lol^ Its a stock headed lt1, therefore its impossible to be a race car. Did you have to cut off the bump stops or BFG the wheel well with the 8" rim?

Ac You got a lane with me on and off the gun!!!! And i was i runing a 28x10.5x15 with my m6 and all i have to say is hammer and sawzall. cuz you are m6 we mph more so we get alot of tire growth and with your car being a m6 make sure you get a stiff side wall or you will be using the whole lane with a 3200lbs car. just a heads up.

I run a DOT bias ply tire to meet the LTXshootout rules.

Kline I hope with the 8" rims thats all Ill need to do. Did rolling the fender mess up you paint?

the paint on the lip its self cracked but nothing that you will see with the tires on, but if your not carefull you can put waves in the quarter panel.

Did you use a fender roller or just bend it to shape? I hate to ruin the factory paint.

kline454

iTrader: (1)

just bent it to shape. fender roller would work alot better.

Ill see if I can track one down or have a body shop do it then. Badhawk had them on his firehawk and just said he needed the BFH mod. I hope Im so lucky.

I got them on last night and there is at least 3/4" or more all around the tire and plenty of space behind the tires.
I tried 3 different spring combos also. I tried stock with heater hose(too high), Hotchkis 1" drop with heater hose mod(too low), and ended up with the 1" drop springs and put the insulators back in(just right).

That looks good! Is the rear narrowed?

ATVracr

iTrader: (5)

Ya....-3" on each side I think.

AChotrod

iTrader: (17)

Heres how they fit. I still need to center the rear a bit, but still not sure im happy with how far they stick out compaired to my 27x10.5s. Damn I wish they made a 28x10.5 DOT bias ply tire.

Radials are faster.

You need to lower that thing a little.

AChotrod

iTrader: (17)

Radials dont work on my car very well since its a M6. I can pull the rear insulators and drop it some more but was kinda worried about the fender lip hitting the tire. It takes about 50% of the pictured gap away. Fronts are strange DA coil overs so I can set them at what ever I want. Ground and trailer clearance also worries me dropping it so low.

What wheels in back ach, GWelds or Racestars or something?

AChotrod

iTrader: (17)

They are Racestars with GW center caps to match the front.

Could you get me a shot from the rear Mikie? I'm looking at running those tires on a 15x8.

I'm lowered pretty good and can get on and off the trailer just fine, but the trailer is a low pro trailer with a 2 ft dovetail.

Ill get ya some as soon as I can pull the car out for pics in the day. Too hard and close for anything in the garage.
