I like.... what size rears are you looking to get? 12"? That is a very wide wheel, should fit some 325/60/15's....

Yeah,12 inch.I'll be able to run any size tire,but a 325 is what I'll start with.

Very nice, from the few details in your sig it looks like you are gonna need every bit of those 325's.

I say go for it, I may have missed it but are you going built 8.8 or 9"?

How much are you shortening the axle tubes if you are sticking with the 8.8?

Thanks,it might move pretty good if it ever gets done.I have a narrowed 8.8.It's 2.5 inches shorter on each side,with minitubs and coilovers.

Those look badass. My vote is just painting the center. Ive seen the black new edge stangs with black bullitt wheels and the polished lip. Looks badass.
