**Chris** · December 1st, 2007, 02:12 PM

My car does not have ground effects... it's a photochop...a good one too, very realistic.

It's a GT side skirt and rear bumper with a Saleen front...

Here is my car:

Yes... he is damn good... he also is very helpful with advice.

I became a much better photochopper just by him giving me pointers and critiques.

He is a good guy.

You might have a clearance issue with your outer quad shock though (maybe). Do you have aftermarket upper and lower control arms?

Right now my car is running 7.7's in the 1/8th mile @ 94 mph.

I haven't taken it to the 1/4 mile track but the best guess with those calculators is 11.9's to 12.2's.

Speedstang302 · December 2nd, 2007, 01:02 PM

i run 275/60/15s on my 15X8's....they fit fine, dont rub unless i hit jumps...

.....and im still running quads....

StangAddiction · December 2nd, 2007, 01:12 PM

the 15x10s and 17x10.5s are the wheels that have you looking at clearance with the quads..
