Thanks everyone. I'm patiently waiting for ups today for my springs so I can update it! its a nova in the garage, but that thing has been sitting for a few decades....

I need some opinions with tire sizes. I don't want crazy aggressive stretch I like the mild look, but need clearance.

Fronts I'm thinking 215/35 on 8.5" wheel


Rears 235/40 10"

I'm just worried the rear is going to be too big.... not a whole lot of great options in 17"

 

no 235/35 options?

 

i suggest 205/35 on a 8.5
my buddies 205/35 on a 8.0 has barely any stretch

Nankang tires

 

235/35 seems to not be made in 17", but ok thanks dranom I will have to look at some pictures.

Got one side done today. spacers needed small ones at least...

 

some 5mm spacers maybe?

 

yeah I'm going to pick up small spacers for the front and back along with extended bolts. Now I just need to figure out what lug to run

 

Paint it OB lol

 

That car's got to be smiling inside with the new suspension, coming along nicely!

 

Spent 118$ on extended ARP wheel studs..... Better last a few lifetimes haha. Anyways I'm making some purchases today what do you guys think?

Project Kics R40 NEO Chrono Lug Nuts since they go with everything really.

I still can't get a decent tire combo and its killing me. Not crazy stretch, but just mild. adhathjryhag

 

Great build . You are doing a great job.

 

Depends on the color of your car after you're done and on those wheels.. idkkkk hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm



With those wheels.. red would probably look pretty badass.

 

Thanks^ and the wheels and car are in the air about final color choice so neo is great, plus I can resale them for a high price. Anyways bought them so now I just need to get the tires

 

Took me 2 days to get these wheel studs out. RED loctite is serious business took some torching and grinding and paint stripper, but almost done







This is with 15mm spacer up front. now I should have ZERO clearance problems.

 

hella bad *** progress!!

 

thanks^!
