275/60's, being a 28 inch tire, would probably be a good choice if you want to run a radial tire.
My outer fender lips are also rolled. With the stock 10-bolt rear I only needed a very thin spacer (they were custom made by a buddy on his CNC laser so I don't remember the exact thickness). But anyway, it was not needed when the car was at rest but with the sway/sidewall movement of my Quick Time Pros, I would get a little rubbing on the leaf springs around corners. My guess is a radial tire would not have this problem, or if so, to a lesser extent.
Once I installed my 9-inch, I had to run a much thicker 3/8th spacer. Apparently a "stock width" rear is not quite "stock width". No big deal but if/when I buy new wheels, I may check on the availability of a 5inch backspace wheel to eliminate the spacer.

That's funny.......I've been thinking about ditching the Pro Stars some day and getting the Billet Specialties Street Lites. Pro Stars are a good budget wheel but I'm kinda getting tired of the three piece design.

Hi Cesar,
You said you switched to a cartridge style MAF. Did you also change the other intake parts?
Would love to see your pictures and measurements when you have time.
thank you,
Doug

Do you still have the adapter to the stock MAF that you removed? I'd be interesting buying it and the MAF, if you have no need for it? I'd just keep the MAF as a spare for my L92.
Thank you!

Will do. Went to mount them on sat. Didn't know I needed fancy lug nuts so now waiting on them. They are due in on Wednesday.
That coupler came with the cold air intake. Yep, you're correct;4 inch tubing.
I do. Shoot me a PM and we can def work something out.
Awesome - did you know where the throttle body to tube coupler comes from? Have a part #? Do you know the OD of the aluminum tubing? Is it 4" I assume?
