Finally, flush with the body - Pics

I finally was able to get the rear tire setup to set basically flush with the body line of the car using a 315/30/18 BFG drag radial. Tried a few different ride heights to see if I could gain any clearance to move the rim closer in on the body. Ended up with a great compromise, car still has an aggresive stance, suspension has alot more travel now and body lines are almost spot on. Now when you launch on it hard you can feel the azz sink to make the BFG work

Sorry, pics are a little dark (camera phone)

I will try to take some pics from farther away. Here is another pic from further up the front of the car. You can see how nicely the wheel tucks into the body line.

Was there a lot of beating of the inner fenders to get that stance? What kind of PBar are you using? Need a rear shoot

I fit my same tires like that without much hammering at all. I also shaved my inner fender to make sure I didnt hit but I am lowered 2" so it was pretty close

x5 on the real. I like the last pic the best because it is the ONLY one where you can see the actual size/width of the tire in correlation to the car, otherwise, it just looks like a 275 from the rest of the shots.

ohh and I dig the wheel choice, looks good.
