Front needs upping a notch

[Rennsurfer]

YES, Jeffrey! Representing D.K.K. out on the east coast. Good stuff, my friend.



Diggin' on that rear license plate frame, too. Always wanted one of those to add to the others.

Like my 03, or Anders Widgren's euro/cal-looker:



Swing axle all the way, but given a stance to able to handle the twisty stuff too...

which wheels are this? tire sizes?

looks very cool...

[Diederick/DVK]

if i remember correctly; 5x130 minilites.
tyres look like 135r15 and 205/70/15, the wheels could then be 5.5" and 6.5".

[Rick Meredith]

I thought they might be Minilites... Unusual choice for a cal look car but (IMHO) it works on that car.

[Nico86]

Vredesteins for all corners, 155R15 front (lowered), 185R15 rear (stock height).

Front needs upping a notch

Thats Perfect!!!

[Wünderwolff]

Well, I know it is far from a Cal Looker (still  ) but I can' resist posting the new, shod with tires, wheels I bought yesterday on our (for sale) notchback. We bought it with the visor on and never got round to take it off, but we never have driven it like this either and never were going to. The car has been sitting in the garage for 6 years now. It sat on totally disintegrated 135 in the front and 165 (maybe 185) in the back on 4-lug sprintstars, that just tucked in enough not to touch the fenders

The car is too low, but still I like the way it sits with the 205/70 in the back fitting like a glove, if only just. Wonderful how the tiny offset of the 2 litre Fuchs allows the big wheels to fit a long-axled Notch.

In the front are lousy, ugly, no good smart tires, 145 wide, probably 65 high. These are still lower than normal 135 tires and if I would keep the car these would be the first to go (but only after re-anodising the wheels and detailing them with gloss black).

Can't believe you actually posted a picture off a car with sunvisor on the lounge!! Shame on you 

[Diederick/DVK]

that's notch got potential! i'd love to own one someday!

[Hebster52]

Not really much stance but some anyways...

Stock beam,
Dropspindles with stock tires and wheels, 165/80 both front and rear. Rear end stock height.

Will get 205/65 or 70 in the rear very soon with widened og. 66 wheels.

[Wünderwolff]

Jellö is right, I shouldn't have made the post with the sunvisor. Im so sorry. Just to make it up I had to clean the car today with soapy water and take new pictures without the add-ons.

Oh, and Diederick is right as well, it does have potential    Even so much so I really don't want to sell it.

Cheers,
Tim

[madfrog]

Even with the 155 in the front the stance still look  right

Nice to see some miles put on that car..sits nice with the 155's for sure. Check out the PIAA/H4 headlights..

[Rennsurfer]

Madfrog, I agree w/Lanny... car sits nicely on the 155s. Lanny, nice touch with the running lights on the front fenders... like the '68 and later Bugs.

Good eye..Finding a correct switch that had the dimmer working properly was futile, I chose to run a new 68+ unit. The clear front marker lenses were NOS from Italy. Another trick..all of the bulb/reflector assemblies were bright cad plated and polished, that's why all of the lights appear brighter. Oops..this is the 'stance' thread.

Worry not about the slight topic change, Lanny. And thank you for walking us through the awesome front marker mods. VERY cool! Great score on the clear n.o.s. Italian model lenses, too. I've always thought that certain countries got clear ones during those model years, but have never fully confirmed it.

Back to the stance subject matter, such as it were.
