A sneak peek at what I'm working on fitting under the rear wheel wells. Some pretty serious street meat:



^New spoiler on there as well.^

28x12x15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman s/r. I've got them on and it wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be. I think ford had the idea that people were going to be running some big tires out back when they developed this car. The fenders are even rolled from the factory. I've got a memory stick full of pics from the install and I'll be posting them as soon as I have access to my computer and a little spare time. (Typing from my blackberry now.) The sportsmans are for the street and the drag radials you see in my sig pic are for the strip.

Google: "Race star industries"

The wheels in the sig picture are Race star's 15x3.75" fronts and 15x8" rears. They fit with no grinding, no spacers, no modification whatsoever. The fronts have a 1.5" backspace and the rears have a 5.5" back space. If you wan't to run 15x10"s (with a 7.5" backspace), then you will need to do a bit of modification.

I'm digging these quite a bit, I'm sure it makes for a good day at the strip too right?

I don't want the skinnies on the front man, just want to find a set of 15's with the correct offset

You got it right, Diabolical. That's beautiful. These pics also makes me laugh harder at the 20's now.

The ET Streets are great for the strip. The sportsmans would probably just go up in smoke at the line, but I haven't tried them.
