I have searched the forum quite a bit searching for different tires/wheel combos and suspension setups and I have found a few pictures, but not very many with the specs listed. It would be cool if those of you with modded suspension out there posted a picture of your car's "stance" and included the specifics of what it is lowered on and the size wheels and tires along with backspacing. This thread could turn into a good sticky if we get a lot of posts. Just an idea, thanks, IN THE SPIRIT OF THE TREAD Can all who post pic of there vette please include suspension specs and wheel/tire size?

Eddie & the Cruisers

The '73 I just bought has: Original wheels

Fronts: P235/60R-15 a bit shorter (-1.3 dia) and 0.39 wider than original P225/70R-15

Rears: P255/60R-15 a bit shorter (-0.35 dia) and 1.18 wider than original P225/70R-15 and less than 1 mph at 65 mph diff.

This drops the front about an inch and makes the rears look a lot bigger due to the width. No diff. in wheel to wheel well clearance.
Don't have a good pic.

255/50-17 rear tires
245/45-17 front tires

I had the 255's on the front as well, but they hit the fenders so the swap was a must.

Also, I had to install 10" spring bolts in the rear to bring the body down.

The springs are still settling a bit, but the stance is getting better.

hey what size are you tires, wheels, what are you lowered on?

riggs 74

Here is what I'm running and so are a lot of others on the forum.

Front - 17x8 with 4'' back space wrapped with 245/45/17 Toyo T1R setting 2'' lower by way of cut coils.

Rear - 18x10 with 5.5 back space wrapped with 285/40/18 Toyo T1R setting 2'' lower by way of 8'' spring bolts.
The rear spring was also narrowed 3'' but really only needed to narrow it by 2''



Hope this helps,
Riggs.

X2 specs please. really like the rake on your stance. any more pics?

The car was actually raised 1" in the back on that previous pic. I have 10" bolts in the rear, 1.5 Coils cut on 460 springs. 255/45ZR17 tyres on 17X8 wheels with 4"bs.

Here is the car dropped all the way down in the back. It's actually too low and you have to be extra cautious when driving. Kind of a pain in the azz, but it looks cool. I don't road race the car, so it doesn't really matter.

Blackkaz04

cool. Keep em coming guys.
