Couple questions,

1. Do the tires on the front look to big? they are 4.5" Moroso's on 3.5" rim, sometimes i think they look to big, sometimes they look perfect to me.

2. I'm running a 5/16 spacer on all 4 tires, does this pose ANY type of hazard? anyone have bad luck with spacers causing a failure of some sort, or am i in the clear?

The fronts look like 28" tires...but they look fine. Lots of people on here run spacers with no problems at all. I would say your in the clear with them. Are you running longer wheel studs with the Prostars??

Hmm. I thought anything over a 3/16 spacer needed longer studs (for safety). << Is that correct?

Looks badass btw

I think the fronts look fine. I like how they feel the wheel well up from the side shots! Good looking car.

Any wheel which has a very thick center (i.e. prostar/draglite) will require longer studs with or without spacers. For safety, lugs are intended to hold the wheel on by the hex portion of the lug NOT the shank. You need the diameter of the shank protruding into the hex portion of the lug per mininum safety requirments. For example, if you have 12mm studs, you need 12mm into the hex portion of the lug.

Agreed..if you havent gotten a set of longer studs I would get some ASAP. ARP makes longer 12mm studs that press in just like the stockers. Cheap insurance IMO dont want the lugs sheering off and get passed by your wheel lol.

Are those the Moroso DS2s or the Drag Specials? I had the Drag Specials in a 26x5.5 on my 3.5" Draglites and they fit fine. However, you shouldn't be running Moroso skinnies on the street, especially the 2-ply Drag Specials. They can't handle lateral loads (cornering).
GET LONGER STUDS from ARP. Stock studs + spacer = disaster. I run 2.5" ARP studs and a 5/16" spacer on the front. I'd kinda like to go without a spacer but I don't want to compromise the structural integrity of the calipers that do 70% of the braking. I would never put a spaer on the back, even with longer studs.

I would change the front bro! Stay out of BLOWES parking lot. That doesnt help either. That place sucks!

they are 28"s in the front, and its still on the stock rear and stock studs, but that will change here in a couple weeks, never planned on "using" these tires on this rear end.

i think they are DS2's, and i have been driving very carefully on them and know they cant handle the turns, i just FINALLY got the right rear tires and got the calipers finished and wanted to street them for a bit to make sure there wasnt any issues.
