No problems in front with that 35mm backspacing? Also, they make the rears in 45mm? I could only find 43mm backspacing for the rear.

did you have to roll or trim the rear fenders to get the wheels to fit?

Killer job on a super clean install! Very nicely put together judging by the pics.
Since you're keeping it a DD do you forsee any issues with the IRS with adding miles with that kind of power upgrade? Did APS suggest anything in addition to thier kit as far as supporting mods along the lines of drivetrain strengthening? Curious since I plan on FI with my future GTO, the APS TT is an option for me.
That color is awesome btw. I'm currently shopping for an '06 BOM, I love that color!

Oct03GTO, that sounds like a cool build up! It is obvious our goals for these cars are much different

How is traction Tony? GTOs like to spin them with stock power as I'm sure you know. Is it blowing the tires off or are they doing a halfway decent job of holding through the gears? What tires are you running again?
