I did pick up a set of wheels with 6" bs to keep them tucked but the car is still in the chassis shop.

Very briefly, could you tell me what has to be done to tuck the tires in and slam it like yours.
I'm wanting to do this in the near future. I have a MWC Fab 9, narrow 3" per side with
10" rims with 4.5" bs now.
Track car only, not scared to cut it up.
Thanks

Looks great man! Glad you stuck with your plan. The car definitely appears to sit 'right'.

You would need wheels with more backspacing (5"-5.5"). No need to cut up your car. Ford 9" narrowed 3" per side with 295/55/15 M/T Drag Radials on 15"x10" Weld RTS's with 5.5" of backspacing. The car has been lowered by cutting the stock rear springs. No mini tubs, no rolled fenders and no rubbing.

Bump stops removed and minor "massaging" of the inner fender with a hammer. I do have offset lca's but they aren't needed. Here are the only pics. I have at the moment from under the car.





Here is a friend's car with stock offset lca's with 325 drag radials (9" narrowed 3" per side with 15"x10" Weld Prostars w/5.5" backspacing).

If somebody is looking to do this, I have a set of 31 spline Moser axles with bearings & long 1/2" studs, along with a 31 spline "3 series" Eaton posi from when I had 2" off each side. PM me if interested. Also a pair of 12" X 5.5" bs Bogart wheels from the same set up. Tucked 10.5" tires just fine.
