Our F85 Power Tour Project

Here is a quick update!

Got pretty much all the unbolt-able parts painted and now on to the main tub. Put up a make shift booth in the shop and shot 3 coats of high build on her. We're now ready to start blocking it out.. definitely not looking forward to all the sanding.

In the mean time our Rushforth wheels showed up. Specs in the front are same as before 19x8 with 6" back space. The rears are now 20x10.5 with 6" of BS. Tire is a Nitto NT05R in a 315. I've got 1/2" on the inside and on the outside for clearance. Probably could have gone 5.75" BS and pushed it out just a scosh more but that's okay.

As for installing the rears... When I reworked the lower coil-over mounts the axle raised up in the car 1.5" and doesn't droop as far for the same reason.. When I say these barely squeeze past the rotor and the outter wheel well i'm not even joking. I hit the wheel weight and had to rotate the tire to get it in there! But once in it fits perfect. Here are some pics. Sorry about the lighting but I couldn't wait. Had to get some shots!!
