Dont Bogart those Bogarts my friend...

PASS THEM OVER TO ME !!!

Yes it's true (for those that are keeping count) I have bought 3 sets of Bogarts in 3 week : o ()
If I keep this up I'll have the market corner'd in no time, hehehe

Bought these First


Worked a Deal with V, he took those and I got these


Those go better with these anyway


And then I saw these


SO I BOUGHT THEM TOO
I've been looking for a kick *** set of street tires (actually slicks) for years, this is my ticket....

They were custom made back in 2001 for a 99 Lightning and although fitted,
the were never used or even mounted,
(they paid $834.60 back then, I have the orig reciept)

I think they are just what the Doc ordered.....

They tuck in niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, the offset seems to be perfect



and they should hold a much wider tire ; o )


and this is what I plan to use


3795R P315/45R16 27 X 12.50 R16 12.6 wide x 27.2 high

ANY THOUGHTS, SUGGESTIONS ??? Strictly for Fun on the Street ....

Those tires are a bit short to be worthwhile on the street. Are those rims 11 inches wide?

Thanks Guys

Ya Dave aint it the truth, garaged and covered the rust underneath still comes _(*^%$*@$^)@^@$

I run a 3.75 upper pulley on the street, and switch to 3.000 at the track.
Some day I'll measure the lower pulley to know for sure what it is, (believe it to be a 6lb), but man oh man I cant tell you how much boost it has with even the 3.75 You just "touch" the pedal and it's an instant 15lbs of boost. I dont think it's possible to go more than 1/4 to 1/3 throttle with it in 1st 2nd or 3rd gear without going sideways
(not thats there anything wrong with sideways driving)

hey rob-o,

Get the program adjusted for that height ( 27.2 high) that's pretty short compared to stock.
