What size are those tires? They don't look like 40's. You need to drop that boy now and get the ride height just perfect. Looks good!
17X11's out back right?

You know it's weird but 315's just don't look as wide as they use to. I guess I can see why Johnny wants 335's out back instead.

I know what you mean! I thought they would stick out too far but they fit real nice. The only problem I have seen so far is a possibilty for rubbing in the rear when going up a steep driveway. As long as its going straight in its fine but not at an angle. I found that out at the place where I took the photos yesterday.

Dude those look sweet! There is a hell of alot of tire on the ground for the 345hp's. Maybe it will stick a little better, maybe.

I think they look pretty freakin' wide. I like how they're even with the fender wells! Very nice indeed.
Now you just need to drop her an inch!

EDIT:
Actually, I think the fronts are the same as the stock ones were 275s not 285s. I will look when I go out later today and let you know if they are any different

I got a set of INTRAX springs for sale. They will put it right where it needs to be.

INTRAX lower by about 2 to 2.5 inches don't they? That may be a bit too far. I want to drop about an inch and hope to hell they don't rub!

1 3/4 drop but they are progressive a bit stiffer so they do not bottom out. I had the Eibich with the 335 tire 275 up front and it scraped more than the Intrax.

I've got 285's on my 11's and they are the exact same width as a 315 tire. My sidewall is a little less than 315's though. Those springs shouldn't be a problem either. I've got a 2 inch drop and she only rubs when pushed very hard. One of the main reasons I went w/ 285's was cost and rubbing. I had the inner fender lip cut just in case though. Being progressive they'll work better when pushed to their limit. Can't wait to see your car in person this yr.
