what size wheels/tires are those? I'm considering the same setup for my GTO, but want charcoal centers.

19x8.5 and 19x9.5
245/35 and 275/30
general uhp (they were cheap)
with the drag bags i think i could have went with a wider tire on the rear have plenty of room towards the shock.

the drag bags keep the rear elevated keeping the fenders from droping on the tire. if the tire sticks out further than the fender.

its setting so high because my drag bags are inflated to 20 psi. I did that incase there was any problem with those tires rubbing.

so far the ride has been better than expected
