I'm pretty sure John Bzdel has 9.5 wide fronts on his LS7 powered 87 SS.

Just checked http://www.ls7montess.com/ and found he has 8.5" wide fronts with 275 width tires. I have that width tires on the back on a 9.5" wide wheel.

I have 9.5 out fron and 10.5 in the rear....the front rub a lil bit b/c I have the front lowered alot. I am currently making new inner fenders. I could probably just raise up the inner fenders too but I want to make my own.

I have one. Since you are in VA you can't be to far away. Come up to my shop and let's do this!!!

4:15 hour drive. In the Monte might be a little far. LOL Sic, Have you done yours?

Marc @ SC&C did mine back in 2006. I am confident enough now with welding and all that I know I can do it.

[Samckitt]

I'm pretty sure I can do it too. Just finding time to do it.

What size rear tires you running now?
