Thanks!. Still 5x100. 225/35/19 front, 245/35/19 rear. plus 30 on the 9.5 inch rear. Camber bolts are a must. Still haven't had it aligned yet, just eyed it. Going to have them camber it as much as possible. I think it's pretty much there already.

Definitely agree with that. Those red centers attract too much attention. Those are very nice wheels. I love how pre-88s can swallow an 8.5" wheel so easy at front. But I think you need bigger tires at the back. With that 9.5" you should have at least 265s.
Car is looking very nice man. Pretty shade of blue you have chosen there. The wheels set it off tastefully. IMHO you need to replace the exhaust tips with some vette tips or something because they would look better and more updated against those nice rims. Also it COULD sit a little lower in the front.... Other than that......PERFECT!! Nicely done and I am sure you are enjoying this nice ride as well you should. Peace
@alex, dunlops run kinda wide, the 265s stuck out too much, plus I like the stretch look. @pete, I was thinking square camaro tips. I'll post a pic later. They're 2x8 and fill the exhaust gap pretty nicely. @fierosmigla helped with the lowering. He said the fronts should settle in and lower another 1/4 to 1/2 inch. If not, I think my only option would be to do the 1" ball joint drop and that's too much. Coilovers are in her future I am pretty sure. Doing the fiero store front and rear sway bars soon. Just sitting in the boxes along with the big brake kit for now...
Sounds good man, Personally I prefer the four tip look but to each his own. The rest of the car is looking very classy. Any plans for engine mods? Peace

Thinking of Supercharged Series II. Problem is it costs more than the chop and the car runs amazing. So... probably chop, then swap.
I am curious as to why if you have plans to chop it that you went ahead and paid for a nice paint job on it? I guess it is a stage build then. Personally a 3800 is in my cars future probably turbo but that will depend on funds. Having driven a couple 3800SC cars I can attest to the fact that they haul ever lovin' ass and run very nice. It is a good fit for this car and really wakes up the performance of the car substantially. It has been done many many times now too so it is a proven entity in my mind and that is always a good thing. The fact that the fastest fiero's around all have the 3800 engine does not hurt any either. Anyways good luck with your build it is looking very nice. Sure wish I was living down there in Florida again. It is really nice up here in East Tennessee especially today but I miss the beach!! peace

The guy that chops is my paint guy. He did @fierosmigla's chop and paint. Knew it would be a while until i did the chop and I want to drive it and have fun with it. He only has to to repaint the top and rear quarter when he does the chop. The guy is a fiberglass and paint master. I think it's worth the extra so that I can have fun for a year or so before I am without it for a month or 2 in the future...
Oh interesting, I was under the impression that FIerosmiglia did his own chop and paint. That black car looks amazingly smooth. Personally I think the archie widebody kits on a non-chopped car look better than a chopped one but that black car is an exception it looks very good and the paint at least in pictures appears flawless. Besides the fiero is kinda low in the ceiling as it is. I can also understand the idea that you would want to drive and enjoy the car while you wait for the choptop opportunity to come by. Anyways, again your car looks very nice and tastefully done. I am sure you will get lots of compliments on it when you drive it around. Enjoy it man. peace
Once you get it chopped, me, you, ron, Pedro, and Dave (fierocious Gt) need to roll out and cruise out and into some non-fiero car shows and watch the jaws drop hehehe.

I'd like an acura TL type, squared/rounded/tapered in on each side. These are only like 20 bucks or less each so easy to sell or give away if I dont like after they're on...
As I said in my previous post I really think the vette tips would look at home on that car. They just look sweet and are nice and shiny!! It would be my choice. hehe peace
Got some compliments last night, along with a "what is that"? Older couple thought it was a new car... Bonus! Wait til it's chopped, then it'll really look like a 2013...
So... My girlfriends sisted asked to borrow a shirt to sleep in. My gf told her to go into my closet and she pulled out a Fiero thermal! I asked my gf if she would put on the shirt she bought me for X-Mas (Fiero Fury) for a picture. She did. HA! What a cool gf I have...

I think the car looks MUCH Better with the Black and Blue Centers over the Reds. Looks like a totally different set of wheels. It looks much cleaner and more factory.

There's just *something* about the styling of this car that I like for some reason...... VERY NICE .
