      Frank, I don't know if I will keep the top or not, it's growing on on me but still not sold.


      Thanks for the comments guys, hard choice to make because wheels and stance makes the car but I think I feel good on this combo. Now I need to order tires.

      So, I am trying to order tires and getting stuck.....

      Nitto NT05 *(What do people feel about these?) Street use mainly
      Front
      -275/30r19 = 25.51x10.71
      -275/35r19 = 26.65x10.79 / think this is too tall?
      Rear
      -275/35r20 = 27.56x10.75 - too skinny
      -275/40r20 = 28.62x10.79 - too skinny
      -315/35r20 = 28.62x12.40 / I think I can "make" this fit?

      OR

      Nitto NT555 *(What do people feel about these?) Street use mainly
      Front
      -275/30r19 = 25.51x10.71
      -275/35r19 = 26.65x10.79 / think this is too tall?
      Rear
      -275/30r20 = 26.61x10.71 - too skinny
      -275/35r20 = 27.60x10.91 - too skinny
      -285/30r20 = 26.93x11.02 / I think this is a great fit with the 275/30r19 front but I am feeling this is conservative and I need to try the 315/35r20


      Any other recommendations so I can order some tires and get them under the car so I can take my axle specs to start the axle build.

      Ditto!


      If you get rid of that top, I will personally hunt you down and put it back on. It looks way way way too cool to let go of it.

      275 on an 8"? thats a full inch under nittos minimum. the 315s are 10.5 min so that wont be an issue and guys run those all the time. that will be some serious bulge on the front though.

      id run the nt555 245 or 275 front with the nt555r 305 in the rear. that was my plan until i went 315's.

      275/30 vs 35 is a debate i had for a while. the 30 is a little short, but the 35 is a little tall. the 245/35 is just about perfect. i decided to go with the 275/35 and make the mods necessary to make it fit. a little more sidewall, but the suspension has to be lowered a little more which will push the tire even further up into the inner fender.

      we'll see how it all works.


      KILLER wheels by the way. i hope mine look as good!

      Have you looked at the BFG KDW's? I just got my Rushforth Rated X's - 18X8 and 19X10 and mounted the KDW's on them. Went with 245/40/18 front and 295/35/19 rear.
      They look sweet. My car is still in the build process but you get the idea. Sorry for teh crappy cell phone pics.


      Just got the Moser 4 link and my complete AirRide setup installed last week so it si finally a roller again!

      Here is what she looked like before... and will again but with many updates.
