September 26, 200520 yr Those are 195/50R15's. I know cause I sold them to him He had them mounted to those rims for road trip purposes. They did a much better job on the trip to the Subaru show than a set of Swampers would have. -Brian
September 26, 200520 yr yeah who needs flex when your going down hill! haha here is a good picture of the lowrider!
September 27, 200520 yr Author I do still have the swampers, I am just too lazy to put them back on. Plus, I have to buy new pads for this set of rear discs I have and then I'm gonna swap them on as well as new shocks, THEN I'll throw the swampers back on and leave them that way for a LONG while. Sorry for disapointing the offroad crowd by offroading "low-rider" style.
September 27, 200520 yr how are the tube doors holding up?i would like to make a set, but with the rain and snow up here, i would also have to make canvas covers like a jeep.
September 27, 200520 yr Author They're holding up great! The catch rattles a little, but I'm getting used to it. It's gonna rain here tonight so I tarped the seats. (More to save the nice seats that Thesubarujunkie sold me that anything else.)
September 27, 200520 yr well i think it looks cool..aggessive street look...and its no low rider..just low profile tires.
October 4, 200520 yr Author OK here's a pic that should benefit BOTH offroaders AND the lowrider crowd:
October 5, 200520 yr what wheels are thoes... looks kinca cool to me.. could be droped a few inches... street brat, kinda like that one that had the sti engine and all that... but not quite as fast.
October 6, 200520 yr Author The "low pro" wheels are US Wheels 70 series 15x7 6x5.5 bolt pattern with 3.75" backspacing. I got them from summit racing for like 21$ or something. The Big ones are US wheel 75 series 14x6 with the same bolt and backspacing. they were like 30$ each.
October 6, 200520 yr OK here's a pic that should benefit BOTH offroaders AND the lowrider crowd: now it looks like a mud drag racer
October 6, 200520 yr Nothing teaches you to pick a line quite like driving a subaru! LOL, I agree. I think thats why I did so well in my toyota when I had it. Experiance from wheeling subarus.
October 9, 200520 yr now that's a proper ending to a honduh geez hummers don't flex much,that left rear wheel should be on the ground.
October 10, 200520 yr now that's a proper ending to a honduh geez hummers don't flex much,that left rear wheel should be on the ground. i love that pic for one.. but the HMMWV (HUMVEE) was not designed to have flex. it was made for desert combat, it did very very well in that. its not a rock clrawler, or a mud boger... but im not saying it cat do that stuff.. it just looks funny..locks its diffs and keeps on moving. the VW toureg dosn't have any flex ether.. but it still is super cablable... and subarus the same.
October 10, 200520 yr those 15's look sweet. Lifted street Brat? WICKED! I dunno what it is, but it looks real sporty! maybe some one should put wheels like that on a WRX! lol...
October 10, 200520 yr Jibs, when you drove to WCSS7 with the low-pros and the lift, what kind of mileage did you get?
October 11, 200520 yr Author Jibs, when you drove to WCSS7 with the low-pros and the lift, what kind of mileage did you get? I really couldn't tell ya. I didn't track the mileage very well due to the fact the car had lots of "issues" getting up there and back. Ya know I might've got about the same though actually, about 230 miles to a tank. after I got back we swapped engines and I was only getting about 150-175 miles to a tank. It sucks though, I ran it out of gas a few times cause the fuel guage doesn't work. The low fuel light USED to come on, letting me know when to fill up, but now it doesn't even do that. The next time I run up that way, I'll keep track better for ya.
