They would most likely drone more if i put turn downs, I'd rather just keep them straight back and add long tips to go all the way back if i go on longer drives.
joelius called it "roots" style in his video... I was just explaining what that meant to flyingz... I call it true duals

I like how your head light areas are painted matching instead of the black.

I love the 15x12s. I plan on running a 15x11.5ish Bogart soon on my Formula. What backspacing are you running and how narrowed / side is your rear?

i consider "roots" style a traditional muscle car setup. And by that i mean duals that are symmetric, and have full mufflers beneath the rear seats or just ahead of the axle. nothing to do with turndowns or tailpipes really. it has a sound that is like nothing else, which is exactly why i did mine that way.

its kind of my own definition but i couldnt think of anything else to describe the general configuration.

I have some 315's on my 17X11's and just noticed that upon install once again that the rim and tire are rubbing up against the bumstops brackets. My bumb stops are removed because the rubber was seperating from the actual bracket and now I noticed that the actual nut plate area where the bumb stops mount is touching, although my rear suspension is just hanging fully in the air on some jack stands. Would putting it back on the ground eliminate my problem? I might take that chance of hitting the brackets if I launch hard or something possible, right? Would it be dumb to cut these off? I'm getting some 15X10 race stars here shortly and will be running 325/50R15's. So I would imagine that these tires will be rubbing as well. Should I just heat it up with a torch and then beat them in some or cut them off. Anyone else have this problem and if so what did you all do?

cut em off, although haven't touched mine, they need to be gone for the 325 tire to fit. the 275/60 would be plenty of tire for you man. the 325s are heavy as hell, and guys are going 7s on the 275s....

I love the stance of the big *** tires and the width., I want to go at least a 315, although that will raise the profile from a 325/50R15 to a 315/60R15. I think that they make the rear look like they have bubble looking tires on the rims with a taller profile! The 50 profile looks a little better to me although dont get me wrong I like the look of both! I dont know. I may just cut the bitches off! What springs did you end up getting wicked, Your stance looks pretty bad ***! The fender to tire gaps look pretty nice!

I'm sure my Fiance will appreciate that... Just cut the bump stops off and quit worrying about it.

Sorry to offend, my wife wants a boob job as well ecspecially after 2 kids. She is a damn good looking women for sure! I don't think I would post model pics up of my wife though for this whole forum to see, Most folks get other women to do that! Just looking for some answers though, anything would be great!
