Arrow 295 MT's On 15x8's....

Alright guys im loving these new MT's if they work like they have been i will stick with this tire!

I know there are alreadly a couple of picture threads but most people have 15x10's so this is for the 15x8 guys here you go.....

Also note my suspension is pretty much stock besides sfc's and panhard bar the car will also be lowered 1-1/2inches in the front and 1/2inch in the rear next week.......

Nice man!
Just curious though, why would you lower your car if you plan on running at the track?

Well i have 3 somewhat good reasons.....

1) I hate the car being the height of a 4x4.....

2) I hate the comments of people asking "what size lift is that".....

3) For some reason i love the raked look on f-body's.....

After thinking about it i might just lower the front first and see what it looks like after that then decide if i wanna lower the rear as well.....

Lowering cars doesnt allways hurt a car.. Tires, shocks (shock settings) have a big play in how a car transfers weight and hooks up. I also believe that a car that sits lower has less drag, now a 12 second car that is slammed..the drag there really isnt an issue, its 8 and 9 second cars..but anway..LOWER THAT BEAST and loving the Tires, I think thats going to be my new Street trim tire!

My car is lowered and to fit even a 26" tire would be a challenge. I gotta find a good median between street and strip stance.

Can't wait to see the lowered pics. I'm very curious to see what that tire size looks like tucked up in there!

Thanks for sharing!

Mines lowered some, much more and I'd have clearance issues I think.
