Popular Hot Rodding said:
Filling almost all of those front wheels are Baer Racing drilled discs, and when teamed with the well-researched wheel and tire package, the rolling stock looks ready for Watkins Glen. It's a serious package complemented by the rear, where matching Torq-Thrusts (in 17x11-inch dimensions, with 315/35-17s) are also loaded with Baer discs. Flores de-arched a new pair of rear leaf springs to lose some altitude and make the car hunker down over the fat rubber.

when compared to the current trends in hot rodding, and in some peoples opinions, yes it sits too high and the tires stick out to far. If its your car and you like it, don't change it.

One good thing is its easy to check the rearend gear oil.

Im thinking Ill run around like this until I get sick of it and the go with the

17" or 18" rims and the lowered springs.
