Something strange happened last night...

[ZeroHour]

....

I need to say a very big thanks to Jason! These wheels and tires are freakin amazing!

Oh but for some reason all I notice on my car is the silver antenna now :blackeye:

I will get the tires cleaned up this afternoon and get a few more pictures!

So by strange you mean your can now go off roading with your newly acquired ride height?

It wouldn't be me if I wasn't an *******.

And please tell me you bought that *****in roof rack!

 

[ZeroHour]

Glad to know you're having a good morning glenn! :laugh:

Actually Jason is keeping the bike rack.

Ride hight difference:

15 inch rim = 7.5 inch form hub = 190.5 mm
Old tire high = 60 mm
Total old height = 250 mm (dropping the dopey decimal)

17 inch rim = 8.5 inch from hub = 215.9 (lets say 216)
New tire heigh = 45
Total height = 261 mm

Calculated Clearance difference: 11 mm or 11,000,000,000 nm or 0.43 inch

I noticed about a 1/3 of inch difference (the car jack now clears the mercery lip! by 1/16!!!)

I can't wait to get over a speed bump and try to not scrap muffler clamps!!! :laugh:

 

[Pen_Two]

I guess I'm just used to the SVT body kit filling in all the gaps.

 

[ZeroHour]

yeah. But I really has changed the look of my Contour! I can't wait to get the rear strut bar from the GB!

 

[ZeroHour]

You must excuse the dirtyness of my car, but the wheels are clean! :laugh:

 

[TUFTOUR]

Looks nice

 

[LUCA]

Very nice Scott! Told ya they'd look good.

You came down and didn't even tell me?

 

[ilive4sports]

Is it just me or do the wheels seem to make the hood scoop look better on the car?

 

[ZeroHour]

Aww sorry I was down there last weekend and was only there to pick up the wheels. And I wasn't in the Tour either cause my parents stopped to buy patio furniture on the way back. :laugh:

 

[LUCA]

Jeff... I think the wheels give the car a whole different look.

Ok Scott, you are excused from not calling me and letting me know that you were coming down.

 

[ZeroHour]

I want to make a run to harbor freight eventually. haha I'll have to let you know. Thats pretty close to where jason lives. Just the other side of allentown

 

[LUCA]

Nope, it's not that far from Jason at all. I frequent that Harbor Freight.
I got my magnetic tray and magnetic telescoping wand thingy there.
They're my two favorite garage toys.
:laugh:
