Hope your dog gets better soon Pat. Always liked the rally wheel on early C-3's. Those fill up the wheel wells nicely.

Well im gone to have to use my 15x10 rallys
Looks like ill have to run my 10 inch rallys in the back and 8 's in the front for now.Im ready to buy 17's but my dog is real sick and its gone to cost approximatley 700 a month to start for meds and blood work every week.So rim and tires are off till christmas.Im mounting up the 10's this morning at work and ill use them, itll still look good filling up the flares.Oh well my dog is more important then the car.

Re: Well im gone to have to use my 15x10 rallys (patsnitrovette)
Presently have a Diabetic Cat that cost us a small fortune to figure out what has gone on in medical bills, damages, etc.. Plus he once ate something that resulted in exploratory surgery to the tune of $500 smackers. We think it was a tuna bone that pierced his bowel.
What can you do, you love em and can't/won't give up on em.
Now he's healthy again and gained all his weight back and gets the insulin shot 2x daily + diabetic menu.

The car will wait. Hope the dog gets better; at least you are doing all you can for him/her.

whats the backspace on your 10" rallys? check mine out in the sig with 5" backspace. I run original 77 alum slots now with 255/60/15s for the street and am thinking of mounting some Bush style Goodyear racing slicks 27/10/15s on the rallys. They look damn cool.
P.S. I spent over 4 grand on my dog when he had cancer.

yeah ive spent a few thousand already but shes worth it,there 15x10 with 5 inch backspacing with 275/60/15 tires.Im thinking when its time for the 17's i can fit a 11 inch rim under it.im assuming you moved your ebrake bracket too.How close are you to your spring.

One time i did over lower the rear and cut a tire.
get rid of those 275/60s and run 295/50s like i did they're wider and lower and cooler looking :thumbs:
I'll let you know how the race tires work.

I hope the dog gets better. I too am a pet lover and almost had to have my 14 year old dan put down last week but he pulled through and is hopefully arouund for the summer. I need his help with the yard.
You are a real considerate pet owner. My hat is off to you Pat. :thumbs: :thumbs:

I admire you for choosing your dog over your car, there are a lot of people that would simply have the dog put down.
My rottie has been ill for some onths too, he became crippled in the rear and the vet said it was either artrosis or multiple sclerose and that since the dog is already 13 it's best to put him down. I didn't beliee this (and he didn't check the dog very thoroughly) so I went to a whole bunch of other veterinerians and it turns out the dog has hypoglycaemia (he had 34pnts in his blood, 7 pnts allowed) Now he's doing much better, he's walking again, he's very active and is basically back to his old self with just a slight limp (most likely brain damage). I'm just glad I still have him, money no isseu :)

Re: Well im gone to have to use my 15x10 rallys (Twin_Turbo)
Pat.... really sorry to hear about your dog.... Which one is it?? I forget their names, but was it the older one that you have or the one you got last year sometime?
Anyway, the car still looks great with the Rallyes filling in those huge fenders. Good deal on the sidepipes too..... where are the pics highlighting the sidepipes??!!!
Best of luck with the dog tho... :blueangel:
