None at all. I think they are on a set of 8" wide wheels and have a 5.5 back spacing.

Yeah it's the same car, just before and after paint.

as far as power, driveability, etc etc.

i plan on writing up something like that.

good to know! i was pretty worryed about it.

im unsure of the size of my current rim;s, they are weld draglite 15", but they could be 9-10" wide for all i know, and i havent checked the backspacing.

thanks for the pictures, your car looks really good, and the rears look much fatter then mine.

lol, sounds accurate!

i dident know ANYTHING about 5.0s when i bought mine.

i wanted a hardtop, but this thing had $8k+ in mod's and such and felt like it was a "deal"
i drove it back to back with a 99% stock vert GT with a 5speed, and my car felt MUCH MUCH faster.


if i knew this automatic was going to cause me issues, the top was going to loft up and let air in as low as 75mph, and the track rules with verts...... i prob would have walked, mods and all.

the 5 speed will get you more hp at the wheels. And its more fun to drive! as for the tire/gear thing, ever seen a cobra with 4.10s? I doubt it will hurt you at the track. but you never know.
