Raider's Neverending love/hate with Christine

Our wheel wells are too small, even with your lift. Stepping down to 17s will give you a little more sidewall meat.

You might be able to go with a little more sidewall than total stock diamater, but not more than 10mm's probably. Anything more and you are going to have to deal with rubbing somewhere.
 
And that's why I'll wait and then get proper 17s and thicker tires maybe next year.

Then I gotta figure out the color to powder coat. Black wheels are meh.
 
You could go bigger diameter on the tires but not much. Needs to be on 17s

Yeah. I know Mike would be thrilled to see is RFP1s on Christine. Might need spacers because of the CorkSport BBK Jr. Then I can get the 60 series tires.
 
Christine will simmer down hopefully next weekend. Vibrant old man sound shutter upper. Adding where oem muffler is. #oldman.IMG_1419.jpeg IMG_1421.jpeg IMG_1422.jpeg
 
I hope the suspension compliance is just what you want!! Drive happy!
 
I do as well. Clutch was a major deal before the surgery, and it seems to be ok. The struts on it are old old and probably worn out. so that is probably why my back hurt when in motion.
 
I think I found my wheels. Saw em on a CX-30 online the notes on fitting over brembos is nice. Then to see what 235 tire will fit. 50 or 60 series. IMG_1781.jpeg IMG_1783.jpeg IMG_1782.jpeg
 
Everything with Christine requires a sacrifice. Blood, more money, blood and money. As my friend Tim finished a pull for datalogging, clutch pedal broke. Thankfully I have a spare I intended to ship to DTP FAB for reinforcement. Too late. A drive to where he was stuck and a tow ride to his house later, the 2.75" lifted evil ms3 will be repaired soon.

You would think her builder would have immunity to the curse, but you'd be mistaken. Thanks for the ride home!

And you didn't take me seriously about how absolutely evil she is. Nobody is immune, lol.
