275/40/17 on a 17x9 rim
if i run these i dont think i should have a problem. i was jsut wondering if i can go bigger with the rear tires and keep the fronts at like 255/40/17. or would that jsut screw things up.

My cars not running yet unfortunately.but tying your frame together makes a big overall improvement.And upper lowers help no question about that.

o lol..mine either..im still investing a little bit more before i take it out..not sure yet but it might sit the whole winter and wait until summer time..im still waiting on a few more paychecks to invest in headers, underdrive pullies, and those subframes and traction bars. other than that im pretty much set for now.

yeaa..i was thinkign about saving up money ot invest in a pair of rims and tires jsut for the strip. and nitrous as well and that will only be used for the strip. i was thinkign a 150 shot. im also looking into a 351w that i wanan get machined right here in my town. but thats the future..lol..and since my 302 top end is interchangeable ill msot likely used that on the 351w. but money is kinda hard to come across right now. well that kind of money..lol
