Re: project (sweet pea)
mike i think? i will have to double check....But i think they are 315/40/17....They are pretty wide.. about 13 inches...The rims are 17/12 in the rear..and 17/10 in the front.....I am looking to go taller in the rear....But i don't have any room to go wider....Any suggestions.....?

Re: project (sweet pea)
Tony...you sure of that size. If you could verify it maybe there's a manufacturer that makes a 315 with a taller sidewall. Let me know if it's indeed 315/40/17

Re: project (sweet pea)
As promised....
Got the headers put on tonight....Tight fit....But I got them in there....Sorry the frame is so dirty.....I am dying to get everything all cleaned and waxed....... I have about an 1/8th inch of clearance here...I am thinking I need to modify the passenger side engine frame mount....I am sure it will hit....I am not one to baby this thing....So I imagine that with some high revs it will hit......

Re: project (sweet pea)
I think this is where I will be mounting the tank....It will make it way easier to fill from here other than mounting it in the front... Last edited by bad6772; 02-25-2009 at 10:57 PM. |

Re: project (sweet pea)
nuke1 i will go out after work and get the measurements for you....For my purpose it was the only choice..as it will see the track a few times a year....I have used this style tank before its a great street/ strip unit and the price is hard to beat...
