RE: Tire Size Help

72MACH thanks for actually showing me a pic i think that tire size looks awesome on there. nice stang. and your tire size shows a huge difference form my 245's finally my question is answered. im going with 275's...i am at a point right now where i dont know if i should get gears or tires first because with tires i can at least buy those one at a time and the gears are more pricey so im thinking the gears since im not good at saving money and i can buy the tires one at a time. plus ill probly burn the tires off when i get my gears so i should get the gears and burn the old ones off right?

You can get the tuner/gearset/install bearings from www.rpmoutlet.com for $449. I got the 4.10's and the Predator. I have new wheels coming, Bullitts, 17"x9" front for 275/40's and 17"x10.5" for 315/35's for the rear. Those will fill the rear wells nicely. All the same height and profile heights.
Thanks for the formulas TX02GT. Mark

I've spoken to Chris, they have a few guys taking orders, quick shipment. Be sure the master Kit has the carrier bearing shims also and it sounds like it does for $29. as that is what I paid locally for the pinion and carrier shims. Mark
