90s? Maybe out there. That sh*t was done here in the early 80s. We were mini-truckin' in the 90s!

Yep 80s here also. My 69 Nova had Gabriel air shock with 60s on the back end. Everytime the air leaked out the tires rubbed the fender wells badly. AHHH how times have changed

Another thing to remember is that Center Lines and any other solid rim have NO slots or holes for air to circulate and cool the brakes. No one cares on a race car but a DD needs cooling air flow on the brakes. Even hub caps are designed to circulate air over the brakes.

Thats good advice. Personally, I love the torque thrusts. Probly just wait til next year to get some 15x10 rear and 15x7 front. Maybe even 17s. Not quite sure

15x7 front, 15x8 rear

The 8's on the back make the rear stick out just a touch more, and gives it that "a little beefier" look.. and yeah, the rear quarters do get dirty... and the 15x8 lets you go to a 245

2 inches wider on the rear would make them stick out quite a bit more, but if its 3.5 backspacing, you won't have any frame issues..
