Nope, Joe Gibbs degreaser for the win! No streaking or harm to the paint! One of my best discoveries. Who said rubber just on the bumper, I used to get it on the roof panel and hood! Formula's have less lower flare on the rear bumper.
Then again most of my burnouts were like this.

I know, still nice to act like 17 when almost 50. I came 2nd in the show and shine, so I was not going to lose the burnout contest, got the win!!! Note to self though, burn outs do less tire damage on concrete. That was not on concrete.
My Hoosier seemed to like long burnouts at the track too, hence the rubber every where, but did result in 1.47 60s with an M6 on a RR suspension set up. Never even hinted at lifting the front wheels.

I love the look of this setup....
Just for reference this is how it's supposed to look.
My junk sitting on 15"x10" Weld RTS's with 5.5" backspacing wrapped in 295/55/15 M/T Drag Radials on a rear end narrowed 3" per side.

No Bushwacker fender flares required.

Sure did read the first post. It said about cars having wheels sticking out, never said just drag wheels. Thought u meant all wheels that's all. And no didn't post to show off v6 brakes just thought I had something what it sit like.

IMO, OP is probably that one dumbass at the office everyone avoids because he likes to force his opinions down peoples throats.
Really dude, I don't think people here give two ***** about how everyone elses tire tucks or sticks out. I think you might be the only idiot that does. The fact that you got on an internet forum to bitch about it makes it clear to me that you're a really ignorant person whom I wouldn't want to be near. People build their cars to suit them, not you.

The problem is 4th gens have no fender flares like mustangs do, or 3rd and 2nd gen f-bodies. So if you tuck wheels in they look dink toes like the tires are too far in. I think flush with the fenders is best with these cars and about an inch gap with rolled fenders. That's how these cars supposed to be imo they look silly tucked and slammed, esp from the back. Like everyone says its all preference, but don't try to force your preference on everyone else just because you think it doesn't look good.

Do you also suffer from Texas Tilt or do you not have a dog in this fight?
You missed the entire point of this thread. Most here get it. It was informative as well as a little bit entertaining. It had to do with narrowing the rear/axles and getting the proper offset wheels so that you dont have the text tilt (*** in the air like a skunk) after throwing a set of 28" drag tires in the back. This was never intended for you homos with stock type wheels on them.
You took it personal (maybe due to your affinity towards the Texas Tilt and other mullet like styles). I wont judge you.
