Am I being lampooned? lol
235 is 9.2" it is a perfect width for the wheel. It may have a very slight 'stretch look' but it will be alot less squishy sidewall than my current setup below
I am actually insane running 235's on my 7.5" wheel right now haha.
But its nice throwing the wheels down when I take them off knowing that there is enough sidewall bulge to prevent the wheels from making contact with the ground.

interesting. I dont really hear too many people running falkens these days on the track. Usually Dunlop, Bridgestone, Toyo and Advans are the go to's.

Whyd you choose em? ( Im a very brand loyal person so I stick with certain brands haha)

215mm is 8.46" and they look stretched as HELL on my 8" wheels. There may be brand differences though.. But I don't think 235s on 9" wheels will look hellastretched.. just a bit though.

I'm getting 235s for my 8" soon.

I was going to run 235/55-17 on the Firebird whenever I found 17's I liked and most being 9" wide 235 would've been a slight stretch as the tire manufacturers' recommended rim width was 7-8.5" for a 27" tall tire. I wanted a square setup and didn't want to have to worry about rubbing anywhere and maintaining close to factory height was higher priority than having more tire width.

Thats right!!
I was trying to find the pics you sent me but I think that was well before the barrage of brake pics we were trading for that little while.
I just looked up some pics of the 57c's. Its so weird to me to see a 5 spoke wheel for some reason. Seems empty. It almost looked like those 3 spoke super advan wheels haha. For some reason my brain has made the 6 spoke (te37s) the new standard. I guess its too late for you since you are doing the swap, but the 17x9 +35/38 57DR's are going for around 1500-1800 new.
We should use the winter to coordinate our spring and summer events.





Back by the car now for the weekend.
Finishing up the catch cans

Removing the front hubs to prep them for the 5x114 swap.
Removing the front coilovers so that the T3 caster hats can be adapted to the Teins
Removing the speed sensor to be replaced....because I cant figure whats wrong with the speedo and thats the one thing I havent touched
Coolant flush because its a lil orange. Which is unfortunate after the crazy flush I did when I put the motor in (that chocolate milk tho) maybe I can add some flush additive

I agree on the open space, I have some ideas i'm tossing around. And yes, we will use the winter to coordinate.

Now back to your build... let me know if you need any additional info on the 5x114, or any help in general.

didnt get as much done this weekend due to being god awful sick.
finished up the catch cans and adjusted the position of the swirl pot a bit (not much room left around there for anything haha)


relocated the VSV on the firewall so it can quit hitting the brake master.
Took of the resonator and used a plug to shut it.






received the wheels today. The tires have more tread on them than the seller explained, so they will probably stay on for the year.
These wheels look so good dark, I hope they will look good when they are white
