Well I finally took the plunge and got some wheels and tires of my car. I ended up going with the classic 17" CCW setup, with 275/315 BFG TA KD tires. The car is going off to get corner balanced and aligned with significantly more camber next week. Yes I know the car is dirty and I did get around to putting the center caps in too.

Ooooh, me likee!! :bigthumb:

Looks familiar. :stickpoke

You ever figure out what was causing the Driver's rear to leak down? Was it the seal inside the rim or did that tire shop f*ck it up?

I love that setup.

Yea I was pretty pissed about it so I took it to CCW and they pulled the tire off and the shitty tire place tore out the silicon bead when they were mounting the tire. :madf: But John over at CCW was nice enough to fix it free of cost and he gave me a tour of the facility. That place is badass, I will post up some pictures that I took so you can see the rows upon rows of wheels.

After going to CCW and seeing all the different color and texture choices for the centers I wasn't positive I wanted polished but I am really happy with it now that its on the car. I'm sure I will change it if I get bored after a while. But yea I don't think this rim will ever go out of style.

What suspension are you on? Any fender mods on it (I'm sure there is)? How did you get 275's to fit in the front?

Lol, sorry to be shooting questions, nice setup.

I run tein HA's with the stock spring rates currently. I had to shave the fenders in the rear, remove all of the bolts in the front fender and pretty drastically raise the ride height so it doesn't bottom out when I am at speed. The 275/40's fit but I think its a little bit too tall of a tire, a 275/35 would probably work a lot better.

looks good mike, I bet you cant wait to test them out around the road course.

 

[IMAGINETHAT]

They look nice, I take it you decided not to sell?

 

[bigmike]

Been waiting for pics. They look awesome on your car.

Now clean the car you slackass.

Under hard driving the rear must rub. Have you driven it real hard yet with that set-up on?

Yea I had to raise the car uper on every corner to stop it from rubbing but it doesn't anymore. And yes I have driven it hard with this setup, last night I was pulling wheels off the ground testing it out.

Looks great, polished centers definately look good on your color.

 

[jdmuscle]

Hey, I dont mean to change the subject or steal the thread, but I was wondering if the 18x10f, 17x11.5r road race set-up with the BF Goodrich g-force T/A KDW's fit on a stock bodied MKIII? I have pretty much narrowed down my wheel choice to these since this setup is ultimately the best street racing setup.... I think....

Thank you.

 

[Kyle87T]

also if this is not too much trouble to ask...

What is the difference between track, street, and race models except for ARP bolts, and centercaps? the website can get a little confusing and I am not sure what comes with which.

Thank you again.

very nice setup...classics are by far my favorite wheels
