the pics arent spectacular - my bad on that lol
The caliper has a good half inch clearance (my index finger fit easily), theres a couple inches of space from all major parts on the back
Tires I have are 325/50/15's which are a little bigger than the old setup.. and you can see the marks i had.. so im gonna hammer the crap out of it.. big time!
To give u an idea:

So can you potential hurt your track slips running that size tire or what? I was going with the same exact setup as sojumatt and I already have everything beat in, bump stops grinded for clearance and painted for protection. I would personally think that it would be more meat to grab and go of course it's a bit more weight but can be as bad as some 17's with 315's on them correct? I get a vibe that most folks like to stick with the 275's for some reason. It looks **** with the fatties on the back! Very nice car sojumatt, how much of a drop all the way around and what brand! Cant wait to get my wheels in.

.. but really i mean ur gonna hook either way - they are kind of heavy. more weight = harder to move which means slower. but by how much? idk - i chose this setup because it looks great to me and will do the job!

I bet the 325s on 15x10s weighs in around 55lbs per wheel/tire in the rear. If you don't need that size tire I'd steer clear of running such a big tire.
That's why I went with the 15x8s and a 275/50.. if you're gaining weight and unncessary tire size with a drag wheel/tire setup, what's the point? I wanted to go faster not look faster. This is not directed towards sujomatt (it does look very nice), for all I know his setup needs that tire. That was just a very in general statement.

I'm just working on going as fast as I can with what I got right now. I need a 9" setup with a 4.10 gear, can't wait for this one to let go.
On the 27th I'll be running it for all it's got so that will probably be the expiration date of the 10 bolt.

I love the look and see people run tires that are almost a foot and a half wide on trucks and chevell's and the seem to be able to turn them. I think most folks do a little tirer for the weight purposes. I know my 17X9.5's with some 285's weighted in at roughly 48 lb's. I really cant see a 15 inch rim and 325 weighting in morethan that so if any one has weighted this combo then pipe in for sure vLike I said that **** looks bad ***. I like it better than the 60 series profile honestly

Any buddy ran these yet MT P295/55/15 ET Street Radial. Apparently these are fairly new but look pretty bad *** and should be a pretty good size for our applications. Here is a link that has a little video that tells a little about them. http://www.streetlegaltv.com/forum/m...ial-4419.html#
