Your fatties in the rear are making me feel a bit insecure with my 275/40/17 I might need to upgrade one of these days.

Picked up these summit stars off of a forum member a week ago. Had to run a spacer in the front and only had to grind the rears down a tad to get them to fit.

Thats the same thing i wanna do on mine...i also have the rear narrowed 3" per side with 15x10 on a 4.5 BS ...how much modding you had to do to fit them, and how do you like those big 325?, i read they are a bit heavy with a bigger rotational mass

I had to roll the outer fender lips, BFH the bejesus out of the inner fenders, adjustable panhard & LCA's. They still rub a little bit if I make a sharp turn, because I have a spool and poly suspension bushings that deflect as the axle tries to twist. The 325's are my "street" tires and I run a 28x12.50 bias ply at the track.
