Group Beige Turbo LS Swap

Thanks! The plates are great. You never have to renew them!
I installed my bne plates ontop now and cut the pattern. I need to clean them from being ran under the tower but it sure allows for a lot of camber and caster which is great, more of both than I really will ever need.

ok well I raced it Friday and did very very well considering the tires I have, I managed a 13.3 at 109.87 with a 60 foot time of 2.07 that 60' time really magnifies my traction issue. I was using 10 yes 10 year old street tires. With slicks or even a grippy street tire I expect a 12.5 pretty easy from the car.

Picked up the real BBS lm's wasnt expecting to keep the centers gold. But it seems to really work with the beige, I love how it turned out! they are 17x8 17x9 from japan in 5x114.3 perfect for the 8.8!

I don't recall saying they were not. Anyhow they only clear my breaks by 1mm, That's somthing ill need to adress, not sure what approch yet but I'd like to do somthing.
edit, Tires are mounted not the ideal size 225 45 17, should atleast have 235 in back. I have had these tires around far to long they are around 7-10 years old again but I need to use them up.

Thinking about reverse mounting the rims for more offset

Looks awesome!!:D
Agree With you, the gold color really fits the beige!
There is alot of offset to get on reverse mounting the centers, have some pics of it in my thread. But if Your Wheels are like mine you need longer bolts when reverse mounting!
 
Thanks! I messed with the rear ride height and got it where I wanted. I also took a picture of the rear caliper clearance. Its only 1-2mm picture makes it look worse.

Or what happens if you hit a Bump and deform the rim that much it blocks with the caliper... ... oncoming traffic... ... hello..
