Info on the black car? :P

 

Black one is a '97 Z, M6, t-top, leather interior with one tear, all stock other than an SLP catback. Even still has the factory radio. I think I'm just shy of $2k into it with the purchase price. Waiting on the fender to get here, then paint, and two tires. Oh and a new mirror because as my dad said, his "fat ***" broke it off. Lol. 186k+ miles, but if you didn't look at the odometer, you would never guess because the car is a tight driving car.

In my area, I should be able to get 4500-5k for it easy. Already have a few people thinking on buying it. I do like driving a six speed, but I don't need two Camaros. Get my student loans paid off, fixing my Jeep, and being able to get my own house is more important

 

So I got the new rear wheels and tires yesterday and got them mounted and balanced. They are a wee bit bigger than I expected and stick out a wee bit more than I wanted, but I won't complain. I did run into one little problem though. As soon as I spin the wheel the parking brake cable is gonna rip the wheel weights off...









And the only current issue...

 

what BS are the wheels? You really shouldn't have that issue

 

6.5inches. I did a lot of research and everything pointed to needing 7inches for a 15x10 but there were none in my price range so I went with the highest I could find. Everything else clears except where the cable connects. I'm not sure I can get the weights to stick again if I move them.

 

I think you really needed 7.5, thats pretty much the standard fbody BS for a 15x10

too bad you don't live near me, I have a couple sets here you could test fit, just not with that much tire

 

Yeah you need a 7.5 BS for a 10" wheel on the back. Race star makes a cheap wheel that fit perfect on my car.

 

hell, I have a summit brand 15x10 wheel for when I go 26" tire racing and I think they were 90 bucks a piece? 7.5" BS

 

I couldn't find any Summit brands that were more than 6.5in. And just about everything else was way out of my price range or strictly race use. I got it fixed though. Took it back, told them what was up, so he moved them in a bit and rebalanced. Got the passenger side dead perfect but had to take the drivers back over to have it done again. Was smart this time and took a paint marker and made a mark on how far in it needed to be. Had me in and out in less than a minute.

All is good now. Got them polished and the tires shiny. I'll get pics later. I did a 12 hour shift last night (7pm-7am) on 5 hours of sleep and wanted the car ready for my dinner tonight with the Ford loving girlfriend so sleep first. Pics later.

 

those 12 hour shifts I used to work 3 on 4 off ,it just seems I never had time for nothing even the 4 off was like 3.5 days always went fast ,what I liked was the 4 day work week 4 10 hours days Friday sat sun off ,5 hours sleep catches up to you ,but I know alot of people that get by on just that ,I allways needed 8hours or better myself ,though my mom always said you do the work of 2 people ,in the construction days building houses
