I run an 11" wheel on my '02 and is the same wheel well, but of course, SRA.

My back-space is 6~7/8", so you are right on the money there. Are we talkin' and 18" wheel here?

Jazzer... says things that make you go mmmmmm?

Put dem puppy's on you ride and see how they fit

... what the hell I'm talkin' 'bout, that pic is 12 hours old. You have probably been ripping all over town on them.

How do they fit?

You will have a bit of a rubbing issue with the IRS bolt out back.

You may want to pick up some of ***THESE*** and put them on your ride:


This bolt will rub on a 17" wheel, but belive it clears an 18" wheel. Head over to the SVT section and do a search for IRS bolt issues.
