Well I did it. My baby has new shoes! Sorry its a bad pic guys. Digi cam sucks. Better pics tomorrow. BTW...Keep in mind to each is own. lol

Oops, lemme move this to the CTS section! :)

Nooooo...I didnt want to make it strictly a CTS thread. Other people have pics of their cars here. :(

now thats what i'm taking about!!

a girls ridin' harder the than the boys...

way to go wendy, stay up...

Oh and I forgot to say it also has the 1 and 1/4" drop. ;p

BTW...Keep in mind to each is own. lol

Like you meant to say... to each their own... just not for me :p

you were able to drop it with the 22's? Do ya know what the offset on your wheels is?

Post some other pics when you get a chance, looks good!
The question now is can the loons on the forum not jack this thread into yet ANOTHER big rim bash fest?!?!

Nope...sure can't "not" hijack it. :D

I don't like it...buuuuuuuut, if you do, that's good. It's YOUR car, so build it the way YOU want...I just think it looks like ... ... ...

I want my 30 seconds back.

:LittleB::RightTurn::blonde::gg:

I love it. What I wanna know is how you pulled off the Drop and still went with 22's! I'd love that setup.

Well thanks guys for the comments. These cars fenders seem to bigger then I thought. I used the Eibach kit and took out the inner fender. Other than that no other mod's were done to make them work. The offset is a +38. I mean it is close however I drove it and we put it through several test to make sure it didn't rub or scrub. It even turns and makes u-turns well. I will be getting better pics today and posting them.

As for the comment of having your 30 sec's back. No one told YOU to click on a thread that says "I got 22's" sweetheart!

Oh, and I missed the "h" when I was typing. Shame on me for not proof reading. However, the saying is "to each his own" actually. ;)

Also, the poster that said..As long as "you" like them. Well you are right! I do like them and that's what matters. :) Thank you for being polite. heh

Nooooo...I didnt want to make it strictly a CTS thread. Other people have pics of their cars here. :(

this thread is cts-specific and belongs here, thanks

Dam those look huge, how much do each way?

Ok....Maybe "I" am having a blonde moment this morning.lol Could someone please tell me where the edit button is? I left a small word out of one of my post. Typing to fast to early this morning.:p

Also, to be honest I have no idea what they weigh. Seeing that I wasn't going to racing this car I never gave it much thought.

You only have a few minutes to use the edit button, then it disappears.
What do you want fixed and I can fix it for you and delete these posts.

Shawty riddin big, get it! :drool:

girlie what are you compensating for? tits

*paging Koz*

sorry ... we can't be friends now...

on principal

Looks pretty good! now, we just need some pics of you!

Also, I see youre from NC. Im a HUGE Panthers fan btw....

Looks good but way to big for my likings

I know where grossman lives :D wanna go do some damage ;)

Damn it looks so good I want to lick it! :tongue2: Oh, and the second pic is why I didn't buy the V.:sneaky:

that's cutting it pretty close up front...

Damn it looks so good I want to lick it! :tongue2: Oh, and the second pic is why I didn't buy the V.:sneaky:

bah ... skinnies in the back ...

buy a real import next time

i'd have sold you my V8 Rx7

aA0v2Qq-l-I

if you ain't got nuthin' good to say, why don't you go back to the V forums...

Why bother buying an import if you are going to take the heart out of it? I have seen several with that motor swap. Couldnt really hear the time, but it sounded like an 11 something. Like I said not sure though. Oh, and dont be fooled. I love my fwd baby but I can lay all four down if I so choose. ;) These little 4 cylinders run anywhere from 7s up to 18s..Guess it all depends on how you mod it. So the way I see it. No need to take away from the fact that its an import. If I wanted a V8 I would have bought one. Thats just me though.:thumbsup:

:luvu:i think im in love......great looking cts

Damn it looks so good I want to lick it! :tongue2: Oh, and the second pic is why I didn't buy the V.:sneaky:

Why is that Talon jacked up in the back? Things must be different in NC...

how's the ride after 22"?

christ almighty people... grow a thicker skin... lol

i'm sure the talon is fast, its a good looking car, i've owned Turbo 4's before

just saying it looks funny to me is all


if you can't take a little ribbing maybe ya'll need to go back in the playpen for a little while

we;re all friends here

Jeez..Sounds you might be the one that got a little ribbed. lol Its just natural to talk a little shit. Guess it comes from racing and being female. Didnt mean to ruffle your feathers. Not here to make enemys. Oh, and thats the Eclipse that looks jacked up in the fwd. Its called the rake effect. More for racing purpose.

Sorry Girlie, I think it looks like.............

okey dokey...

no ruffled feeathers here...i don't see where anyone talked shit to me

I'm new to racing....:sneaky:

OMG! LMAO....Thats great. So why not be more honest next time? heh

Think about it... With fwd I want all the weight on the the front tires. ;)

Think about it... With fwd I want all the weight on the the front tires. ;)

This is a perfect "Yeah, but" situation.......I understand the concept. So according to you, the higher you jack the car the better the ET's. :annoyed:

Oh dear God..Do you REALLY think I jacked up the rear? Its called lowering the front with much stiffer struts and spring, and only stiffening up the rear. Not to mention when you remove around 500 lbs of unneeded weight. That tends to happen. However, if I can pull off low 1.6 60s in it. Then I guess its working. ;)

swift back in tha house!!!

what it is...

:luvu:i think im in love......great looking cts

I have never seen a car, including FWD cars, with the front end slammed and the rear "jacked" at the track or on the street. Oh wait, I do see people on the street with that set up but they are KNOWINGLY poking fun at themselves.

But thumbs up to you for those 60 foot times:thumbsup: You proved a good point, the car doesn't have to look good at all, it's all about who crosses the finish line first.

My point exactly...I could care less if its eye pleasing to everyone. It gets the job done, and thats what matters.


Lets see...Turbo in one hand, paint job in the other..Hmmmm hard decison. lol

ok i'm gonna get bashed for thsi also because i have "oh my gosh" a V... and i'm posting in the CTS forum

but, i think you might be able to do a little better in the 60' if you took a little more spring rate out of the front rather then continually raising the rear

i was pulling 1.4x 60's in a GTI that had way way way less power than what you're making with that 4g63

but what do i know

1.6's are badass... but you can alwasy do better, just posting what helped me

~Note..My comments in this post only refer to a fwd vehicle. So no need to explain how rwd, awd etc. works.

Thanks, Wendy


Wow...1.4? That's pretty amazing. I would LOVE for you to tell me your trick for traction. Are you sure you didn't mean a 2.4? (Not trying to be funny) Now think about this, and I am in NO way making excuses. You are fighting power vs traction. So the MORE power you have. The less traction you are going to have. So yes you are right. With a good driver a basically stock car is going to have a better 60' automatically. Because they aren't having to fight wheel spin. Now a 1.4 better? I personally have never seen a stock car do it. I have only seen 8 and 9 and a hand full of 10 sec. cars (1/4 mile) cut those kind of 60's. I spin 1st -3rd and still cut low 1.6s. So I am sure if I didn't have that spin I would be much lower. Hell in my awd the best I could cut is a 1.56

Oh and I really don't want to see this thread gets out of hand. Also, I am in no way mad, or upset. I actually enjoy a good conversation. So please don't take my post out of context.

Are you saying a stock car will have better 60 foot times than a modified car?

And you think you have no control over the concept that MORE power = LESS traction. If you know how to plant the power CORRECTLY (i.e. suspension), you theory doesn't hold true. Trust me, when it comes to a stock version VS. a modified version of the same car, the modified SHOULD have better times. But that's only if the person who setup the car KNOWS how to put the power to the pavement:thumbsup: Oh just to clear things up I'm not mad or upset either, especially since I'm laughing too hard.

Lets see....Slicks, Lowered spings in the front with struts set to full soft. Limited slip, prothane mounts, rear springs and struts set to full stiff. Set to 8 on the AGX's to be exact. etc. However, you are right..I have NO idea how to set up my car. Nor am I the fastest fwd DSM 16g non spraying turbo record holder. So you win! heh


Oh, and still not mad... laughing to hard about that 1.4 60 to be mad. :P

Ok...Since I am having a hard time explaining what I am trying to say. Let's give this scenario.

A 200 hp street car on street tires vs a 500 hp street car on street tires. The 200hp car is going to get better traction any day. Do to wheel spin on the higher hp car. Get it? Hence the reason I don't run stock suspension or street tires.

In an earlier post you said your car was AWD, Why isn't this guy's race car slammed in the front and jacked in the back...

Maybe he didn't get the memo.....

Actually I think YOU may have missed the memo. Or maybe just didnt read all of the thread or look at ALL the pics I posted. My Eclipse is FWD(black car), and My Talon is AWD(red car). Get it? I have two completely different set ups on those cars. Keep up will ya?

:tsucks:

meh... all i gotta say about the entire "argument" is i spent $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on suspension....

thats all

meh... all i gotta say about the entire "argument" is i spent $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ on suspension....

Bah...Money still doesnt make a good driver. Please share your set up, launch and traction secrets.

Im still waiting...That is all!

waaayyyy too technical for me people--I'll stick to racing around exit ramps...

Its called the rake effect. More for racing purpose.

haha racing through a pile of leaves!

CTSgirlie, It's attack of the Killer V's.....:want:

I am probably one of the few V owners who think bling/rice look cool, as long as done properly. I think her car, and most CTS look good with large wheels. Just not for me. I think 18s are too big and heavy, and hurt performance. But, ya gotta clear the brembos somehow.

booooooooooo-urns.

this thread blows.

LOCK + BAN.

:suspense:

omg omg omg! this thread should be locked! and we should be banned! oooooohhhh nnoooooo! another 22s disaster!!!!

Alright now...No playing until all those leaves are raked and bagged!! Oh and thanks for the compliments. :)

Oh and see...How unfair is it that you guys turned my thread into big booty, and now Its going to be locked?

ok sorry im late... all v members go to the appropriate place for your car(and roller skates). as for the 22's they look sick but the ass needs to be dropped more IMO:alchi:

by the way what kind of rims are they?

You're a racer and put those rims on your caddy? I question that move but like you said to each his/her own. I went with 20's strictly for a racier look. I'm in love with the competitive allure of the CTS body(much like a womans). I'm a racer through and through but I still hate to see a caddy taken to extremes without retaining the class the Cadillac deserves.

Did you say you took out your inner fender wells? For real? If I am understanding you right you removed your inner fender wells to fit rims on the car? I don't even know what to say to this idea. It is very rare that I am at a loss for words.

i did the same to my fenders:D

i did the same to my fenders:D

YUP ME TOO

Thanks again guys. I did lower the rear. I did the all around 1 and 1/4 Eibach setup. I agree I dont like how the rear looks higher. I have thought about putting the stock springs back up front just to maybe level it out. The wheels are Tyfun wheels. As for the inner fenders. Its PLASTIC man...No big deal, and they CAN be put back in. ;) Oh, and I choose the 22s because the car is not a V. If it had been. I would be on the lookout for 17s for it. lol You car looks good with those 20s. I just like to be out of the norm, and I had to have something that broke away from racing.

you cant fit 17's on a v, the bakes are to big. and i hope to god that you did not say my rims were 20's:thepan::thepan::thepan::thepan:

I have heard there are a handful of 17's that will fit. Oh lol and sorry if it looked that way. I was kind of combining my response to a couple of you at once.

Where'd you hear that? There isn't a CTS-V in existence running 17s... :p

I'll never tell. :shhh:

what we need is a 22"+ thread for us cts owners to were only people with 22"+ of chrome between there cts can post, and jon if he wants cause hes cool like that:)

lol.

I mean... I don't understand the whole 22 thing, but I won't be like "omg you guys suck" either. I'll just sit back and enjoy the pics :p

maybe it's just me... but I personally would not feel too comfortable driving through rain and normal road conditions with no inner fenders.

especially up front with the drl/fog wiring fully exposed...

tsk tsk tsk...Juan Juan Juan. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't read it myself.what we need is a 22"+ thread for us cts owners to were only people with 22"+ of chrome between there cts can post, and jon if he wants cause hes cool like that:)

invite only...hmmm that sounds discriminatory and elitist...

i'm gonna go back to the V forum where at least we're open about it

No because it would get high jacked too and these old codgers wouldnt have anything else to get out of their rocking chairs for.:P

Bah...Money still doesnt make a good driver. Please share your set up, launch and traction secrets.

Im still waiting...That is all!

it involved something called a clutch stop, a 2 step, some work on the rev limiter, some springs, some new struts, and some other stuff...

yeah i suck as a driver i have no idea what i'm doing ... i can't even drive a manual...

buuuuuuugh where's my drool cup

invite only...hmmm that sounds discriminatory and elitist...

i'm gonna go back to the V forum where at least we're open about it

So what are you saying? We are in the closet? lol

no just a little behind the times when it comes to being open about your discriminatory tendancies

to be honest... if you didnt have to pull the inner fender wells and you had a little bit less rim and alittle more "rotor" showing i'd like it better...

but to each their own

i just don't wanna see any threads about how you hyrdolocked your engine with no inner fender liners in place little miss:p

nope... a grant prix...

yes there is but i feel i must close my mouth(LMAO perfect set up for the expose the previous poster thread:D)

Damn you've got me pegged. lol Actually I am more along the lines of the booty chic pic a few pages back. lmao

oh man, i get off the computer for 7 hours and the tread turned into this?!

i left my inner fenders in!!! what!!?!!

and juan, is it just me or does your CTS sit higher than mine?!?

I say shes hot. I'm just going out on a limb here. I'm old though so my opinion doesn't count as much as the "younger" crowd apearantly...

i really wish you were some punk kid living at home with mom spending thousands on rims and tires, not just some punk kid spending thousands on rims and tires

Wow, I am impressed.. 14 pages in a couple days! I definitely like the low profile look, especially when lowered. I just don't have the heart to lower mine, or upgrade the 20's.

Nice work!

Would you still consider him to be a punk kid if he is older than you? Just wondering, because you are in that "punk kid" age group also, as am I.. I just don't think the two are related. Heck, we drive caddy's, thats more Sunday's golfing that skater punk, lol!! :histeric:

umm.... you do know you're younger then me......:thepan:

you beat me to it, that's funny as hell.

i know... thats the point

AHHHHH!!! I called it early, 22'' threads are like throwing gasoline on a camp fire around here! Is the fuel exhasuted yet?

Nice color choice on your car girlie! Blue Chip is faster then black-a-lac as everyone knows, the blue color alone adds like 24 HP!:lildevil:

Yeah the light has to be just so, when takin' pics. It always looks black in pictures.

True... but you act just like them. ;) :) Oh well... different strokes.

i don't see how RB acts like them honda dudes!?!

i'm pretty sure he doesn't race his CTS around... and i don't see him lowering it, instaling loud mufflers, putting a wing or stickers on it...

and as fas as i know he doesn't have some unpainted broken ground effects on his sh*t either...

All this talk about big wheels this and big wheels that. Thank god he doesn't do the other things! This place just sounds like the honda boards now. Wheel fitment issues, rubbing issues, lowering, etc. etc. Its all the same. I've known RB for a while now, he and I get along just fine and he knows I'm going to give him a hard time... he'd probably be worried if I didn't.

ummm oof im in the punk kid age group i guess... 22 yrs old. but i have a job and fend for myself! peace out moms and pops

I'm 22. So what's your point?

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

i couldn't agree wit'cha more...

sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

Just so you know. I'm 39 and would drive a V around everyday in full race trim...whale tail and all. No problem.

This is how I roll, bitches! Pulled my inner fender liners out and slightly raised the suspension, but I'm totally ballin' now so it was worth it.

is there any room for air in those tires? what do you do when you encounter a road with potholes?

pick up the pieces :histeric:

You look where you are going and piss a lot of people off that are driving behind you.

I had 235/40/18 on another car; low profile for sure, but not what you guys are running; I bubbled three tires and bent two rims before I bailed and went back to my 235/45/17. Of course I am on wonderful Chicago roads. :mad:

Noooo Problemooo Over Here In Beautiful Southern California

I switch between the stock 17's for winter and the 20's the rest of the season. Granted they are not 22's, but as far as pot holes go I haven't seen a difference. I dented a 17 in a fairly large one a year ago, but feel like I've hit ones just as big with the 20's and was ok. I did bubble a tire once, but now my new ones are under warranty for that. Maybe TIS are just really well made but I fully believe that if I hit something big enough it's going to dent either one of them.

I drive mostly on DC, VA, MD roads which aren't great but I also travel through the backwoods on Pennsylvania to go back home to Buffalo frequently and neither Pennsylvania or Western NY have great roads. I also hit a huge one over the GW bridge on my way to Connecticut the other week with the 20's and everything was ok. It was something I worried about before I actually had experienced them.

The only thing I dont like about big wheels without big brakes

Those aren't tires....

No matter how "straight ballin'" you are, there's always someone ballin' it straighter than you.

Look at this bitch ballin it's ass off!

Hmmmm I wonder who's wheels those are? lol Thats why I went with the full faced rim. Now I dont have to worry about everything looking pretty behind the wheel. However, if you have done all the upgrades it can look good though.

stock rims or after market rims.. big or small whatever... its everyones own preference and what they like or want, noone can sit here n say I dont like or I do like.. its the owner of the car that has to like... noone can critique a persons choices.. it may not fit your style etc.... If I do not like something I do it plain n simpele.. I just dont comment... when I like something I will comment.. but noone is here to let anyone down on there decisions. Everyone here drives a Cadillac, yea? so thats what this forums are about.....:arghh:

oh my................................................ .................................................. .....

actually i've got a 13" 4 piston rotora brake kit homie...

:luvu:

opinions are like @ssholes...

one of my favorite quotes I ever read on here was from a guy commenting on another's rim choice. He said and I quote "those look like you stole them off Elvis's hay wagon". I was in tears from that one. This is all entertainment if you let it be.

my opinion is like my *******, dark, smelly, and fraught with danger

:luvu:

Awwww I feel the love!:gurl: Also, I have noticed we have similar taste in wheels. lol What kind of wheels are those?

MM MMM MMMMMM......MUST BE LOVELY JUST LIKE A CTS ON 22'S

I never called her that when she was that fat, actually at the time I did not even realize it. It wasnt until 6 months later when I was copying home video onto dvd that I saw the video of her the night before we went to the hospital. I should post before/after pics, it is hilarious. Now that she is (relatively) trim and fit, I have no problem saying she USED to be shamu.
Anyway, I find skinny women unattractive. I find skinny wheels unattractive too. To hell with 22s, gimme some 305s!

Hey, girlie has +38's too...nicetitsWell look at that...I bet they are a +38 too? hehe:RightTurn:

I guess I'm a little late to this but, eh...I like 22's....but I had em on my big ass tahoe...They just look out of place on the cts....and my chance to whore my old truck starts now.....

hey CTSgirlie, did you do an upgrade on the brakes on your cts for the 22's? or do you even have a problem with excess wear on brake pads with the 22's? i was thinking about putting 22's on a deville but didn't have the money to put brakes on too...

The brakes are not upgraded. I spoke with other members and they have stated that it was a waste of money. They did it primarily for looks due to open wheels. The brakes feel great. I do not follow close to other cars so I do not have to brake hard. IMO, you will be fine without the upgrade.:2thumbs:
