Just a heads up!

I called Tire Rack & BF Goodrich to see if the 295/35R-18 Rival tire was still available and they said that they are discontinued until 2017 which sucks.

Good news is that the Rival S is available in a 315/30-18
Nitto also has a 305/35-18 in the NT01's but they are 100 treadwear which won't last as long.

BFG can suck it. They create rules that cater to them, then drop the ball on supplying rubber for MONTHS. All they do is supply Detroit Speed and Ridetech so they can take cool pictures of cars with their tires. Rant over.

My 295's are still good plenty of meat on them as I haven't driven my car at all this year.
The great thing is that the Ebody and I am guessing Bbody can swallow a big tire up front 295, 305 & 315 and there are plenty of tire choices that should be available

Pretty much stock with the Cuda fenders. You do have to fold up the lip though.
I maybe different with the Chally?

B-body runs out of real estate as quick as the Challenger does. 295 is as big as I've been able to go and without SUPER careful spacing, they'll run the inner fender and frame rail like a son-of-a-gun. My fender have a noticible "pooch" to them and if we go bigger I will have to do some metal work, which I really don't want to do to my car; as I don't want to disrupt the lines any further.

We need more pictures with this.

I'm trying to get a 275/40-18 on the front of my B-body with a spaced out 6.18 mustang wheel.

Yes the wheel spacing needs to be precise, custom offsets or the tire will not fit

The second picture above is a 17x9 5" BS. An off the shelf wheel. The one above that is a little bit more involved.

I'm going to end up with a 18x9 5.18" BS. Close enough for now.

You guys are lucky!

My 65 Belvedere had light rubbing on the inside and outside with 245/45-18 tires up front.

Ariel, what are your wheel sizes/ offsets? Are you still running the wheels in the Drive video?

Hello my wheels are 18x10.5's all around. I forget the exact offsets though?
Yes they are the same wheels in the Drive video

I'm impressed up I love the concept and philosophy of the project.

One small detail that I would do and would if my car irritate me severely, I'd have to close off/reshape the open ends of the front spoiler, I suspect with wide fronts your are losing a lot front spoiler effectiveness with this detail.


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Replacing front or rear tires with those? Although I guess a set would imply 4 tires while a pair would be 2....
