Default Couple pics of my 295/55/15 MT DR's
Got the new MT 295/55/15's on today, good size for these cars. No cutting at all, no hammering, totally stock wheel wells. Car is lowered by removing the rubber spring isolators, so maybe 3/4"? They do hit if you let the rear hang on a jack, but so did the 275's.

15X10, 7.5" BS.

Thanks Larry. I'll be calling soon to set up an appointment for a tune. Think I wanna do that new dual flash ecu. Just waiting for some consistent good weather so the drive up won't suck.

The bump stops will hit if I jack the car up. At ride height, I'm good. Not by much mind you, maybe 1/3" clearance. Didn't rub on the drive home though.

that tire is an interesting middle ground btw the 325 and the 275. i am not sure why M/T decided to make three 28" radials, btu its good for us. i have the 325 and they are a bit too wide for a 10" wheel. this might be the ticket.

Sam, looks great. Glad to see that the donated money went to a good cause.

Its an old Glasstek 4" cowl, bolt on. I get some criticism for removing the ss hood, but I sold it for like $500 more than this hood cost me altogether with paint. I personally like the cowl better than the ss hood anyway.

Sounds like you have the exact same idea as me. lol. I sold mine too for a good amount and was gonna go with the extended sunoco but everybody has that so im prolly going with the 4 inch cowl as well. I think they look great on a slick skinny car. Mine will be pin on though, and we might graft fiber class to it to extend it to the windshield as well.

thanks man.
