If you are what mods did you do and what size tires are you running?

I was thinking in putting 325/50R15 BFG Drag Radials on 15x10.5 Centerline Auto Drags on the rear.. However - I might go with 17" rims instead...

10" American Racing , "Hurricane" type all around for those old enough to remember.
295/50 rears , 255/50 fronts , body kit covers the tyres no problem.
Will go for 315's on the rear next change.

I know you got the offset trailing arms, which say they're good upto a 10" wheel... you have any other mods done, like fender flares? I'm thinking 325's would stick out a lot

I have flares that are 1 inch wider than stock... The 325's shouldn't stick out...

I am really considering notching my frame and A-arms a bit so I can run some fatties without the flares. Learning to TIG weld was probably a bad idea!!!

I have the offset trailing arms....and though they claim 10" will fit under there........They cleared the trailing arms just fine....however the tire edges touch the frame on launch....so offset trailing arms do nothing for tire width if they are going to hit the frame.....Pizzes me off......now I have a brand new set of 10" MT ET Streets....sitting in the storage room gathering dust. I'm running 8" MT ET Streets and they hook very well......ran 11's fully inflated to 35 psi.... :eek: :seeya Cappy

28 X 12.5-15 Tread width 9.9
Rims were Corvette Rallye 8" wide Rims...I thought about notching the frame where it touched.....Then bought 8" tread width and they fit perfect.... :seeya Cappy
