what caused the front wheels to come in? my drag lites with the same tire are pretty much right at the very edge and very "tucked" looking. also, what is the exact width of the 28W? thanks

width is 10.9 tread and about 13" for the sidewalls i think. FWIW I fit the 28x10.5W w/o tubs and its tucked decently.

Some mods were done to bring in the front about 1.125"

The rear is shortened 1.5 per side
15x10 7.5bs

why did you only narrow the rear 1.5" each side? was it out of a 3rd gen car? i love the narrowed look.

That looks great, but can you make some of the pictures a little smaller. They are hard to look at and then read everyone's comments.
