Alright, here's an update....

I finally got my wheels, they're Billet Specialties Street Lites...

17x9 front with 275/40R17 Sumitomo's
Attachment 748737
17x11 rear with 315/35R17 Sumitomo's
Attachment 748738

That allowed me to get it rolling so I could roll it outside and get some more pictures....

Aired all the way up
Attachment 748734
Aired all the way down :)

And a nice rear view showing the wheels and tires with it aired out

Thanks, the swaybars are Speedway Engineering bars that I got from HRPworld.com....they were the only place I could find them online and their prices are pretty friendly too :)

Lol...I would if I thought I could make 17x11's fit on the front ;) I'm already going to have to put steering stops on the front to keep the tires from rubbing on the front shocks :)

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
 
wow just wow awsome build keep up the good work . what size DOM are your lowers made out of and did you have to bend them ? , what is traling arms made out of ? fantasitc build .

Mechanic77 05-25-2011 08:54 AM

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
 
Thanks redneck6....the upper and lower arms are made out of 1 1/4" .125" wall DOM and there is just a slight bend in the rear tube on the lower control arms to allow clearance for the air bags....and the lower balljoint plate is bent roughly 10* up to keep the balljoint from binding when aired fully up....and the rear trailing arms are made out of 2"x3" .125" wall rectangular tubing with a 2 1/2" drop built into them :)

Re: Project Pro Touring "Ole Blue"
 
I don't have a full part # because I pieced them together...bought the bar, arms and rod ends all separate. Like I posted earlier they are Speedway engineering bars and arms that I bought from HRPworld.com....bought the rod ends from Speedwaymotors...
