25.5 cert. Those tires are 28 10.5W but there will be clearance for a 29.5.

Thanks!

More bars and more pics. I am really excited and happy with the progress KTS has made thus far! It really does look bad *** in person!








It is nice to see things comming together so well. Pictures really do not do the craftsmanship of this chassis justice!!

Damn they've sliced your car up something fierce to get that in there. It looks good though! I like the bar under the rear hump that the rear cage bars go down to. Dont see that very often. Good concept though.
