I'll use the 315's on the street for ***** and giggles... obviously I'm not going to drift with them, I'll run a 265/40/17 for the track.
Need a small spacer in the rear:
Here it is with the flare off:

Nice work! Should be lots of fun. I just got my LS1 miata on the road, and a friend of mine is almost finished with his LS1 FC. There is a lot more room there for future "upgrades". Make use of it! haha
Holy Smokes!

UPDATE:
Trans stuff is sorted out...
G-Force fucked me... I was quoted one price for a very specific trans, then was told it could not be built (this is after talking to the builder in detail and he said no problem) then the price doubled from what I was quoted. I'll never do business with them again, it was as if they did not wanna do the build and just threw a high number at me so I would go away... well I did... I went away and found a better deal with the exact ratios I need and met a really nice guy in the process.
Bought this one right out of Perry Tripp's ARCA car for $3000 less than G-Force wanted.
It's getting rebuilt with the gear ratios I want and should ship out in about a week.
It's a Tex Racing T-101 4 speed dogbox. Got a really good deal considering the closest quote I got to build it to my specs was $1000 more than what Perry asked for. He's a super cool guy and very talented driver, I told him what I was building and he laughed a bit and said it's going to be a fun car... cannot wait to get behind the wheel.
Going with a quicktime bellhousing:
RM-6036SFI Certified @ 6.1
RM-6036 - Chevy LS Bellhousing/Richmond Style Transmission
* Height = 6.290
* Trans. Bore Ø = 4.685
* Engine = Chevy LS-1, LS-2, LS-3, LS-6, LS-7, LS-9
* Trans. = Richmond, Saginaw, Muncie, Bert, Brinn, Chevy TKO 500-600
* Clutch Ø = 11"
* Flywheel = 168 tooth or 153 tooth
* Weight = 22#
* Stock Shifter fork & throwout bearing
* Passed ALL SFI testing
* Pivot ball, full engine plate and grade 8 bolts included

That will be a fun car. Are you only planning on doing drifting with the car? You should put some big brakes on it and take that sucker road racing.
Is this transmission considered a dog ring style trans? Meaning only clutch to put it into 1st and then the rest of the gears require clutchless upshifts?

Hey guys -have not really been over here in a while.
Yeah it's a dogring box -straight cut gears -clutchless upshifts. I plan on doing some road course action as well! Big brakes are not in the budget this season

So after a bit of research I decided to go with a quartermaster bellhousing and TOB:
ordered them today
FYI guys that are sick of GM's crappy TOB can go with the QM unit above.
Got mine for just under $200
