Took some pictures of Mike's ZR-1 today

[Aurora40]

Some pictures are pretty good, some not as good, but I figured I'd just post all of them instead of cherry-picking. So some are sort of duplicated. It was a bit sunny, but I think they came out pretty good.

Very nice! Looks like a perfect ride... I want those wheels!

[WB9MCW]

SWEEEEEEEEEET

ALL GOOD AND GREAT COLOR - LOOKS VERY FAST

Hey Mike she looks great, you cant beat a set of 18"FM5's on a black Z. Those center caps look are trick lookin ;) We need to PC your rear calipers red to match the front. where did you get those mud flaps? :cheers:

[94Admiral]

I absolutely love the look of the 18" FM-5's. They are hot!!!

I think the brakes are Baer Eradispeeds?

Anybody have the specifics on this set of wheels (tire sizes, wheel width, offsets, etc.)?

Any other advice on mounting these on top of the Baer brakes would be appreciated as well.

Thanks.

[Aurora40]

Brakes are Wilwood, not Baer. I believe the wheels are 18x9.5" front, and 18x12" rear. He gave them specs on the brakes to make sure they would clear. You would want to do the same, as they may be wider calipers than the Wilwoods. I know mine were. Fikse should know how to offset them to fit a ZR-1.

Tires are 285 and 335 KDWs.

[94Admiral]

Ahhhh....I see the Wilwood now......thanks for the advice on brake clearances. Will need to research what brakes Rippie put on mine...

Tires are 285 and 335 KDWs.

Do you know if Mike is happy with the KDWs Bob?

I need a set of 18" tires and am considering them as they are significantly less costly than the Michelin PS2 alternative....

[Aurora40]

Heheh, he's not driven the car on them yet... I too am curious how they compare in dry grip to the Ecsta XS he had before. I have them on my V, and they can be a little loud.

[Michael Beal]

That is one beautiful set up - your car looks great from stem to stern - congratulations!

[mgg]

Michael , thanks for the nice comments. Now that Jim Voter was kind enough to fix the situation that I could not post I would like to answer a couple of questions that were asked. The new BFGs are great. Even though as they get older they seem to get louder per some reports, I can honestly say they do not seem loud to me. The grip which is the most important to me is very good. My car has headers, exhaust, ported plenum and inj. housings, Haibeck prom and 410's and the car car hooks like crazy. As a matter of documenting it I ran a 1.93 sixty ft. time at the 75/80 drag strip this year with those street tires. Not bad. These tires are very inexpensive and they will dry rot before I wear them out as much as I drive this car. I would by them again in a minute. I want to thank Bob for taking and posting the pics. I just love the car and it is joy to drive.
