Anyone actually running 18x9.5 fronts with 6.5"+ BS?
You haven't accomplished anything after bolting on these parts. You don't have your ride height set with you car on the ground, so you can't have camber, caster and toe set... If I set my car on jack stands, account for a small rake, measure where I want my spindles in relation to my fenders... I can't replicate ride height without my car being on the ground?
With 1.14" torsion bars you won't experience 5" of suspension travel like you show. I never said I had 5" of travel nor did I imply it. That is your figure and I previously corrected your statement.
I can only tell you that a 18x9 with +30 OS should fit a 275/35/18 tire on the front. With your Dodge D100 rotors and first gen Viper Brembo 4 piston calipers you will need a rim that clears those. I'm running Mercedes 13" front rotors not d100 rotors. And 18x9 +30 SHOULD fit based on what, your assumptions?
You don't need to get a 9-1/2" wide rim to mount that tire. Unless you like to have curb rash on your rim lips? Nope but in the custom wheel world, readily available hoop sizes are 8, 9.5 and 11. Yes I can get 9" and 12 or whatever size I want but the others are way more common. 275/35-18 is rated for a 9to10" width so I don't understand the weird passive aggressive curb rash statement?
Who's 17x4.5 Race Star 92's are you using in the pics? It's just one a buddy lent me. It's a 26" tall tire with a hub to outer wheel distance of 3.75. I wanted to see how that compared to some of my other measurements.
And it looks like you waited to have the car painted to find rims & tires that just fit? That's backasswards.What could I have done differently to avoid doing it backasswards?
BUT...
