Who would have thought a 325 radial would look puny on any car? Those are Weld aluma-stars 15"x12" 6" back space. Thanks guys, it's great to get a little work done on it. The plan is to have the car a roller this season, the tranny is the next big purchase I need to make. Steve

It looks like a rim with one inch more inset would center the tire and wheel in the wheel tub, which would allow a lower ride hieght, like a canyon carver BTW, the fit is good, are you goig to coil over rear suspension or what type ?

I thought that too, I'd like to pull the wheel in a bit more. I'm going to put my 30x12.5 ET streets on the wheels and see how they look on the car. I'm going to put a ladder bar coil over in it and take advantage of those military ladder bar brackets.
Thanks Rob, when you come by you can see it first hand. Steve

The worst part is I haven't had a chance to work on the car since the last update in october. That hoist in my garage is handy for working my car but it makes the money to buy the bling for the car. The car spends most of it's in the trailer, waiting it's turn in the shop. Apparently the guys I got the D60 from are putting one of those big doller fab-9's like what 408strokerdart put in his car. These guys have lots of $$$ so they practically "gave" away the D60. Steve

These bodies just swallow tires. Espicially when you sit them down low. Pops car has a 29.5W on it and it looks puny under it too.

Fits good but there is a lot of overhang between the ladder bar mounts and the outer end of the housing. Puts a lot of strain on the tubes. If it was mine, I'd want to move the ladder bar mounts as far outboard as I could.
The car the D60 was in went 8.20's like that and it's still square. If anything the axle would get narrowed and thats only if I was to back half the car in the future. Steve
