I actually like the way the fronts look to the rear.

1 thing I think you should fix on your car is the clamps for your tips. I'm not trying to be a dick, but it would look alot better with some flat band clamps turned so you couldn't see the hardware.

But I love that car and those tires are big. I found some ZR1s with a 36mm offset so hopefully sometime I can have the funds to order the wheels and tires

Yeah, I have to order the band clamps. You can't see the clamps unless you look under the car.

Ya I wasn't dissing on your car, but its just something I noticed. But I guess you wouldn't really notice it in person

Took the car to the track again and I can launch out the hole at 4000 rpms and they won't spin at all. I launched at 3000 rpms and I got a small chirp from them. I'm very pleased with them just not pleased that they still rub in hard corners

FSTR/TA, those look great! Did you have the ZR1's Widened?
That I did. Got a friend that did it and they are now 13". The Viper as well as Lamborghini and Ferrari, and Porshe ( Gemballa) Use this tire and it is on a 17x13 wheel with 335s. The tire should be within an inch or two of the wheels width.

Actually in my case they don't hook for ****. They handle like no other and I guess that's what they were born for. If you have ever seen a Lambo, Ferrari or other exotic sports car with meat like these, launch from a stand , you'll see them fishtail all over the place. That's pretty much what they do. I love the appearance and handling aspects. I have fat& skinnies for the straight line.
P.S. they do stick out past the quarter about an inch. I don't mind and get plenty compliments on the other 12" tucked under.
