The rears dont balloon out as much as I thought they would on the 8in rim. Get that front up some and it will pretty mean!

Looks good. Did you have to use spacers also with griding of the calipers. Thanks Jimmy.

Looks good , not sure why the 325/15 tire does not looks as wide as a 325/17 tire would ... I like the way it looks with them on , hopefully get my draglights soon...
