Metalmaker12's build thread: part 1 "Parts you need"

This exhaust will come out right in the middle, right?

No cat, no muffler, good old style exhaust.

[metalmaker12]

Yeap

That downpipe looks nice. I've never made an exhaust before and doubt it would look that clean if I did.

Mechie, I weld and fabricate all day long so it has become second nature. You do great machine work, I really like your altinator bracket. They both require a high skill set, you could build one just fine. If you have any questions on welding etc pm me, the 20th can not come fast enough. I just got back from stripping another Rex since 3:30 am.

The correct offset wheels.. 17x8 40-45mm offset fronts with 215/40 rubber----- 38,40-45mm offest 17 x9-9.5 with 235-255/40 or 18x9-9.5 with 235-255/35 rears. You can run different stuff, but spacers and or other mods will have to be made. These sizes will work

[Frank818]

255/40/18 rear? That fits without mods?
I thought the FFR recommended max size was 255/35/18.

255/35/18 rear, sorry my mistake, i will edit, but the 40 series might work as well with height adjustment etc.
