Attachment 26887

what do i need to do? lower it more? go to a 30 from a 35? get something other than a DR?

looks 18'' to me bro.

stang00 08-23-2006 08:27 PM

i think it is because they are black black rims always look smaller to me cause they blend in with the tire

Hey Bad fish who and where did u get ur rear bumper?:offtopic: Sorry

Slither 08-23-2006 08:41 PM

I agree with the black comments. Different colors look different. They don't really look like 17s in the rear but the front does. Trade me :salook:

1 BAD S 08-23-2006 08:41 PM

i would go to a 35 just to take up more of the wheelwell. on your second pic your front looks like 18, your back just shows alot of space between the fender and the tire just cuz the angle. the first pic looks no doubt 18

Badfish 08-23-2006 08:42 PM

they are both 35

MattJ 08-23-2006 08:42 PM

frame looks bent to me...

I agree. I hear SC adds and 2" drop on the car and a 2" growth in your pants.

Badfish 08-23-2006 09:10 PM

lol, then you wont have to worry about fixing your frame, cuz you'll be riding on it then

Badfish 08-23-2006 09:32 PM

my theory is; i need a drop so it looks like the wheels are bigger because it fills more fenderwell

Slither 08-23-2006 09:38 PM

I actually want to drop mine another 1 1/2" but dont want to screw the Roush up

DarkSith 08-23-2006 09:39 PM

I agree with most of the others, it's probably because the wheels are black. Just get some supersports and see if it fixes your problem.

Wow another 1.5, what kind of springs do you have now?

Slither 08-23-2006 09:46 PM

This is the look I want.

That looks nice as hell, but definantly not practical.

venom 08-23-2006 10:11 PM

I have seen my car with bullitt springs and my 18s look smaller since my car is raised from my old Eibachs. You may want to lower it more which I may do if LT headers allow it.

Exactly!!!

Or even some Sportlines.My Cobra has at least a 2 inch drop.It sit's damn low and the 18's really fill the gap.

I agree with the black rims making it look smaller they look like 18's too me but i think my rims look to small sometimes too and i have 18's as well. I think more of a drop would help.
