Hi Guys,

I am considering a wide front & rear for my 996 Cup car as part of a project to see if I can get it to run with the 2010 997 cup cars. The idea is to run wider rims and rubber front and rear.

Does anybody have experience doing similar conversions and ideas on who could supply the body parts and what width rims/tires they went to.

Many thanks,

Simon

 

grand am front fenders can let you run 10" - 10.5" front wheels, and RSR rear flairs can give let you run up to 14" if you really tried.

u "might" be able to run with 09 cups. but no way in hell can you run with 2010 3.8L cars. i was on track with 6 cups, 7 cups and 3.8L 7 cups. the speed at which the 3.8L cars pass me is way way faster than any cups previous. you need a bit more power in addition to more rubber and be a better drier than the 2010 car's driver.

 

thanks, am running a 3.9l Manthey motor so do have a bit more power over stock

Do you have a source for the Grand Am front fenders ?

Thanks

 

Send Gordon at autometrics an email. Think he still has a used set of grand am front carbon fenders. I believe he also has used 02 and 03 rs front and rear bodywork if you really want a project

ah, 3.9, nice.
i like the livery on your car as well.

parts: autometrics, TRG, GMG

 

We have converted 996 chassis' to 997 Cup S front fenders and 997 GT3RS rear quarter panels. It's a lot of work but looks factory.

 

do you have any pics ?

 

Thanks!

Will follow up with the guys

Do you know what wheels they ended up running ?

 

Car is almost done and will send pics out at that time.........maybe in 2 weeks.
It's been a year long project and will be a one of a kind Cup car.......stay tuned.
