I just want to say thanks to this site for all the help. I would've been there a little bit longer if i hadn't read some how-to's 1st.

The fronts went on with some grinding and cutting to the caliper. I'm not using spacers at all.

The rears went on without any hassle. I should note that i already have my quad shocks off so that helped a little i'm sure.

Here's a couple pics i took after i finished a little while ago. What do you think??

BTW....the wheels are Bogart Drag-on-star 15x3.5 w/Goodyear 26" frontrunners and the rears are 15x10 w/ 6 1/2" BS and BFG DR's 275 50 15. They are super super light! I'm going to the track on Friday to try them out and see how she runs.

I saw your pics....looks good. Now you just need the rears and it'll look even sexier Yeah i wasn't looking forward to it at all either. I actually started it and then stopped....came in and looked on here real quick to see if there were any tricks. I found some really helpful info that saved me alot of time.

Thanks for the kind words guys I took it for a drive tonight and WOW! what a difference from my 18" RH's. The car handles sooooo much better in a straight line. Curves on the other hand are a totally different story. I put them on for cruising and track events every now and then anyway so it doesn't really matter to me.
