bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 you know, its only supposed to be 2 inches wider in the rear http://auto-specs.zercustoms.com/d/delorea...ifications.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 Here's some better shots. I flipped the textures back so it looks better. Yes the back wheels are fat. That's why I scaled them the bad way. And the rims are being changed as are the tires. the tires are flat on the side walls. I'm going to make them poofy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 your scale is still off between the two wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 no duh. I said that's why they were scaled the BAD WAY. Meaning that's how they lost the concave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 its not the concaveness thats ticking me off. Its rather the fact that the rims are sticking out like the tires are too small for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 well, that will be fixed after I'm done with poofing the side walls of the wheels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orgcon 11 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 what th- *boom* DK! Both front and back wheels are supposed to be the same size, It not a gragster! The back tire is supposed to be a bit fater from the rim thats all (and not width ways like you have either). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 you can change the handling to do that you know. I remember VC had a bloodring banger mod that made it do rwheelies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The back tire is supposed to be a bit fater from the rim thats all (and not width ways like you have either). Er, no they aren't, the front wheels are in fact slightly smaller than the rear wheels, obviously not quite to the extent shown in the images, but, DK has already said, bad scaling...

Dragon King 15 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 ok I'm back. I rescaled them properly this time using Carlos' Wheels: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 still too fat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orgcon 11 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) NO NO NO! I said the wheels (RIMS) are supposed to be the same size (except the back rim which is fatter), the back tires on the other hand are bigger! (hence why he rear rim is wider, cause it has to house a bigger tire) Making the rear wheel appear bigger when it isnt!

Mike 214 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 I prefer the standard rims, those pimped versions don't do anything for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 same. But I"m only posting them for dimension checking, which DK apparently hasn't listened to me in doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orgcon 11 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 There must be more than one standard issue then, the ones I saw in Real Life where the same size! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 that too. Jeeze DK, didn't I tell you REFERENCE PICTURES Hey I don't need the attitude. I did use reference pictures. And the front rim looked smaller to me. And the wheels aren't too fat. They are like carlos' wheels. so go bug him. I measured and modeled. They are correct from the measurements I obtained.

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 well, it still looks weird. Its annoying me that not much has changed since that convo we had. and when did delorean.com get upgraded? They're like advertising now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 214 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) There must be more than one standard issue then, the ones I saw in Real Life where the same size! Nope, there was only ever one size of wheels for the front and rear. If the one you saw had wheels the same size, then A ) they would have been aftermarket wheels and B ) it wouldn't sit level, it would be angled. Edit - have a look at this webpage, it lists all the production changes to the delorean over the course of it's production: http://www.babbtechnology.com/thecar/Prod_changes/index.htm Edited December 16, 2009 by Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted December 16, 2009 well, for one thing, in both our pictures mike, perspective does play a part in it because the front wheels are shorter, and that might make them appear smaller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
