Tires Sizes Front and Rear
Rim and Tire Make and Model
Axle Width (Stock or Narrowed)
Ride Height (Stock or Lowered (How, Which Components and other mods such as fender Rolling and BFH)

Thanks man! Yea they look badass. I liked them so much that I'm thinking about running a similar setup on the street with a drag radial. My ZR1s look so damn plain after seeing these on the car. Lol. 11.5in wide slicks look sick from the back too...
