No rolling or cutting, I did raise up the rear though. I might roll and pull the fenders out a bit but haven't found the time to play with it yet.

I know that 99% of the FD guys are running 26" tall tires, Im running the 28" to be cool I guess!

Just finished this today. 26x11.5 No rolling. Had to tweak the calipers and the toe-link mount on the hub.

It looks great. You should come up to Indy in July and help me pick on the pistons. http://www.indystreetcarshootout.com/

If the car actually performs we may. We're going to shake it down tomorrow and see what falls off.

I can try to remember to get one later. Car went home with the owner yesterday. We are going to try to hit the track again this week. The challenge is remembering the camera and then to remember to take the pictures!

We did hit the track last night. Car is running much better and we appear to be headed in the right direction FINALLY. Rear wheel/tire combo worked fantastically with good bite and no rub issues.
