What size tyre are you hoping to fit? Thinking of ditching the standard shocks and springs for a set of coilovers? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Thinking of ditching the standard shocks and springs for a set of coilovers? hey dude, nah just gonna go the same slick size just 26 X 10 but on a 8.5" rim this time instead of 7". So on the street should fit a 275 on it. im not doing it for the tyre, im doing it cos i want convo;s on the car lolol Ill try keep the stock shocks etc, but if i have complications i might need to replace. ill keep ya posted!

If your aiming to fit a 275/60/15 et's on the street you will have complications. Before mine got out of hand it started out the same idea, basically you'll need to remove your standard stocks and springs, modify the standard tubs slightly (cut and shut no sledge hammer sh-it),setup new tubular lower arms, setup a good brand coilover and everything should work very well. If you allow a 275/60/15 to fit then you shouldn't have any drama using a 28/10.5 slick for racing. Here are to pictures of how yours should look after your transformation.

lol @ out of hand, i know what you mean I can see that happening. Im just going to take the car to allrace with the rims fitting with 26 X 10" slick and get them to fit it. what ever i can fit on for that street past that i will do. But thanks for the info man, ur car looks good on the convos!

Great write up PROGMH and Paul well done on a mint calais Just tub it u poof Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats what i said! softest **** ever seriously

haha fu.ck up u lot :P

LOL gas i have a set of 275/60 et's on my car, they fitted perfect on besim's car lol

yeh but im trying to get away without modifying my wheel tub + putting the 8.5" convo on it. will see how it goes Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Aren't the 275/60/15's the same size as a 28x9?, so they would fit on a 7 inch rim, but not on a 8.5, same problem i am having with mine, then you have to tub, so you might as well put on a 28x10.5 on a 10 inch rim..lol cheers darren

well apparently u can fit it without modifying the tub. let me see how it goes, not gonna know for a while cos ill get the convertor done first (need to change it, its way too loose doesnt lock up) ill keep ya's posted. but others have done it without tubbing

looks good, came together nice wots the specs on the turbo? looks massive! ROFL sorry couldn't resist Pauly, I did get permission before I posted.

hahahaha at least u got permission thats ok then! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Yeh i would have thought they would fit with just some tubular lower arms, but yeh i ain't a vl big tyre expert cheers darren

well the cars iv seen it done on are VK's so lets hope there isnt much difference lol

I have 275's on the back of mine, very close fit, I need to adjust the bracket for the rear seat belt really, but thats about all.
