put the 275s on the back with 7/32" spacers looks better, and not near the understeer it had with them on the front...and a wash today. definitely some room for 315/35/17 in the back..:D

Sweet. Mine sits low like StreetBu's, and I think the lowering spindles on mine pushed the wheels out some, probably why they stuck out like they did.

When I had 17s, the fender lip would touch the tire if I bounced the suspension, but they cleared the frame fine (275/40/17 on 17x9.5). If I buuld another chassis to go under this I will either do a custom frame section or notch it to fit something wide like a 315 or 325.
