Default Fresh Meats! 315s on FM5s

Picked up another set of FM5s

Now I have 4 17x9.5s and 2 17x11s all on BFG T/As

Enjoy!

Took these with my shitty point and shoot just to give you guys a taste.





Yes thats Austin Powers. Garage is a mess since I moved back in. Atleast theres a 12bolt laying in there.










No rubbing or fender rolling. Lowered with Koni's and Strano Springs.

Thanks!

No its the corsa clones from afterthoughts matched with GMMG clone chambered mufflers.

I'm still not happy with the exhaust set up. I'm probably gonna revamp it soon.

Not feeling the tips cause I feel like they are a little small. The real corsa's are slightly larger. Dunno what to do!

Car looks killer dude. Suggest maybe a CETA panel? The rims are perfect and the stance well...I'm biased

I had the Borla on my car and sold it in favour of a Magnaflow but I'm still toying with the idea of running a dual setup with my Powerstick chamber's. Any shots from the side to get a profile?

I've gotta say i think that's one of the best tire wheel setup i've come across! Is that rearend stock length or narrowed? also if u don't mind offset and tire sizes?

Where did you find the old tread T/A? I thought they didn't make those any more? Lookd great, I wish I could afford a set of those.

I've been thinking about a true dual set up or a nice merge into a 4" cutout but not too sure about mufflers. Probably magnaflow. Not sure on tips but I do like dual dual.

Thats funny you say CETA because I was gonna say "inb4 CETA mod" because I'm gonna do it very soon. I have the powerstick chambers now. I'm still a bit indifferent about them but they do sound good overall. I'll get a side profile tomorrow for ya.

Thanks dude! Stock rear. I have a stock length 12 bolt going in soon. It's sitting next to the car you can even see it in the one pic. Not sure of the offset but I do think its 35. As for tire size 315/35/17 rear and 275/40/17 front.

They have! I actually got the wheels and tires from a guy close by who has had them for years. They have maybe 200 miles on them (wheels and tires) if even that.

I had a set before and thats why I asked. They look SICK on 17x11 because the tread is so wide. I measured my sumitomos at 12.2" wide, my BFG T/A's were 13.5" wide on the same wheel. I want to try to dig up a set for when I buy 17x11 for my formula.
