Default 2"per side

Post up all the shots you have of your wheel and tire combos with rear end narrowed 2" per side. I'm getting the ss off life support soon and need wheels an tires. Also list tire brand size and wheel brand size and offset. Thanks only have a month to decide and want to see my options.

Actually 2.25'' each side. Rims are 17x12, 5'' backspacing with 315 MT Drag Radial. (some pics might be old setup with 17x11 with 5.5'' backspacing & 315 Nitto's).







Weld RTS, 5.5'' bs w/ 28'' QTPs





Keep in mind when deciding to do or not to do...... The wheels will have to be ordered, there are very few to choose from that will be affordable. I believe the TT2's are the cheapest street wheel and the Welds would be the cheapest drag wheel I think. Hope that helps!

Don't have any problems hooking with either tire now that the suspension is doing it's job

An even less expensive option would be TTIIs or TTMs on the front and (assuming your rear is narrowed 2in each side) mustang deep dish bullitts on the rear w/ a 1in adapter...

How much room do you have behind the wheel/tire? Could u fit a wider tire?do yo have any pics of it from behind it looking up at the back of the tire? I am trying to figure what will be the biggest I can squeeze in wih rolled fenders and a realy bfh. I have adjustable lower control arms and pan hard bar as well as 3 way adjustable torque arm . I should be able to get as good as can be done. With the procharger and the nitrous plus the trans brake I want as much back there as possible and I like the look of the tt2 and the rts but at this point I'm open to a lot just want all the options avail to help me pick. I dont want it outside the wheel lip at the top though. Thanks

I didn't like the idea of BFH so i went with a different backspacing to fit the 12'' wide wheel.

Here is how they sit



This is how much room there is with the 28'' QTP 10'' wide wheel with 5.5 Bs

How do you like this setup? I just got an incredible deal on the S60 narrowed 3 per side, and torn between the 295-55 or the 27 QTPs. I also have the Sportsman 8 plys on the front currently, and 27X10.5 ETs which are on an 8 but want to go wider. Does it hook well? Will post up pics love the look of yours.

Only at times when taking corners to fast on the slicks. The 315's and TT2's are my street setup and the 28'' QTP's are my track setup. I Plan to run another 15'' rim and 295/55/15 MT DR on the street once I figure out my new setup this year.

the 295 55's are 28" tall and the only time I notice a problem is when I jack it up they basically rest against the edge of the rocker panel other than that I rolled the fender lip and haven't had a problem since
