Rob,

What size and make tires on the rear? They fit the rims perfect.

I forget the size but they are Hoosier A6's... Nice thing is I avoid shipping charges because Tire Rack is just 20 miles out of town to my East on I80...

I may be able to space the front wheels out a bit. Maybe not. They do have to turn and not contact the fender flare... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Rears are 225-60-16, IIRC. I might have the aspect ratio wrong.

The front could probably use a 1/2" spacer. I have two 5mm spacers at the shop we can play with on Sat. If you want.

Pretty sure they are 50 or 55 aspect ratio. I definitely want to move the track out a bit if we can. Not so much that I contact inner fenders or outer fenders...

Anyone - and I mean ANYONE have any doubts who should install their fender flares on the West side of the country? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you go back a few pages you find the video of my car after the new powerplant. Prior to this motor, the car was a frisky 'momentum' car. I barely ever used the brakes except to set the suspension for a corner and I just kept my foot in it all the time. On good R rated rubber I was barely able to control the car and I will have to relearn everything about driving it. The GT flares and big tires will help a lot. In fact, it may go back to being a 'momentum' car...
I can't wait to take it to Thunderhill for a track-day!

I have 1" spacers in the front.


It looks like it could use about an inch doesn't it?

That's what I thought too... Until I put spacers on and drove it. It looked great! But... It changes the scrub radius quite a bit. The car did not handle as well and was much harder to steer. Make sure you drive it hard after you try the spacers. You will feel a dirrerence.

You are bubbling all over yourself Rob, and for good reason - she's turning into one amazing car. I think you should drive it to WCR. Freakin' trailer queen. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) j/k Congrats!

BTW, I think I have a pair of 3/4" spacers if you want to try them. Good ones, not the crappy type.

Here's mine. I'll pull this photo out later as not to dirty up your thread. I have 16" X8" fronts with 1" Spacers and 16" X9"s on the rear with like 1/4" spacers.
