Yeah...I had to swap out the staggered 20's for the staggered 22's! My co-worker has been eyeballin' my 20's for weeks! So when the 22's came out...I was ALL over them!

Actually, I was thinking about just getting the 22's for the rear to get that raked look....but....I was made an offer I couldn't refuse...SO 22's all around! :bling:

[Magma]

Cant wait to see em mounted!

[NVRDUN]

Hey, Ernie....can you color match the Foose?












J/K, man........are you still doing that, because I had a few people asking me today about them.

[402 Motoring]

Yeah as long as they not in a hurry. Fired all my help so now I'm on my own. (non family help that is).

[JonzMgnm]

Okay, thanks.:wink:

Okay, thanks.:wink:

Oh I fire them once a day, but for some unknown reason they stick around. Probably think I'm going to make it big someday and they're holding out for that big payday. :blam:

I'll get 'er all cleaned-up and purdy for the next set of pics... These were taken when I first got home from getting them mounted.

I'm not sure, but I need to get my tape-measure...The fronts look as DEEP as the rears!

[monty1269]

Ernie-
Here's another shot for ya! :wink:

[monty1269]

I just can't get over the lip on that front wheel... :drool: What a HUGE difference coming from the 20's....

[DaILLestWun]

Ernie-
Here's another shot for ya! :wink:

Damn that looks sick!!

[NVRDUN]

OOOOOO WEEEEE those are sweet. That is a big difference from the 20"s. Hows the ride on the 22"s??

[monty1269]

Since I had some *slight* rubbing issues, I went with the slightly lower profile tire..I went from a (rear) 295/40, to a 295/30 size tire. Which equates to about a 1" smaller tire. So far no rubbing in the rear! (that sounds kinda funny! :doh: )

ANYWAYS....
The ride is a bit rougher due to the thinner-walled tire, but it also gives you firmer corners....This is ALWAYS the trade-off. thin tire = better handling, "harder" ride. FAT tires = more cushion for the pushin'!

Comprende?

[NVRDUN]

Coprende, the more cushion for the pushin part LOL

[thelastgoodbrother]

How big is your lip? On the car that is:doh:

[monty1269]

Here is that "lip" for ya! That is a standard size business card on there....

First shot...is the REAR tire:

And the FRONT...YES, it is the FRONT TIRE:

Another shot of the FRONT:

[thelastgoodbrother]

I dunno...I might still have you beat on the lip size. Looking sweet...I wish that I could afford to have a set of these too.

[MoparPosterChild]

Do they make 22" Foose Nitrous that will fit the SRT yet???

[402 Motoring]

You can go with 20's if you use a 3mm spacer on the front. 22's will not work. Just ask Lori :Na_Na_Na_Na:

[ExLx]

That sucks, i almost ordered a set locally. These guys around here don't know sqwat. I priced out for Dirty Dog DUBS and Foose Nitrous 22's Staggered and they told me they have bolted on the Dirty's and no issues on the SRT, Rims 22/10.5 and tires 295/30/22 rears and 22/9.5 and 265/35/22 fronts. Now who do i believe? At $825 a rim canadian and $400.00 a tire i kinda want to make sure i'm not throwing my money away.

[402 Motoring]

believe Me They Will Not Fit!!!! The 22" Staggared Will
not ..........i Repeat .....will Not Fit The Srt. Have Not Tried
the Dirty Dogs.

[guest01]

:drool:.../me wants a set of Foose nitrous chrome 22's staggered. I can't trust the local dealers around here - don't know squat. Anyone know of a good Foose dealer in south Atlanta(or Middle Ga) that stock/offer Nitrous 22's?

[402 Motoring]

Sending pm

[monty1269]

Ernie...I gave him yer info already....GO TO 402!!! :geesh: GEESH!

[402 Motoring]

I know but he was asking me about entirely different brand of wheels.....you know I am the "King of Foose" :mrgreen:

[guest01]

Hey I'm new to the Mag forum - just trying to get a feel for things. Thanks for everyone who helped me out - I'm gettin Foose through Ernie. :beerchug:

[monty1269]

Yeah...I KNOW!.....I've bought TWO sets of 'em from you!!! :mrgreen:

Good thing I don't live in GA.... He's eyeballin' my 22's!....Ernie, you powdercoating these things yet?? I know someone that would be interested in that! - I've clubbed him(1FAST4DR) over the head 'cuz he was eyeballin' mine with a impact wrench in his hand! AND I was in the staging lanes at Moroso!!! LOL!

[402 Motoring]

Thanks for you purchase Gavin, your going to love the look!

[RT NOMAD]

Is there any chance that Foose will make the Nitrous without the "bolts"?

[402 Motoring]

[quote=monty1269;1091968]Yeah...I KNOW!.....I've bought TWO sets of 'em from you!!! :mrgreen:

Can you post up some photos of your car so Gavin has something to drool over? I can't seem to find the photos :doh:

[402 Motoring]

Yep they're called the Legends! MikesMag is going to get one of the first sets out of them!

I'm also going to be posting a photo of a special Nitrous that I am working on soon.

[monty1269]

Geesh...... I gotta fill out a W-2 form (402 Motoring)

[monty1269]

Gavin- you DO realise that you can NOT "wear" them to the next SE Shindig ...RIGHT!!??

[RT NOMAD]

Maybe a slight thread jump.
I have Foose Nitrous 18s and 22s on my Prowler.
I like the rims, but they would look much better without the “bolts”.
The question is: Will the new Foose still fit my Prowler?

[guest01]

:mrgreen: Monty,

http://www.miaskatepark.com/blogimg/cuz_1st_place.jpg

Did you lower your car with the 22's or is it stock?

[monty1269]

oooooooohhhhh...Terry = nice!

I was gonna do the 20's up fron...and the 22's on the rear. But then my co-worker bought my old 20's...SO.....done!

[monty1269]

I lowered it...with the Hotchki's kit.....*I* dont think I'd go that low again tho....Maybe the Eibach's are better??

[guest01]

So this is how it starts...one little $25 mod, then $1k here, and $3k there...its spreading! Well, hope I like the 22's without lowering it...if not, then I'll prolly 'drop'(get it? ha) another $500 for a Hotchki kit.

Ernie.....

[monty1269]

sure right....500...then ya' realise ya wanna squash those ricers even more (especially in a "grocery getter") and then you drop 4-5K for the cam/heads...maybe another 2K for the Nitrous setup.... Then you decide to scrap all that and jump into a turbo set-up.....then of course you need to put that power to the ground via torque converter, etc etc etc...

YEP! it goes on and on..... :whew:

[Jaak]

Yeah, seriously... Who'd buy those? LOL! Besides me.

[risky]

Inferno red not staggered though but with stripes. I got to get updated pic's car is now lowered...red with foose looks great, wish I had staggered..And the magnaflows are gone replaced with zoomers.

[guest01]

Has anyone experienced rubbing using Eiback pro lowering springs(EIB-2873-140) with Foose 22's?

Thanks!

[Lori@402Motoring]

Your Foose have left and should arrive to you on Tuesday!!

[risky]

I had foose 22's with eibach pro kit with srt suspension and did not rub but would hit fenders on a nice bump--I still hit on a bump and I changed to ST coilovers

[guest01]

Franfriggintastic...I'm impressed with these rims! Somebody could've warned me how heavy these friggin wheels are. Can't wait to get them mounted - Eibach springs will come in tommorow and hopefully show some pics by Friday/Saturday.

I'm thinking about taking the springs/tires @ TiresPlus for install/mount, but I'm very worried they'll scratch the rims & over-torque the lugs...

Oh, btw...thanks Ernie & Lori!

[monty1269]

SWEET!!!! :rock: There really is no better looking wheel... Then again, I am a *bit* biased! ;)

Thanks Lori/Ernie!

[B_Campbell]

Man those look great, I was the first person with foose nitrous on a 94-96 impala SS, They were grey and I ran adapters to make them work, but then they came out with them for our bolt pattern in 20's chrome, but I really want some staggard 22's in black...

[guest01]

Welp - it's finally done. I have good news and bad news. :sad:

The good news: :mrgreen:

The bad news

The rears rub like crazy on every turn, bump, and bends with ease. Of course, I had 3 passengers, fully loaded. Not sure if that would make a difference, but I wanted it to handle a full load. Looks like it's rubbing on the fenders as I've heard from some folks. I plan to take it to an auto body shop tommorow morning and see if they can roll the fenders. Hope they don't charge me out the ying-yang. And I'm guessing my only alternative would be to install adjustible shocks in the rear? Took the buddy's out for a movie and I cringed everytime I heard it scrap the fender...prolly about ~25 times or so. Had to drive super-slow...and that's a bad thing for me...I have a rep to keep around town!

Any suggestions?

[risky]

Rears never hit on mine, the fronts hit the fender on a big bump. Did you go with the pro-kit or the sportline?

[guest01]

Went with the pro-kit. I've been driving around by myself and one passenger and it doesn't hit. Just when I have a couple folks in the back - but this is driving very cautiously.

Question on rolling the fenders. How do you deal with the inner fender well? I assume after rolling the inner fender, the wheel well no longer secures to the lip? I've yet to find to a body shop capable(or wanting to...) of rolling the fenders.

Btw....I luv em :mrgreen:

[guest01]

Anyone know the cause to why my right front left tire sticks out further than my right? I just did a camber alignment at the shop...what gives??
