When is the widebody kit coming? That wheel set-up will stick like superglue, nice!

Nit to pick: they are not "rims," they are "wheels" that you put "tires" on... just a nit that has been bugging me on this board.

What size tires are you going to run on those new wheels?? 315 ont the rears? Hoosies?? 285 on the front?? Dang nice...

you could easily run larger than a 315 on a 12.5 wheel. I don't know what benefit it would have after a certain point with these cars.

After all its not like we are making 600hp.

285-295 on 11 front, 335-345 on 12.5 rears.

my old 295's up rear would make phat tracks sideways when not up to temp at 3rd gear
