Well, it's been a long wait, as I have been working with my wheels guy to make the custom wheels I wanted for Project Thundersnake. I got them last week, ordered up the needed tires, and now they are on the car. Since I set the rear rims up to my own specs, I was able to get a Hooiser QTP 11.5 x 26 on the rear, with just rolling the lip and knocking in that hump on the inner fender wall. There is literally a 1/4" on each side left, but I was able to get a true 10" footprint tire on the car. The rims I had done, were to simulate the original aluminum slot wheels, but in 15" and with a new style billet flavor. I love the way they came out. Anyway, enough rambling, on to the pics!!

I like your wheel combo!! The Hoosier I got (drag dot) are awsome!!!!I should have baught them long time ago..... Smoke is cool for show but wining the race is feels much better!!!!

The handling with my front runners isn`t the greatest on the highway but city driving is where you forget real fast the down side of bias ply tires

Why thank ya dear . Oh wait, you mean the car .

Thanks for the compliments guys. I am really happy with how the wheels turned out, it was a long process of trial and error.

BadII, I'll measure the backspace when I pull them off to roll the fenders.
