Slammed Turbo Regal Picture Thread........

except the hard top will be going in for paint, going in Black and coming out Pearl white with black accent. I will be re-placing those darn wheels, that I absolutely hate, as i cant clean inbetween the honeycomb. i will be putting on some 18x9 in front and 18x10 in rear.

Wheels are Intro Westcoast 17x9.5 and 17x8 - backspacing is 4.5 on all four wheels (Intro made mistake, rear was supposed to be 4.75) wish I would have went with 4.0 in front. Tires are Continental Extreme Contact 285/40 & 245/40. Front has Viking coilovers with Howe tall balljoints, rear is Moog 6034 coil spring I think. I forget the exact part number, they weren't meant for a g-body. Rear quarters were trimmed up to the screws by previous owner and I rolled the quarters up slightly with a baseball bat.

If you're running stock brakes now, and you upgrade to a nice set of Baer brakes (Track4?) later, that 4.5" in the front will be just right! :)
 
I have not posted here in a while. But here is my new wheel and tire set up, got a good deal on these 17" Edelbrock 454's off a buddy. They are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. 245/60/17 in the front, and 255/60/17 in the rear, due to the bigger front tires I had to bring the front up about 2"s. I still have to install my blazer spindles to get the front center caps on.

Took my rear coil overs all the way down last night. I think it dropped it about 1.5-2" rides much smoother.

Very nice. I wonder what these would look like if the center between the spokes was painted black, much like the original GN wheels.
Great looking car
 
I used black electrical tape to tape off the centers and it made the spokes appear really thin. I had the black pinstripe added but I think I may have the centers brushed or powder coated silver in the future.

I like those Edelbrock design of the Ford rim but the lack of lip is not as nice as the Shelby rim by AR. I use to have these on my car.
