Default slammed f-bodys with 325/50 or 28/10.5 no tubs

dont care about rear width or backspacing as long as your not tubbed whose done it and got pics?
how low did you get it without running into problems? i know im going to have to cut the trans tunnel but want to keep the stock plastics on the sail panels uncut...

I'm getting a big red 'X' for that pic lol.... ?

I'd like to see some of these cars also, if it's even possible. I'm not mini-tubbed but I'm going with some 28x10.50-15 on 15x10" wheels and my car is lowered. Hoping I don't need to raise the car to fit the tires/wheels.

The car in my sig is on a 28x10.5 ET drag. Stock springs with isolators removed. I don't think I could go much lower without a tub.

Mine will be narrowed 3"/side also, except I'm gonna try a 4.5" bs. How close is your tire to the outer fender lip with yours?

My car is decently low, we had stock springs, cut one full coil with no isolators and it was the perfect stance but with a 28x10.5 stiff it would have hit the fender lips when the tire grew and we didnt want to roll them, so we put the rear isolators back in and it still looks pretty good.

The silver car above seems to have an F body offset type rim on it but it also looks like the frontside of the 1/4 panel was trimmed out some, like when guys run 29"-30" tires. It looks pure evil though!

It is easier to "tuck" a 28/10.5 than a 325, 325 is more like a 10.5W tire.

What backspace are you running on yours? Also going to be using the stiff sidewall slicks here. I'm not too concerned about rolling a fender lip if needed.

We use a stock length 9inch with what i'm guessing is 7.5" backspace Bogarts.

here is a vid of the current stance, dont have any pics. this is stock springs with one coil cut and stock isolators.
