17x7 up front with 225/50 Yokohama S Drive tires. 17x11 out back with 325/45 M&H Drag Radials.












Few pics of the cage. Changed the interior from gray cloth to ebony leather.

That looks really good! What was done to fit the 325 in the back and what is your rear suspension setup (rearend, springs). That is one of the best tire and wheel setups that I have seen with the Street Lites!

Nice Car!

That car is coming along quite nice and the Street Lites are a big improvement.

The M&H 325 is actually pretty narrow for the 11" wheel. They are actually sucked in a little bit and tuck really good. There is plenty of room for them. I have a Moser 12 bolt with stock springs. One full coil is cut off and im using heater hose. Fenders are also rolled. I decided to do a little something different with the tire setup.

Thanks again guys for all of the compliments!

I think the 17x7s weigh about 17.5 lbs I believe and the 11s are like 20lbs.

I know this is an old thread but what is the back space on the rims? I saw the 17x11s were 7.75 but what was the 17x7?

Thanks
Jon
