Like those rims on the Regal.... what kind are those? would you mind sharing the specs .. width , Backspacing and tire size?

They look very simular to a set on a tricked out Mercedes in my area .. I liked them.

How didyou get your so low?

Again sharp set up!!

Stg1Regal I'm not sure which set of rims that your talking about. If your talking about the 17's those are 17x8 all the way around, with a 4.5" backspacing, 245/45/17 tire in the front, and 275/40/17 tire in the rear. Now, if you are talking about the 20's, those are 20x8.5 all the way around, 5.5" backspacing with a 1.5" adapter, and the tires are 235/35/20 all the way around but i'm going to change the reaqrs to a wider tire.

For the stance I used Belltech spindles, Moog Monte SS springs, Monroe shocks, tubular upper control arms, and stock lower control arms with Energy Suspension Bushings, and Mood upper and lower balljoints. And for the rear I have Belltech springs, Monroe shocks, Metco lower control arms, and for now stock upper control arms.

Thank you very much!!!!!!!! 😀

Me likes! Great looking car and work!

Thanks alot, choosing to do the work myself does a couple of things for me. One, i put alot of time energy, and pride when i'm working on the regal. And in return i get it all back, when i can stand back and look at the regal and say, "i built that", with so much pride its a great feeling. Also, when i hear or read comments(good or bad), that's just fuel to the fire to keep me going. And the second thing is well hell every loves to save some money. 😀

Thats whats up big homie!! WOW!! I swear our cars mirror each other. Beautiful job fam! Get ready for a gang of pm's on how to do things from me bruh! LOL! I just started doin things myself after getting burned by shops. Like you said.."And in return i get it all back, when i can stand back and look at the regal and say, "i built that", with so much pride its a great feeling." Hell yeah!! Thanks for shootin me the pm on your build. Got me motivated as hell to get on the S now. Been moving into a new crib. 3 car garage so you know where I'll be most of the day :wink: I'll be checkin back for inspiration. Bad *ss build bruh..

I think 245/45/17s & 275/40/17s look really good on g-bodys as they have enough height & width to compliment the body lines well. Also you can get a 275/40/17 in a drag radial so they can even hook well enough to be quick. Recently been studying the 18s and M&Hs now has a drag radial in an 18 that should work & fit if you don't mind a little bigger tire. Something to think about when you have big block Buick torque factory rated to 510 foot pounds back in the day second to only the big Caddys is that the 20s will be slipping like you are on black ice. Having economy cars leave you at the lights would suck.
