Hey everyone,
I kinda fell from grace about 5 years back. I used to be on stangnet everyday with my '65 mustang fastback. But I somehow got sucked into road racing and have been dominating in my Honda S2k.... I KNOW I KNOW
At any rate, I've gotten to the point with my S where I need to chit or get off the pot. I 'hot-rodded' the engine recently and am making 259rwhp/174rwtq on an N/A setup (a LOT for a 2.0L)...and I'm kicking 255front 295 rear hoosier R6 tires.... I never thought I'd say it, but this Honda MOVES on the race tracks... BUT, I can't help but feel that I want something new despite how much fun the honda is.....
My '65 fastback has a roller 302 (5.0) stroked to a 331, and welp, I'm getting the bug for another 5.0; albeit, the new 5.0
I've pushed the limits of tire width on my honda and will only switch over to the mustang if I know i can get enough tire to fit INSIDE the wheel wells of the new 5.0.
MY QUESTION is this: What's the maximum width of tire I can realistically fit under the 5.0 with rolled and slightly pulled fenders?? Before you answer, I sadly see WAY too many terminator cobras on the track with 315 rear tires that don't actually fit within the fender lips of the car; they look mexicanized... What WILL fit the 5.0??
PS: Custom offset CCW wheels is a viable option to get maximum tire under the car.
Thanks guys!
