Love the Bullitt rims.  I like the 17" rims but would have gone with thicker side walls to show more meat. 

You definitely executed the low profile well though.

Great work.

Looks great:D I'm guessing you used the base/LX header panel to increase airflow to the front mount intercooler?


Yep, and they are plentiful in the jy's. In the summer his car will run cooler in the LA traffic as well.

are you using offset/offset lers?


Ugh! Was that the issue!! The lers were ATR straight through style. Dang it! You guys should have warned me. If thats the case, my bad. I have to say even after the tweaking the exhaust looks kicka$$

They sure are every bit 10.5". I shaved 3/16 additional from the backspacing to bring them in more. I also had to remove that secondary shock. My wheels didnt move outward with the 5 lug swap because I didnt use lincoln axels. I took my stock axels and modded them to 5 lug so that I would not loose my ebrake.


You drilled new holes and put studs in?

yep. I sealed them and redrilled them. Then I just took stock rotors and had them drilled to 5 lug too(didnt seal those though, just redrilled them)

Yeh, actually they came with 315's but my son always has people in the back, so I swapped them for 275's. No rub and I wont have the kid calling me for tires. LOL!! I would have realy made the 10.5's stand out more (But thats for my car)

Weird, they look like they have the same lip front and rear. That's why i asked about the offset. My 10.5s have a 2" lip.

I know, and that's probably why I got them for $125. LOL!! Next time I'm gonna get the ones with the deep dish style. His look cool when you are up on it from the back, but not really from the side. His entire project now. Once it left the driveway, the investments are his now. Time to work on my baby. Wait till I'm done with her.

I want that car pretty bad.  Nice build.  Mine doesn't even have an engine in it. :(  Very Darth Vader.
