325's then? I know some of the guys who were running the 325's switching to 315's??? I'm up in the air about running 295's or 315's, I've never tried a radial. I've heard the 315's are a tight fit?

315s are snug...especially if you lower the car (and tuck the tires)
325s aren't available in 30" tall thats why some go from 28" 325 to 30" 315.

I saw some of the cars at the LSx shootout and the tires looked REALLY close to the rockers! I have minitubs but I don't want to run into tires rubbing. I really want to try the DR's. Which tires have you run before?

295s fit nice widthwise (though you need to pen up the wheelwells a touch for 30" tires) 315s are close in every direction haha...

Little more progress this weekend...
Tyson (PAF) came over yesterday and helped me finish up welding the floorbars 100%. I painted them this morning and started reinstalling the passenger side floor.
Complete 25.3 cage
Finished driver side floorbars
Finished passenger side floorbars
Passenger floor panels tacked back in

I jumped back on the removable front end project again...
before I cut out alot of the metal, I want to reinforce it with a set of shock tower support bars. Bar attaches to the rollcage, to the frame and goes thru the shock towers. I've got the driverside one in.
Before welding:
Welded in

definately. the bar that goes between the frame rails follows right along the bumper to support it and also acts as a turbo support. I'll be adding some small supports for the top and bottom of the bumper as well.
