finally got my rims on!!!
I've had my rims in my closet for almost two months, i didn't exactly have 500 bucks to go buy two tires... but i finally got the money and went and got them... they are 17x9.5 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear... i went with a 315/30/18... its a bfg drag radial.... really good looking tire... i tried to use 1/4 inch spacers and messed up two of the stud and broke one off... so i finally got some new studs and put them in, then i took the spacers off and it was hitting the trailing arm.... so i took those off and had my uncle weld me a strip in the middle to make them boxed, then i cut the rolled part of them off it fit perfect with a lot of room where it was hitting... i did have to use the BFH alot and when i say alot i mean we almost knocked the car off the jack stands... so i finally got it down on the ground and it still rubs a little when i take turns hard, i guess i just need a bigger hammer.... i'm going to beat it up some more just didn't have to had to go...... I do have the pro kit so it was a little harder... i didn't roll the fenders cause it seemed to have a lot of room, i didn't really want to mess with the body to much just in case i would regret it in the future...so here are the pics sorry there aren't that good i'm not the best camera man....

If you don't already have one, get a double rod ended adjustable panhard bar from UMI. Will definitlely help with the rubbing. I think they are around $100. Don't waste your time with the poly, you might as well leave the rubber there.
Car looks great by the way, those tires are nasty looking...
