I actually took abou 500 pics today b/c I havnt had it out in soo long and my new wheels look SWEEEET! I spent about 4 hours taking my tailpipes off and polishing them too. Very excited for warm weather again. I missed spending my sundays working on the GN

I finally got my chrome alternator in too and a few other chrome goodies. I got some big plans for the engine compartment this year...I'll keep you posted on my progress!

Later, Steve

No new engine pics yet b/c its DIRTY....i spent 3 months detailing it and i put it together and haven't stayed on top of it I actually wasn't completely happy the first go around anyways, there's always room for improvement This year I'm gonna do it all over again and do it right.

Car looks real good Steve. I've followed your progress on the board and you've been busy. The result is an excellent car. There are not many wheels I like these cars on save the stockers, but they do very well on yours. What did you do with the old ones? For Sale?

 

[fireberd350]

4 sale? sure, theres a price for everything

I like those wheels man!
Does the rear tires rub or come real close to the fender with the 4" bs? I've been looking for 15x8's with 4.5"bs

Looks good Steve! Keep it up. Man your car is soooo clean. I try so hard to get mine to look good. Looks like you are succedding in that department

 

[fireberd350]

The rears do not rub. There's plenty of clearence on the fender lip side(and I didnt even roll the lip) but only about 1/2" away from the frame. If i take a corner at 80mph it may rub the frame a LITTLE bit but I dont need to worry about that. 4.5" BS WOULD rub the frame. Anything from 3.5" to 4" will be OK. I Forgot to mention I put airbags on too so that helps to prevent any rubbing issues.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

I updated my site as well tonight as well if anyones bored the link is in the sig.

i gotta admit one of the cleanest GNs ive seen so far and nice set of wheels gives if not it enhances the muscle to it lol but i have a question for u r those the original side fenders that go all the way around by the tires the side wall or r they the GNX ones ? just curious to know

 

[fireberd350]

First, thanks for the compliments. Second...No, they are stock, the GN's also had the wider fenders. The GNX just had wider fenders, commonly called GNX fender flares. If you saw them next to each other it would be more noticeable.

heres a pic to give you an idea
