Thats a sweet wheel! Looks like the wheels used on the Man-racer car on the FRPP cataloge.

I sure wish someone would make an 18x10.5 or 11 version of the Shelby GT500 wheel to run on the rear with the new 315/30/18 MTs.....

That looks really good. Have you found any problems w/ running different sized rims? Also, I love your sig.

Shouldn't be any problem running different size rims as long as the overall diameter is the same.

I know there shouldn't be, I'm asking if there is. Handling, etc. or any oddball stuff from someone who's running different sized rims on their car.

Hey hawg, you got any more pics of that car? Maybe a pic from the other side where the sun is behind you so that I can see the tire-fender gaps? Also what size tires are you running? And what (if any) suspension mods?

No, I really need to take some more pictures one of these days. Made quite a few exterior changes to it since these were taken.

This is all I have other than a couple of shots from the rear. Tires are 235/55/17 on front, 305/45/18 on the rear.

Ton of suspension mods, but stock springs if that is what you are wanting to know. It has BMR LCAs, BMR UCA, Tubular K member, and sway bar delete.





No problem at all running different size rims. And no, the overall diameter is not the same. Rear is almost an inch taller than the front. Now don't get me wrong, if I go in to a corner at a hundred mph you can tell that I have wideass tires on the rear. But I didn't set the car up for hundred mph corners.

I think I may have found my set-up. Nice. If you do get some more pics with the sun to your back, please let me know!

Well, it isn't much, but at least it is a clear picture without the shadows.
I just picked up a Saleen hood today and was fitting it and trying to decide on whether or not to repaint it, what to do with my existing stripes, etc., and I snapped a side view pick for ya.

Ya know... you are the 2nd person to suggest that. I just don't know if I am diggin' the the Camaro Rally Sport look though.

Someone else said leave the hood and paint the rear spoiler the color of the hood.
