Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged

Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - 19" Tenzo Type M's

So did a test fit and damnn. I love these rims. Perfect. Once I swap my tires I'm hoping they'll sit exactly where I want em to or close to it.
They have some rubber bands on them right now so they look a little weird, but with the coils on it'll be tits. Also, you can see the cts v calipers just fine and they pop a lot more with the machined face. :th_loveit:

Those look phenomenal, especially when you swap tires. Easily one of my favorite GP's.

thanks dude, yeah I definitely lucked out with these wheels. Got them for a decent price with the tires, but I will be selling to make some money back, and considering what these go for new. Now it's just being patient enough for spring time. Lol

Looking at the side pics, now that I'm thinking n looking at them, does it look like I'll be running into rubbing issues? It's kinda hard to tell without the right tires on, but would rolling the fenders just be what I'd have to do.. Anyone have input, lemme know. Thanks.

edit: but the rim of the tire is sticking out further than the lip of the rim it looks like too..
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - 19" Tenzo Type M's

Needs a little more offset, spacers? Are you cool with where its at?
 


Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - 19" Tenzo Type M's

I run 18x8 with +35 and i had to pull my coils up to about 1" from the bottom thread to not rub. I rolled my fenders and took out the plastic.

Well, your going to have to roll the fenders either way

Ill roll the fenders first n see where that gets me to..I have a set of spacers already on the rear for my gxp rims now, so if I had to buy another set it'd be no big deal. So when they do go on, I can at least check with spacers first to see if that's where it needs to be. Thanks man. Yours sits pretty too btw! Haha

See these are 19 x 8.5 with a 45 offset..does the .5 help that to pop it out more? I have a hard time getting that lol..the lower the offset, the more it sits out correct?
And I seen the plastic n stuff in there and I'll either cut it or take it out if need be.
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - 19" Tenzo Type M's

i unbolted and cut out the top part and left the lower...
super easy to cut

as far as low goes, im assuming your going on my sig. Those are ssc's my ride thread shows the coilovers 1/2" from the bottom.

alright cool, thanks. And no, I checked out your ride thread n seen the coils. Do you have them on the rears too now or just the ssc's in back still?
 
Re: Red 2006 Grand Prix GT Supercharged - 19" Tenzo Type M's

Ssc's in the back still. I was trying to see if i could transfer weight for better launches. Seems like it worked. I'm waiting to scale it to see what the weight diff is.

Try some spring blockers. I heard mixed reviews, but if you're tracking it, that's what I heard helped.
