I just think without doing a proper/complete back half the rear frame structure would be significantly less stabile than had i not notched/cut into it. Support crossmember are going to be added regardless- just dont know how much stability i will retain.

I just dont want to get into messing with notching the frame if i do not have to. Hell i may never do it, or i may do it this year while things are going together should i find myself in postion to do so and NEED to do so. The consensus seems to be 15x8 with proper backspacing and with a bfh, a...

... Or just the 275/50r15. Smidge wider section width than the 60, but less sidewall and 2 inches shorter in comparison.. If sidewall is what creates the clearance issues- how about the shorter of the 275 options? I really dont want to start notching into the frame at this time yet- if ever...

Anyone ever tried to fit a hoosier qtp 26x11.5? Should be the same as a true 26x10.5 slick or 275/50r15 drag radial would be but in a bias ply tire..

Do the 15x8's clear a 275/60 on a body fairly easily? Like i said ill do it if i have to.. But its nice to have as much of a contact patch as possible, especially when there is no track prep, and you're limited to a 275 or 28x10.5.. Unfortunately i dont like back half cars and prefer to ride...

If you're making substantial power on small tires then yes

Do you know what that back space is on the Cobra 15x10s?

Like i said. I loved the 10" with 275s on my sten.

90. The only foxbodys are 79-93. It is in fact a smidge wider than the factory housing which may be beneficial in effort to pull the wheel away from the frame, i would think that i could also run a deeper back spacing to take advantage of that and squeeze a 10" wheel under the *ss end just...

So long and short. I did some swapping and no longer have an 80 Regal somerset and instead have a 78 Malibu which is one of my favorite cars ever made. Pretty stoked about this. That being said- i have an 8.8 from a foxbody (gm 4.75 bolt pattern) that i am putting under the malibu. I am going...

If i tuck these tight enough, even possible notching of the grill/cutting out the downward 'swooping,' is it possible that i will not need the bunper fillers? I found a set for the 80, however i just cannot justify an expense of $150 for something when i may be able to get around it..

So i finally found an 80 regal that someone has 'built," as a hot street/grudge car to get an idea of how mine will look and see what i can do to make mine suit my taste. Essentially i really like the way this car is set up, most noteable differences i will aim for with my car will be 1) delete...

Yes hvh super sucker

About how much hood clearance are we getting on the 78-80 Regals? Dont have my engine in yet, but standard deck height small block, super victor + 2" spacer and 1050 dominator.. Anyway i could clear this beneath a 2" cowl? Dont mind minor fab work on the frame pad mounts if i have to. Just...

Overall, i like the stance of that blue one, with the clean blacked out look of the black one (especially the painted fglass bumpers) .. The only true 80 I've found (like mine) that doesnt look too bad is this one.

I like that black one quite a bit actually. Mine just has those goofy double headlights with it being an '80..

Car looks good, not a huge fan of the wheels but i like the car

Guess nobody has done this Lol

They ain't all that bad

I should have just waited for a malibu lol
