Finishing off the 305 35 20 Nittos!

[PhillipM]

Here is a video of my buddy getting ready for a new set of 315 35 20 Nitto Invo's! Ooooh this car is LONG and low :cheers:

Note* The guy at the end is pulling into his driveway... not getting out of the way. Although getting out of the way isn't a bad idea either! Haha

[70TWO NOVA]

[buickfunnycar.com]

cool car,what kind of wheels he's running?

[PhillipM]

It is a 74 Malibu

GMPP ZZ383 with an Intercooled D1SC Pro-Charger and a 700R4
13" Baer Brakes sitting in 19x8 and 20x10 Rushforth Fuel's

I completely agree, I used to hate this body style but with it now sitting right, with a nice set of wheels, and some serious ponies to back up the look (515RWHP) the car is awesome!

Nice vid and very nice ride!

Do you know if he had to minitub it to get that much tire underneath it? I have been eyeballing that body style for some time and I am curious how much tire you can get under it.

[PhillipM]

Nope, no mini tubbing required. As you can see by the thread title, the tire that is in all of the pictures is a 305 35 20 drag radial, we went with that to start so we could get a good idea about fit. There was about 3/4 of an inch of room on both sides so we decided he could go up to the next size. But a 315 35 20 is the absolute largest you can go and still tuck it in. He also went up to a 275 35 19 in the front which will look a lot better as well.

[70TWO NOVA]

wow, thats huge for a stock wheel well

[Damn True]

Had to pull the vid.

Neat car though.

[PhillipM]

Bummer.

[dmc69]

[John Wright]

[Tony_SS]

Awesome Malibu! I love the custom quarter windows too.

[Young Gun]

sharp malibu... never liked them, but that one is nice and simple... well executed and clean

[brian.harmon1974]

nevermind, i looked again and saw that you didn't customize the bumepers. my bad, but do u know if that would be hard to do at all?

[PhillipM]

Your right, no the bumpers were not modified at all... As for the video get on youtube and search BYK345...:smoke:
