The Stance Thread

The rears were 195/65 Hoosiers.  They stick good and make for great burnouts too.

Nice one Nico!!! knew that one, but i didn't knew it was yours.

[Zach Gomulka]

Old and original with bias ply A78-15's on the front, 6.00-15's on the back, 5.5" Sprint Stars.


145 XZX's on 4.5" Sprints up front, 165 XZX's on 5.5 Sprints bringing up the rear.


CB Drop spindles and disc brakes.



NOS Koni shocks, CB rear disc brakes, narrowed rear trailing arms (26mm).


195/65's on the back.


As it sits now with 205/70's on the rear (not a fan!)



Plan is to get the 6" Sprints made up, wrap 185/70 XWX's around them, and lower the rear just a tad until the fender gap matches the front.

Just curious, what's your source for the 185/70's?  I've been trying to keep an eye out for a decent price and can't seem to find anything under $300 each.

[BeetleBug]

Holy Moley!!

That jeans would be my perfect winter car! Dubbed tires, a torquer in the back, a roof rack (seriously) for the skiis and a good webasto to keep warm. VERY cool car and rarely seen here in Norway.

[Stoo the worm Simpson]

This is my  59
6" narrowed beam with custom shock mounts and swayaway adjusters, cb dropped spindles, csp brakes, detailed radars running 145 firestones,
the rear is slightly lower from stock...1inner and one outer spline i think...fully polished 356b brakes and 205/70 tyres.

[speedwell]

is it the old car from adele & steve

[SteveW]

No Adele just borrowed it for EBI2, Stoo built this about 5 years ago and is one of my all time favourite cars! What is cool though is Stoo's 59 was built pretty much at the same time as ours was and shared alot of the same 'keep on the road' modifications that were carried out over the years! I have a photo somewhere of ours on the day we bought it next to Stoo's!

Like steve said....
yeah i have a pic of that too

Yeah, me neither Back when the British pound was 2:1, Longstone Tyre had them for 199.50 each, free shipping. Coker had them for $384 each, plus shipping. I just checked Longstone again today (blew a 205/70 this morning!!), hoping the exchange rate would work to my advantage... they upped the price to 255 pounds, that is $365 each. Guess I'm going to buy some new, cheap 195/65's until my money tree blossoms.

I changed my stance..
I removed the 195/65's, and tossed on some 205/70's.  I think it looks much better.

it seems 195/60..not 65...

[Hotrodvw]

Trust me.....they're 195/65's.  That first pic makes them look shorter.......it must be the lighting.
