Re: Let's see your non stock wheels on a Sy/Ty

Here is my Ty with C5 Y2K all four are 18x9.5

245/45/18 BFG kdw2 in the front
275/35/18 BFG drag radials in the rear.

These are the oem all aluminum Alcoa rims. They weight the same as a stock SyTy rim. I plan on painting them all black soon.

Not mine. but I remember it from another thread, and went and copied the IMG location.

thanks for the picture, I like a little more meat on my tires, I'm an old man and I need the back support.

I had those rims on all fours on my last car.....LOL. I sold that Vette to get my Syclone. HOw do they fit, did you have to use a spacer? Did they stick out at all? One of my options was to use Magnesium C-5 rims, but I did not know if it was better to use the 8.5x17 fronts or the 9.5x18 rears for my Sy. I have a couple of aftermarket 11x 17 inch ZR-1 rims that I am gonna see if they fit just to guage backspacing.


Thanks

These rims fit very well, I am going to need a 1-1.5" spacer in the rear. I haven't put one on yet. Eventually I will be running four 275/35/18's but for now I have the 245 and I figured I would use them.

The Magnesium rims will work also, if it were me I would go with four of the same size.

Thanks for the info, I'm amazed the truck can handle such big wheels and still need a spacer.

It seems that a back spacer is needed, so I guess you also need longer Lug bolts? I plan on runningall 4 wheels the same size,because it is much easier to find tires to fit andalso you can rotate the tires. Thanks for all the info, I'm getting a clearer picture of what I can do as far as wheels go.

Thanks for the link, I never used any spacers before, so I had no idea they came with the lugs.

Sorry the pic angles suck.

Re: Let's see your non stock wheels on a Sy/Ty

Its weird, I hated these rims the first time I saw them, but now I don't like the look of any other rim on a black ty, other than stock

My drag race wheel set-up

I was checking out those tires and I was thinking about the front tires being drag radials and saying WTF? Then I just remembered that these trucks were AWD...LOL! I've only driven my truck a couple of times and forget that it is AWD...Duhh, I'm slow. I like that front scoop, is it for the radiator or intercooler?

Re: Let's see your non stock wheels on a Sy/Ty

The scoop is for the radiator.
This is to feed cold air to my air box.

We could never get away with anything like that in Calif. I admit that I like the idea of cold air intake.

Mine passes every under hood insp in Cali.:tup:

The box is just like an ATR box, just larger. The cover is off in pic to show filter, otherwise it is an inclosed box.

I would say probably 98%+ smog test shops do not know what the original airbox looks like anyways.:2cents:

I took the OG air intake set-up off back in 1998, never been ask once, about the airbox.

Re: Let's see your non stock wheels on a Sy/Ty

There's a picture floating around here somewhere of my old Ty with Fikse wheels on it. Very sharp looking. A different air intake may be a wise idea depending on the condition of your stock crossover....you have been checking it, right? :tup:

Re: Let's see your non stock wheels on a Sy/Ty

Thanks, ill try to get some pics of the side when I can get it outta the garage.

I really like the air box in your truck but where the yell do u find one like that? I almost wanna rip out the one in my tundra cause It's nice n big for a six inch cone.

What size are the front rims and do they stick out at all? I don't like even the slightest bit of sticking out. I actually preffer rims that are exactly 1/4 inch in under the fenders. Those rims actually look better on the Sy than on the Vette...LOL.
