I'd like to go with wider tires than stock if I can. Any suggestions on tire size and what size rims to get. I'm not sure about the backspacing and all that. Maybe a good place to buy them too. Thanks again... Learnin' the hard way...

That is about as big as you can comfortably go. Springs need to be good. I race on the stock we'd formula s wheels 6.5 inch wide I think and f70-14 redlines. They look small. 8422706-image.jpg (117 downloads) best of 11.24 at 119 mph 1.60 60’. 68 340 S Barracuda Fastback F.A.S.T [IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/2mnnnnt.jpg[/IMG]
