damn, your car is looking pretty close to what i am doing. i tried the 20s on mine with the 245 35 20s and i had to cut the wheel wells like you. my question is how the hell to i get wheel wells to work witht this setup so i dont thrash my polished engine? i had to go back to 17s for now but i am pulling them for the cutty now and the 20s are going back on. so you are notcning it? not sure that you know but it also requires a notch on your frame for the driveshaft also. i decided against it, i have blown a air line at 60 mph before and it was not fun, i cant imagine doing it with a notch cause i would have rolled my car if i had a notch at that time. i really like the car!!
Looks good. Are you doing a "C" notch or a step notch? Im going tomorrow to get metal to do a "C" notch on mine. Also are you doing tubs in the rear?
Reagalman4925 inorder to keep your engine bay clean with the 20s go to Northern tool company or a trailer supply and buy trailer fenders. You can weld them to the inner fender. like this......

yeah we are going to notch the frame this weekend. i am going to z the front and modify the frame so i will need to do a whole new tunnel so notching for the drive shaft wont matter, wont be too much more work at that point. we will be doing a bridge then tubbing it and just covering it all with removable panels. the trailer fender idea is the best way to keep the engine compartment clean.
i have been pondering that idea, tractor supply company sells them in town, my buddy uses them for chopper fenders. i am just wondering about getting it all together and clean looking. i will be looking at mid summer before i start messing with all of that stuff.
looks good! are you rolling with it locked up? i just drove mine for the first time today on air and i have to be almost fully locked up to drive safely....
does your front wheels rub allot when dropped all the way? i have not driven mine with the 20s on it but the 17s rubbed pretty bad when lowered down but i think the offest was wrong on them, too deep
Im hoping you're planning on a brake upgrade. Factory brakes were bad enough, let alone with those monster wheels :wink:
