    I'm running 03 Cobra R's 17x9 all around with 245/40/ZR17's on my 88 gt. Only time anything rubs is when I happen to hit a pothole that I didn't see,then the fronts just get a slight scuff mark on the outside of the tire. I like this setup, because I can still rotate them for slightly longer life. Really like both the retro fox and the calypso! Keep on foxing around ya'll! 👍👍

    I wouldn’t consider myself a “hater”, as I like the look you’ve achieved there. In all the years and Foxes I experimented with however, I never found anything larger than 17 with a ride quality that was as good as the various 17s I’ve used.

    • @midnight347
      @midnight347 2 роки тому +4

      Yea im not a hater either looks wise I think they're great but ride wise and performance wise I prefer smaller wheels with beefy tires like he used to run on it. The drag pack look because it's the lightest and hooks best and rides best and it also looks pretty damn cool too imo. 18s look wicked as well but don't ride or perform as good (unless you're building a car for the twisties and don't care as much about straight line stuff by all means go 18).

    I just did fitment on Bilstein quad shocks on my 93 LX with J&M Jackers and SVE 10”x17” 5 lug Pony’s and they where biting the tire in normal installation and reversed installation. Others say quads aren’t necessary when tubular lower control bars are utilized. That quads counter wheel hop in stock lower control arms. I’ll have to post a video when my 5 lug conversion is done.

    I have an 86. I'm not ready to convert to a 5 lug yet BUT I have the 5 lug wheels. Can you recommend a 4 to 5 lug adapter so I can use the wheels meanwhile?

    i know its been awhile and it has nothing to do with this video, but do you still have the megasquirt in the calypso? if so how well has your tunes held up? i know you did several videos on it and it might be a dumb question but i was just debating on if i wanted to use it or not. i am nowhere near at a point where i would be getting it anytime soon but i was just curious.
