What size tires are those? What size wheel? 10"? Looks tough!

That's about what my 28x13.5x15" ET Streets on 15x10's looked.

I'm willing to bet he'll be out. I'm sure the club is gonna have something going on for the cruise <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I just hope my beast is running again by then <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

BTW, how much BFH did you need tom? Might need some of your expert work to get my 29" Hoosiers in there for a little bit of this <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />

Am I the only one that can see the control arm through the wheel well? Looks like some BFH work or cutting involved...

The tires are:

28.0/10.5-15W

and the wheels are:

15x10 5x4.75 6.5

I have the rearend cut down 1 3/4 per side. There was some "re-work" required to clear the inner fender wells but no mini tubs required. Once it is lowered I should have a pretty agressive looking stance and some consistant 1.4 60ft comming my way!
