So I haven't posted up anything about my project car. It's a 94 Cobra that I am swapped a 98 Viper drivetrain into that I've dubbed "Sniper" (SN-95 + Viper)...Anyway since the car is a strict street car now I shed the Welds for some new wheels. They're 20x9, 20x11 Forgelines that I had made. I could not be happier and I am pumped to get the car running now just so I can drive it! I also have a set of Wilwood 6 piston brakes with 14" rotors on the way. The motor and trans are completely installed and the firewall has been re-fabricated and the cage is in the works. After that I begin fabbing up the twin T-76's :D........here's how she looks now. Keep in mind that the rears tuck in a little too far but they will be pushed out once the IRS and 3/4" Maximum Motorsports spacers are in;-)

Thanks a lot guys!

And trust me it doesn't really fit. It sits 8-9 inches inside the passenger compartment and we had to totally fabricate a K-member that sits 2 inches lower then stock, cutsom oil pan and MANY other one off parts. As soon as it's running I plan to post a very detailed build thread

Thats an awesome project! Those wheels like sweet...but will you get any traction with those?

probably not much!lol...but they are strictly for street duty and I doubt there are any street tires out there that will help much with 1000 rwhp. I can always throw the Welds on when I wanna make some passes.:coolman:

not true, MT makes some nice ETs as well as BFG DR's and so does NITTO DRs

those wheels are hideously too big, should of got them in 17"s
Last I checked the 90's came and went...if you woulda said 18's I would have even let it slide...but 17's?? Anyway, everyone has their own style. Some will love it and some will hate...lucky for me I like 'em

Nitto DR are useless in 1st and 2nd in my lil coupe...I am sure they wont help with double the power. Very cool ride that is very different. I like the idea of people taking a chance in building something unique. Just wish I had the extra $$$ right now to do something along those lines.
