then I have to scroll over to the right to see the rest and some times the screen will auto center itself because I moved the cursor over another pic while I was trying to view the pic on the right. Anyways its no big deal, I still ordered my bogarts regardless of having a hard time to view the pics on the right. I should have them 2 or 3 weeks from now.:)

what browser are you using? If your using firefox, what version?

wow when I use explorer it does auto center, now I think the way its set up is a great idea.

I brought this conversation up with our web developer, she mentioned that this was a known issue 1.0.3 and below, however there was a bug fix in 1.0.4 that remediated this issue.

Apparantly, the upgrade, re-broke this problem again. Until a patch is released for firefox, you'll need to go to the horizontal page scroll, scroll it over to the right then mouse over the image.

btw, i'm glad that you like it. I think that it really works out best. It has fast load times, no clicking is involved...switching between pictures are simple and you don't get lost from the original page.
