my thoughts as well, i had thought about maybe going as big as a 19''.... but these 17's sure seem to fit nice, and i can mess around with some tire size combos to get it sitting how i want.

i also test fit the rear on the other chassis i have setup that is holding my body straight while i tub and do the cage.. it fit under there MINT..

Killer mad skills!! Very nice work? I would do the 10 point roll cage. You are already this deep. Beside when you get it all done you don't say crap, I should have... Just saying. I did a 6 and wish I would have done the 8 or 10 while it was down.

Thanks eh!.. i make do with what tools i have..
as far as the cage i do have an 8 point roll bar kit i picked up, but i dont want to just put floor plates and weld it to that, i'd like to get right to the frame. but seen as how the body is just using this frame to be held straight ill have to wait until its on its final resting place
