Default 15x8 Prostars + 28" Hoosiers

Just got them in. Got them on to test fit and a quick drive around to make sure everything clears. I just need to get the skinnies for up front!! Should be alot better hooking at the track too. Here they are.....

Looks Good!

I've heard several people say that wittha 28" tire they had to adjust thier LCA's to center the wheel/tire in the fenderwell. Did you have any problems making them fit? How wide is the tire.

I don't think I'd want to run slicks and wheels with spacers. Spacer swill really increase the chance of a stud snapping. It happened to a friend of mine, its not pretty.

I have the ARPs on order. I will be going to the track on friday. Dont know if the ARPs will be in by then. If not, the we'll see how well it works. There's a bunch of us going so if something breaks I have a tow vehical. But, I think my stock 10bolt is gonna go first.

Just remember to retorque them after a couple of passes. I just put some 27" hoosiers on Prostars on mine and did a dyno tune. Checked the wheel torque before heading to the track last night and they were loose.
