Re: "the graduate"

Hey Johnny - I'm researching for a wheel and tire purchase for my Mild DM. I didn't see it listed in the thread, did you use the same tire size and BS combo on this as you did 'Stocker to Rocker'? If not what did you go with?

Also, did you use the narrowed A-arms? What kind of clearance do you have with the fronts?

Thanks!

Re: "the graduate"

Are those rear panels made by Porterbuilt? If so, what is the level of trimming and fitting required to get them installed?
