I'd like to see some pics of your F bodies with 325/50-15 rear tires. I am looking to get some ET Street Radials in this size for my TA this spring. I want to see pics!

Your going to need spacers and longer studs but it should look bad ***.

You might also try the wheels an tires section for a better response, or if search is working you could try that.

Sorry for the blurry pics, these are all from my camera phone.

I thought I was going to need adjustable lca's or panhard rod, but it fit really well. We removed the bump stops, cut the outter fender lip and made it smooth(looks stock), and pounded in the the inner fender well. Stock 10 bolt rear end with 15x10 prostars with 7.5 BS.

Hey was there a compiled video of races with your car floating around for a while? If so, I think I had it! Your car seems very familiar, the little Formy that could? The 11.71 N/A Joe O baby cam also rings a couple bells. It's gotta be you. BTW, car looks good!

I had them on my car with 15x10 draglites (think it was 6.5" BS) and all I had to do was bolt them up and make a pass.

Did they stick out past the fender lip with the 6.5" backspacing?

Yep that was my old car, this is a new one. Your thinking of this video...

Sorry quality isn't good, it was made a long time ago, sized down, and all video shot with a digital camera, not camcorder.

Yep that's it. I always liked that car. Did you run those times on a 10 bolt? What gears?

Yep I ran on the 10 bolt and had 3.73 gears.

We took the inner in pretty good, but my buddy was clearanced for 315 nittos before and he didn't have to modify his inside anymore when he went to the 325's. If you want to lower it(like I plan on doing) then the outter is going to need to be pushed out slightly.

Yeah I got a more clear version I need to find and upload, that was made 2yrs ago when I could only upload a very small file so the quality had to be lower.
