Re: Asanti, HRE, CCW, wheel thread(Let's see what wheels the V looks best on).

No rubbing under normal conditions, there is some rubbing under the following conditions:
1) when both of my 600-lb sister-in-laws 'fill out' the back seat
2) when my delinquent buddy picks up a rental honey on the boulevard

The motor's power still allows for rolling burnouts in second gear, and sometimes in third gear.

BTW, is the guy who crushes every car in street races really going after your Snake, I would like some action on that bet.

Did your ever visit ViperAlley.com, those guys are brutal, they bash everyone including vendors.
I, too, am in the MB business, its ugly right now, hoping FHA is the answer, as too many lenders are either packing it in, or killing me with LTV reductions and rate hikes. I have seen tough times in the early 90's, but this looks like it may get worse.

I'm getting 750 fico, 80%ltv, cash out declines right now. I've been in it since 97 and have never seen anything like it. I wanted to drive the viper into the Pacific on the way home last Thursday! 3 loans at funding last week for a total of 50k in rev GONE because ABC Counduit went out of business! That was an expensive day. over!

Thankfully I had no loans in the pipe with ABC, but New Century screwed me on five loans in rescission three months ago, of which three were never able to close. Looks like the wifey may have to start taking a few shifts at the hospital-man, oh man, is she going to be pissed!

Chef,
Looks like you need to go with a flare kit and 325-345s in the rear given your power.
... and don't give up on the V, I have been through some tough times with mine, but after such I grow fonder and realize that unloading her would be a surrender. The V has issues, but I can get through them, as on a good day no other comes close. Good luck to you my brother, you will endure!!!

Re: Asanti, HRE, CCW, wheel thread(Let's see what wheels the V looks best on).

MY 295's rubbed on hard dips, but that was it. I was running positive camber though because I didn't like the way they towed in at the top. Running 275's now.

You actually preferred having the tires leaning out at the top? Can't say I've ever seen that before.

Huh, they quoted me the same for 18" C14s. I woulda thunk 19s would be more expensive. Maybe I should just cave and get the 19" SP600s if they're gonna be $2600, too.

Angry Re: Asanti, HRE, CCW, wheel thread(Let's see what wheels the V looks best on).

It has been really difficult to find 20's with a 6X115 bolt pattern which will clear the rear calipers. I ordered some 20 X 8.5's from Zinik for my '07 V - they guaranteed fitment(by phone and on website). The front fit, the back would not clear. Spacers are potentially a little risky from my standpoint, so I sent them back. D'Vinci has supposedly guaranteed fitment on a set of staggered rims (Ventos) with different offsets in the front and rear. Rubber? 245/35 on the front and 255/30 on the back. We shall see....I should get delivery next week.....what a frustrating experience to try to find wheels with a 6X115 that will clear the badboy Brembos.

I have Dvinci DV50. They said that those are the only ones that fit the car. I did have to use small spacers in the back though. I wanted Staggered but ended up with just 9" all the way around. Not sure if you say the pic on how they look.

Solid feed as usual onebadcad! You're right. Plus I have a new hat that just got sprayed for close to 7 clams (pick it up in a week)...p.s. - it has a v logo on it and my name so I have to finish what I started..

On the flares - I'm going to cut the fronts and blend them in to fit at least 275's in all 4 corners to start.
