  • well, the black SVO is going to be.........

    tri-bar less for autoX from now on.

    picked up my OZ Monte Carlo's with a set of used kumho victoracers.

    I dont have any pics of them on my car as of yet. but I will put them on when I get home from school tomorrow.

    but here is a preview. 255/40/17 victoracer along side a 245/45/17 good year.


    this is the wheel if you dont know what they look like.

        Hey StangerJon,

        Nice car and the OZ's look great. I'm new to SVO's and want to know if the offset on the OZ's is right for the SVO or did you have to roll the fenders? How wide are they?

        While I was looking thru your other pictures I was suprised to see my other car (Black M3) in the background at the Corvette club event in St. Cloud. That was a great day. Its always fun to beat on Vette owners.

        I'm thinking about autoxing the SVO, but will probably stay in stock class, got to spend way too much money to be competitive in street prepared.

              that was a very fun day. I love the st. cloud course. too bad they arent going to have any autox's at that couse any more (for this year atleast, they rasied the price considerably, and no one can afford to run there)


              back to the OZ's. the center of the wheel wouldnt clear the stock hub on the front brakes of the SVO. I was suprised that they fit when I swapped to the wilwoods. but they do.

              I do have my rear fenders rolled. I shouldnt have to roll my fronts, but I'll find out for sure after I start driving with them. I am not sure of the off set though. I do know they are a 17X8 wheel and the tires are 255/40's and they fit great.

                I had to enlarge the hub aperature on the rim to clear the brake hubs. As far as backspacing goes, I am willing to bet they have the same standard SN95 backspacing of 5.72". The rims are now on my 81 Mustang (which has SVO front brakes) with 245/40's, when they were on my SVO temporarily, they would rub in the back, if the fenders were rolled it would not have been an issue.

                They are still heavy SOB's imho,
