Default Holeshots!!!

finally finally got them on...what do joo guise think?

15x3.5's up front w/ 26x7.5 MT sportsman's

15x10.5 in the rear with 325/50/15 nitto 555R's

next tires will be 275 MT ET street radials the 325 nitto's just run so much narrower then MT's I'm running a tiny spacer in the rear as I didn't have enough time to hammer the **** out of the fender wells, nor roll the lips.

car is getting tuned either tom or wed by Jeremy Formato one of if not the best LSX tuners in the country. 42lb injectors being installed as well, getting ready for the giggle gas

lol and NEVAH I love these things.

and clearance...just like most of them it required grinding of the front and rears, the fronts aren't so bad, the rears on the other hand...just keep grinding was my moto, and you must grind the rear fins as well as the fronts. the rears will fit with no spacers but I'm running a small one now as I didn't have the time (or tools) to roll the fenders, and massage the fender wells.

I need to clean up the rear axles surface rust, and get new moser stickers hehe...then I'll probably take them off on the rear and leave the fronts on.

any way you keep it clean w/o the cap?
