[Skyforger]

That shade of blue makes me fucking jelly...

[IVORY_G]

almost done should be finished mechanically by saturday i need to have the downpipe made

Looks good. Do you still plan to use that Erebuni bumper? Your IC would prob fit better behind there...

[mrg7243]

I wasnt cheating lol but that drive doesnt really have a hi bump but will do when it stops raining its prolly lower for you cuz your on coils and sitting on 16" I think and that stud is stripped

That doesnt make my car any lower unless i take air out of them lol. Same overall diameter. Amirite? That is dangerous driving around like that, i could see if you had to get it to the shop, but that puts alot of other stress on the other lugs unevenly

Idk cuz when I was on my 15" 195/60 my car was low where I couldn't use the lift in my uncles shop but with the 18" I sit a lil higher but haven't gotten time to fix it maybe when I do my v6 rear brake swap and I'm not saying my car is slammed or anything but for being on springs I'm pretty low I'm on ksports

i was thinking about that... but since the group buy fell through i thought Emerson would want the bumper back. so its no problem it was his in the first place. im going to try and source an old style jdm like yours.

zobgel im looking forward to seeing your car done as well, whats next on the list?

[Fresh_617]

^Truth. The overall diameter is the same, but I think the difference is with larger diameter wheels vs smaller diameter wheels,
more tire = more flexion/absoprtion due to weight of vehicle which would bring you a little bit closer to the ground.
vs
smaller tire = less absorption/flexion bcz theres more wheel than tire so it brings you up a lil hit higher.
Were talkn centimeters and maybe an inch if youre lucky. For a more drastic example, put some 20"s on your car and then out some 14"s on your car and you will see the difference...

Trust me I noticed that when i took off my 20 and put my 15 on for the winter

Exactly, its more than just math and overall diameters, it's physics.

[Blue8g]

20's will run bigger than 15's....I don't think there's even a size made that is equivalent to OEM diameter in 20's.....

lol thanks man. Your forgot the ] in the first IMG code.

I can't wait til I get the evo wheels wrapped. Not sure if I want to keep the stock color or get them powdercoated gold/bronze.

Nope. The Galant's aspect ratio is very similar to my Grand Am, and the biggest I've seen without going beyond OEM specs is 18".

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Just curious...what do you plan to do with those 17" Eclipse wheels then?

Yeah I don't recommend it either I rubbed like crazy especially cuz I was dropped I was running 30's to have enough clearance

I have 2 galants =)

But idk yet, we'll see. I have 18 in eclipse gt wheels also, not sure which I'll give the daily yet.

Even worse, down south, the Grand Am has become popular for the DONK look. Be happy the Galant hasn't. lol But yeah, no sense running a wheel too big, it hinders performance.

Well...I do have the 15" TSW's to trade, but I need winter wheels. :/

No rush, though. The other guy that was selling the exact ROHs I have already, that plan kinda fell apart.

Well, here is your issue.

195/60R15s have a overall diameter of: 24.21"

225/40R18s have a overall diameter of: 25.09"

The 195/60R15 is incorrect for our 8G (correct for the 7G).

20's will run bigger than 15's....I don't think there's even a size made that is equivalent to OEM diameter in 20's.....

Actually there is from Toyo, they release a 215/30R20 early last year.

The mods have started for the 3. Eibach Sportlines. Up next 6000K H.I.D.'s, then wheels or something. lol

The G has some new things coming. right before it gets super cold. Going to need a set of steelies and winter tires before the fluffy cold white stuff starts falling from the sky.
