Is there no way to get a little bit deeper of a dish on these cars??? It looks good, but a rear dish on a wheel looks awesome.

So what tires are you guys running on the 8.5" & 10" rims?
man, if i could, i would like to run a MAX Summer tire like a BFG KD or KDWS(actually a ultra high performance tire) . Maybe a set of the rt-615'z or NITTOS...but the rears are gonna be big at 305mm....

You could get a larger dish but then you'll have more wheel sticking out pst the fenders. THey do have a set of fender flares that would help in getting a 10.5 all around, BUT...i havent really seen on applied that i truly like.

Just to let you know that the KDWs on these kinda look a lil to beefy for my taste.

beefy? How...

Do you mean to much sidewall? Or to wide? maybe both?

Its like coparing to a NITTO 555r-1 and a Goodyear D3-GS (or whatever it is!!) IF both tires are 275/35/18..for example. IT is guarranteed that the goodyeat will be always wider than the NITTO.

Im just talking about tires in general. The pilots sidewall doesn't look taller like the KDWs do.

When i put my 20's and the 275/35 Toyo T1'R's, it reduced wheel hop buy atlease 50%, i can launch so smooth at 3,000, I have made video's they will be up for viewing soon... I have no problems with racing off the line now compared to stock. I have the BMR wheel hop bar on order also, and i want the drive shaft!!!

Damn sexy man. Too bad you didn't have those on when I was down there. (Funny how I found this looking for pics of CCW's in general)

Fucken bad ***, fellows.

I was down in H-Town this weekend and only saw one other V. Stealth Grey, appeared stock. Damn nice color. Kinda made me smile. I mean, with all of the Bimmers and Benzs, only one V was spotted.

Just wished I had driven mine down, I woulda been more apt to find some trouble, but alas, I was relegated to drinking and eating. Such is life!

That's a quality GM built rear end, that's what that is.
