Default Installed: Weld R/Ts on my Maple Red Metallic TA

Got my 325/50/15 ETs on the rear and the 15 x 4 runners on the front. Used an air hammer on the rear wheel wells. That thing was sweet as F*CK!!! Made short work on the wheels to give me the clearance I needed. I'm diggin' them.

Not really too much. The air hammer made SHORT work of the wheel well. Maybe knocked it in like 1/4 to 1/3 of an inch. I did not roll the fender lip at all. Used a dead blow hammer on the harder metal near the subframe, but didn't use too much force and knocked it back only a little.

Looks awesome! I think your 10-bolt is going to be hurting though!

Yeah, I won't be doing any 4K+ clutch dumps or anything, (or any clutch dump for that matter), so I should be okay. I don't think a hard 1-2 shift will do much when they are cold. Still saving up for the MWC 9" though.

prepare to invest in a 12 bolt or 9" it looks like you still have the 10 bolt..........

Looks sweet!

Just to be curious, where did you buy them from? I have a pair of the R/T rears and would like to get the matching fronts, but $450 each from Weld seems steep!

I have the same thing on my LT1 to offset the z28 badge on the back. A friend gave it to me after he shaved his GTO. That badge new from Pontiac is a little over $60 i believe!

I love the stance of the car. What do you have to do in order to get a "collector" plate?
