So the part showed up yesterday I believe. We should be getting underway with the dyno fun here in a couple days or less.

But for now! Check THIS out

Ha, yeah. This is my 3rd black & white plate since I've been in Texas.

My Cobalt SS plate was "SLOBALT"
My 370Z plate was "OMG370"
My Camaro SS plate was "LVL 99"

Tires are BFG KDW2's. Fronts are 235/35/19 and rears are 255/35/19. But by the looks of the way the wheel sticks out a little bit I think I'll be dropping the rear down to 245 next time, maybe.

Wheels are 19x8.5 front and 19x9.5 rear in a +45 offset. The front offset is PERFECT. Dead even flush with the fender. The rear could come back in just a little bit.

Haven't even been able to turn the car on yet. Can't turn a turbocharged car on until EVERYTHING fits perfectly, and is pretuned a little bit I'm assuming.

I'd say we will have it turned on for the first time in over 5 weeks by Wednesday. Hopefully sooner.

Well the car hasn't even been turned on yet, but it looks like there's no rubbing.

If there's too much offset and the tires still stick out after dropping the car, I'll just take it to a wheel shop and have them take off about 3mm off the offset.

It will be putting down 300whp. That's what I wanted to have it at and we're going to cater to that number by giving the car whatever tuning it needs to hit that. If we wanted, we could put it as high as 450whp, but that's way overkill at this point and I don't want to take chances with the engine or tranny.
