91 TT STEALTH WHEELS & RIMS by parlak

Can anyone tell me how 18 in rims with 275/35-18 tires will fit and preform on the vehicle. I am concerned about rubbing in the front. The specifications say it will work providing I have the right offset on the rims. It calls for about a 45 to 50 offset. Would you have any coment to this and what experience have you may you have had with idea. Can you recommend any particular tire or rim, as I am looking for more handling than longevity. It sits in the garage most of the time. I have it completly modified, and running around 500 horsepower. Very stout machine. Can you comment on the Vredestein sessanta's and the drag dr31 rims. Apprecite your imput anyone.
Thanks Steve

some times floods out when starting by tiebeamman

My 1992 twin turbo dodge stealth starts up fine after setting over night, and starts up fine just after shuting off engine, but most of the time after setting for an hour or so it seems to sound like it floods itself out. After letting it run for a bit it will clear itself up. I have put new injector, plug wires, plugs, and numerous sensors one the car.Fuel pump has been checked and is fine. And also i have put a new computor on the car.

Converting '91 RT to Turbo? by dreamer16

My son is in Iraq and just before he left he asked me to try to get his '91 RT converted to a turbo motor. It is a custom Stealth with a RT motor. The motor blew back in October just before he deployed. With extra cash he gets from being in a war zone he has asked if I would try to get his Stealth not only repaired, but he'd love to have it modified to be extremely quick and fast. Anyone have any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this. He returns mid February and I'd love nothing more than to be there waiting with his Stealth read to roll. He has limited cash naturally, so that may completely make this a moot point?

You know, this doesn't sound like the best way to spend his money. This is a rather large heavy car to begin with, and I don't think it's ever going to be that "fast" compared to starting with something more modern and durable.
 
Just my two cents.

I agree i don't think it is a very good way to spend a yourng man's
money just getting out of the service. But the car is fast and beautiful. How fast can you go now days on our busy highways anyway! And i have spent alot of money in just replacing new parts, some of which it didn't need and were easy
to get to the engine. But i think at this day and age it would be best for
someone with a limited amount of money to buy new with a warrenty.
But if he still does want to convert his old with a blown engine to twin turbo.
For get it. Lots of money. My car is the way to go.I have already spent the money.
I have been a little obsessed with my car also, but it is time to let it go too someoneelse.

I hear you, but at the same time, the car is a complete custom set up. Shaved with no protrussions on the body at all. Over $2,500 invested in the interior to make it like a sound room. Beefed up brakes and a competition clutch etc. The only thing that had not been done was the motor. The original owner didn't care that much about the speed end of things, he was more into the esthetics. Anyway, my son now wants to "finish the job." Since the RT motor died he wanted to do it now. I've found TT motors (jdm) rebuilt with between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. I think the hard part is knowing how much additional cost I'm (he) is going to find as he makes the switch. Thanks... any additional comments are definitely welcome.

Here's a guy who has apparently done it, and you can see from his lists and reports that this is a formidable task:

You're looking at a lot of money unless you know how to do these mods yourself---even then you have a lot of conversions and special fitting to do.
 
Seems to me he could just go buy a nice Stealth TT for $10,000 bucks and probably end up with a better car for less money.
