2000 -- QA1's all four corners. QA1 drag springs in front; cut stock 98 SS springs in back. We had to jack the rear-end up about 1" to make sure the tires cleared the rear fender wells. The car should be track bound for the 1st time this year this weekend.

Best 60' and 1/4 todate are in my signature. We'll see what this summer brings -- still totally untouched stock bottom end I guess we'll see if it will hold a 250 shot this summer.

I'm smelling a new record, or scattered bottom-end.

Any bets on either

Okay, back to it.....

Has anyone tried to fit the 28 inch tall e.t radial on standard bogart f body sized rims (15 x 9.75, or whatever they are) and if so, did you have any problems with the tires hitting? Being a radial.... they shouldnt' grow like a bias ply slick... must be someone that has run those by now.

i ran the 325/50/15 BFG DR on a standard 15x10 7.5"bs pro star and just had to beat the hell out of the inner fenders. fit fine with no rubbing even in the corners, but then again with skinnies you aren't exactly cornering fast.
