To GULSTRAND OR NOT TO GULSTRAND??

Verify with a tech (not the one you talked to before), but I think the GW arms will work with the G-MOD without grinding mounts.

Personally, I don't care for the fit of my 275s on a 9.5" on my '68. I noticed witness marks that I'm getting contact on the inside of the wheel well and yet the outside is already into the lip at least a 1/4". I haven't had a chance yet to see if the marks were there before I redid the suspension and put the new rims/tires on it. In static position I have some clearance. I'd be surprised though if the old 14s with a worn suspension were that close to rub. My quarters are original and bondo-free so I can't get myself to roll the lips. Luckily my rear suspension sits a little high for now, and is very stiff so it probably won't actually ever hit. If I go to disc brakes supposedly it will push it farther out still. Somehow there are lots of people getting away with it though. Maybe they roll the lips or a little rubbing doesn't bother them? A 265 might be a better choice, but do search there are very few choices for hp tires in that size either for 17s or 18s. I think a 255 at least on my car would have been a better choice.

Right On Mike thanks for the advice. I think I will be a little bit more conservative on my tires to be safe. I don't want to ruin my freshly painted fender wells or tires.

Thanks,

SteveM
