Well, here's the newest thing i changed on the car.... A new set of 17x7 wheels and some 225/45ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires..








As ya can see, i REALLY need some bigger brakes!

Lookin good! Hard to believe those TINY brakes actually stop the car, isnt it?

What do those wheels weigh?

[Cliff8928]

wheels are heavy! 24 pounds each (i brought one in the post office and weighed it!)

But the wheels were REALLY cheap.... (the tires cost more!)

Oh, and as for the brakes, ya, I think I'll probably get the BAER upgrade (i think it's 12" rotors?)

You should get clear side markers. How much is the Baer setup? Sounds pricey!!!

[Cliff8928]

hmm... I'll have to think about clear sidemarkers.....

The Baer setup is like 800 somethin per set (they make front and rear)... actually the kit is for the j-bodies but it should work all the same..

wow, those brakes look insanely small behind those rims. What size they stock?

[imported_RebelGT]

i think pre 92 they were 9 inch, and 92+ are just shy of 10 inches.

If I were you, i'd just conver to the caddy brakes, they're big, and alot more cost effective, and replacement bits will be cheaper as well.

[Cliff8928]

Yeah, they're 9 and somethin inches.... The only thing that's of worse is that they were standard on the A-Body cars...

Goddamn those wheels are freakin' sexy. I like the silver and black... I want some wheels like those. Too bad Berettas have different bolt patterns. =/ Goddamn 5X115 bolt pattern. I can't find any sexy 5 spokes for my car, well I kinda like the Voxx ERG's that they sell on www.discounttiredirect.com

What happened to that guy that did the 94+ brake conversion on his Z34? I heard he had the E-Brakes working.

[Cliff8928]

ok, now what will you say that those wheels will also bolt up to your lumina just fine =) well, they're 5x100 and 5x114.3 (does that .7mm make that big of a difference?)

dual-pattern under those centrecaps!

Ask Ben about putting 114.3mm wheels on a 115mm car!

[blk92z34getrag]

I would poop myself if those wheels fit on my car... but I've heard of people having problems with 114.3mm wheels...

[Cliff8928]

Ya, i wasn't too concerned about whether or not it was 114.3 or 115, because, well, I only needed the 100mm set...


This is one of the next planned modifications...
