New C6 Wheels/Tires & Lowered
Lots of pics. Dial-up beware. :D
Got me some new, (to me), C6 silver painted wheels. Fronts: 18x8.5....Rears: 19x10. (Using 1.5" wheel hub-centric adapters, rear only) http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...3/P4020308.jpg Brand new tires to go on them. Hankook V12s Fronts: 255/40/18....Rears: 285/35/19. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...3/P4020314.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...3/P4020316.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/g...3/P4020318.jpg I had a bad, lower ball-joint on the driver's side. So, while I had the front end apart any way, I pulled the spring out and shaved the top pads down by 1/2" and the spring pads on the ends were shaved 50%, as well. I also had to cut down the spring retainers 1/2" to eliminate any slop around the spring. (Sorry, no pics of any of the work done) :hide: On the rear, I re-drilled the holes in the spring bolts as close to the end as I safely could for the cotter-pins. That let me extend the nuts about 7/8". It doesn't sound like much, but it dropped the car enough for the tire to fill out the wheel-well nicely. :yesnod: |
Here Are The Results
For comparison. ;)

Looks nice, how do the Hankooks ride? My son has them on his Infiniti and loves them.
|
One of the nicest C4s on the boards.:cool::cool:
|
Very nice not to far from you on southside of Indy
|
Lookin' good! :cool:
|
They really fill up the wheel well nicely. Did you have to get a 1.5" spacer, would a 1" work? It looks like the tires stick out a little.

Lowered makes the wheel fit so much better and really sets off the look of your car, nice job. :thumbs:

A 1" adapter would have been a better choice, but I got a good deal on these. They look like they stick out more in the pics than in person. :)

The shot of the back of the car looks GREAT. :cool:
|
Looks great, and you'll LOVE the V12's! I had them on my C5 and I miss them more than I miss the C5.
|
Very sharp!
|
Love the look!
|
Looks much better.
