GTOguy Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 I re-painted my brake calipers tonight. They are looking fantastic in my opinion. I also helped my buddy with my mini do his. Color is almost a perfect match to the BBS center caps 2004 Pontiac GTO- bolt ons, bagged, CCW's, SQzzz Check Out my build log Follow me on IG: @watsupitsdenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Only 205s? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 I don't blame him. I drove a GTO once on a 90 mile trip on rain slicked asphalt. 245s on the rear and the damn thing couldn't connect driving Ms Daisy. Got sideways not even trying. Was a damn shame I never got to drive it on dry pavement. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTOguy Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Only 205s? With the offsets and width I need some stretch and 205s are the only way I can swing it. Lets just call these barrels and tires training wheels and barrels I will widen them to fit bigger tires next year. The rears are 225 though just really low profile I don't blame him.

Was a damn shame I never got to drive it on dry pavement. On 245 dunlop star specs I only chirp the tires a little on dry highway pulls. In the rain though you can break the rear loose at like 70 if you so desire especially with the camber I am rocking at the moment 2004 Pontiac GTO- bolt ons, bagged, CCW's, SQzzz Check Out my build log Follow me on IG: @watsupitsdenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 275's on my buddy's 06 GTO and it hooks perfectly. Stock height though. On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanSierra Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 What about a mini tub in the rear, 225 isn't enough tire. That's less than 9" of rubber on the ground. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTOguy Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 275's on my buddy's 06 GTO and it hooks perfectly. Stock height though. I will probably try to stretch 275s when I widen the rears What about a mini tub in the rear, 225 isn't enough tire. That's less than 9" of rubber on the ground Mini tub won't help with these dimensions. Pulling the fenders will. With my plan I will probably eventually mini tub and put a significant pull on the rear fenders and try to stretch a 305 on like a 17x14 2004 Pontiac GTO- bolt ons, bagged, CCW's, SQzzz Check Out my build log Follow me on IG: @watsupitsdenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTOguy Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Well finally the wheels are on So I will share the iphone pics I took. I will probably keep it at this height for daily use for shows I will go about an inch lower but I'm not cool enough to lay the car on the ground daily... May need a little spacer Over all I am happy but probably would do 245/35/17 rears and 225/35/17 fronts if I did it again. 2004 Pontiac GTO- bolt ons, bagged, CCW's, SQzzz Check Out my build log Follow me on IG: @watsupitsdenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
