ok ill try a 9 first and see how that works, how do you roll the lip on the inside of the fender?

Yeah how do you roll the lip? I always hear people talking bout it but never really knew what it was. Does it just smoothes it out so there isnt all the ridges and **** in there?

i got pilars and a hammer and rolled mine. use pilars to bend it up some and then smack it with a hammer so its against the wheel well

yea i rolled mine and actually found out my car had been hit before. bondo started cracking in the quarter panel. i never really noticed that the flare actually stuck out aslight more than the other side. anyways it prevented my tires from rubbing anymore. ive got 17 inch by 9 cobra r's with 245/45

I think you could get some faster times with a 26x8 on the stock rim.
I saw a guy at the track with some 28x10.5" on the stock rim, it had big scrapes and gouges in the sidewall of the tire, and it stuck out like 3 inches past the rim.

I only used street tires though, but I was faster with worn out 225/60/15, than my new tires which are 235/60/15.

I have M/T ET STREETS 26X10.5X15 and they clear the quad shock. My car is also lowered

I don't roll and lips on street car..kills any value.....I made a thing like what nascar is using.. by using it and the tire

im not worried about value. becasue one day its not going to be a street car it will be my race car.

tim, sorry for the bad post...i meant et STREET radials.....

anyway i just use stock ponies on them, and w/ a 26" tire no need to roll the fender

8 or 9" tire is fine for a full slick, but cheaters your gonna want the 10 1/2" ers
you still get about a full 9"+ contact of course if you use a nicer rim than stock you'll get more
