Pics of my new 335/30/18 Toyo Proxes

[Mustang Matt]

This is my in progress 96 turbo cobra.

Got these 335/30/18s mounted and balanced on Ruff Racing 278 wheels (11.25" rears) right before the snow and haven't driven on them yet. Car has coil overs in the back so I can adjust the height as I get more comfortable with them. No tailpipes and it's got a MM panhard/torque arm setup so no quad shocks. I used a 1/4" spacer because they seemed really close to the parking brake brackets, but I may modify the brackets and ditch the spacers. Car also has inner and outer fenders rolled.

Well with 245s I was getting side ways at 70 mph. Hopefully these will make the difference.

Where did you get 11.5" ones from? Price?

I have 9.5" ones and I thought that was as wide as they got.

 

[Mustang Matt]

They were widened by some shop in Texas by the previous owner.

Unfortunately. Just during the winter though. 3 car garage and 4 cars and I didn't want to scrape ice off the glass every morning!

those are huge. more pics!

I'll get it all waxed up this week and post some more.

Well it's finally thawing here so I'll probably swap the computer tomorrow and upload the tune and see if that fixes the odd problems I've been seeing. If it does I'll finish the tune and hit the dyno. If it doesn't, it means there's something wrong with the O2 wiring and I'll have to track it down. Really hoping the computer does the trick.

I don't believe I did any splicing or cutting on the 02 sensors.

 

[yuke175]

how did you go about rolling the fenders? any problems with paint cracking?

Yah, I'm pretty sure it's going to end up being the computer. I think it's on the way out. I would have swapped it out tonight but we had company over.

poisonpony96 actually rolled the fenders on this car. I've done it on my other car with an eastwood fender roller and I did have paint cracking problems even with using a heatgun. $800 later the fenders are repainted.

 

[poisonpony96]

I rolled the fender think I used pliers and a hammer just took it slow. just like I did my car now yeah there is cracking but up underneath plus had plans on repainting that car but.

Grabbed another shot tonight. Tried a new computer but it turns out, even if computers are binary compatible they aren't necessarily hardware compatible... I was running on 6 cylinders, so back to the drawing board. Anyone have an LLX3 or LLX4 computer laying around?

 

[poisonpony96]

Thats weird. Seemed fine when i had it. What did you do?
