Unless proved wrong, I absolutely do not believe that estoril has 285s. The fitment isn't right. They look wide as hell, but the fitment does not look right at all. I want to see pics of the tire stamping.
Pics of sidewall?
whats the story on the white one? is it running? looks like theres no head or anything
I believe the white one is in the middle of an LS1 swap...and his rear fenders are pulled and or hammered in the inside to the point it cracked, IIRC. I can't exactly remember, but its in his build thread.
EDIT: Here it is...

haha jeez quick respond. i was about to edit my comment after i saw the file name of the pic
Auto-X pic tells me nothing. I'm more than willing to admit I'm wrong if proven so.
I'm a forgetful person.
I don't think the owner has any sidewall pictures, I can't remember what thread its in either or the owners name or else I would go look myself.
The ONE thing I did remember is that he had to run a small spacer to clear his coilovers/shocks
Why is it so hard to believe Spastic?

that estoril on CH's is hawtness.
I can see where you're coming from spastic. The fitment looks off. I had 255s barely squeezed under my fenders and it rubbed my exhaust. It seems like his tires would rub his exhaust too. Either way kudos to him for great fitment.
I'm in need of some 265s at least for my fikses. As soon as I get another set of wheels to run stretch on, I'm gonna get me some fat rubber.
I've got 225/45 fuzion ZRi. And you have a PM.

the white LS1 swap is amazing... the blue one really doesn't look like 285's. 265's are a tight fit, but then it may be a narrow running tire.

The estoril DOES have 285's (or something thereabouts) on it but has a widebody on it that is extremely subtle I believe. The member's name I think is Keda. He used to post a lot back in the day before most you noobies came along
I can't find the thread/post where he described what was done, maybe someone else can.
I don't understand why it's so hard to believe that the estoril has 285 tires. You can tell from the pics available that he tire is not stretched, and being on a ten inch wheel, means it's going to be a wide tire. You can tell from the pictures that the tire is very wide, it looks to be much wider then your average 255 and 265, so I don't see how it's that unbelievable.
There is no way in hell that car has any kind of widebody work on it. You must be confusing it with another car.
