I see some potential for a VIP look to this van...never really thought much about it before. This obvious is a hot rodder style, but change it up some, and there is a lot of potential

Re: caravan potential

aside from the overgrown neon look, i think it has potential. i would rather do an earlier model, but thats just me.

Re: caravan potential

It does have that Neon on steroids look with this paint scheme but I must admit I like the stance the fitment needs a lil work though.

Re: caravan potential

That's pretty cool. Looks like they would have tubbed it in the rear for sure though. I wonder what they could have done with a fender roll and no tubs, and a roll in the front

fender roll and no tubs, and a roll in the front
a fender roll wouldnt do shit.
you need the tubs.
its like 19x12 or someshit in the rear and 19x10 or shit like that in the front.
check it out on the newest truckin magazine.
the online magazine site doesnt have it.

Yeah, I know, what I was saying is I wonder what are the limits without tubbing it, since tubs are pretty extreme and with other minivans that don't need tubs to fit nice wheels..well, that handicaps the Caravan if it needs tubs to fit wheels that look decent by Vip standards.

Re: caravan potential

Looks like Axis style measuring - lip to spokes, versus lip to face. Not much difference visually with that style though I guess.

Dish is dish. spokes are spokes..so if the spokes angle in all the way..then okay. Now if the spokes actually stop sooner and then the "dish" goes behind them..then yah..that's Axis measuring. What Ray had there was 4.5" of dish in the rear..plain and simple. I can attest to it myself personally having spent countless time around his car...haha.
