Since I got my Michelin Tires 345-30-19 I've been wanting to test fit. Mike at MCC built the rear and said it would be tight, Well he did an awesome job they fit with plenty of room. I worried they might be trouble, but today the car went to the guy who's doing the Chicane kit. He's also doing the exhaust so he needed the tire to make sure the tail pipe would clear. When I got to his place I asked him to try it while I was there, to either let me know I was all set or if I needed an antacid for the gut ache I would have if it was too tight. What a relief the ant acid stays in the cabinet!
Here are some pictures of them in the car. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds I could fit my hand between the tire and the fender as far as my knuckles. He's also going to weld the DSE frame connector brackets to the sub, they'll bolt to the connector. |
Car is looking great,glad to see you making good progress.Those 345's do look nice on there.

Thanks they had me wondering, but they fit well.
|
Quick question, is that the standard DSE mini-tub kit and directions that those tires fit into or did you do something extra?
|
My car rebuild was done by Mike’s custom Cars he did the DSE mini tubs the way they instruct you to do. He had me order the wheels and built the rear to what he figured from having the wheels. He got it perfect. I haven’t trimmed the wheel well lip and it looks good to go. If I lower the car I’ll have to check again to make sure.

Looks great Wayne. I just got my tires mounted to my new rims as well. The 345 is a very tight fit. I'll have to trim the outer lip a little, I think.
I have about 3/8" on the inside, although the pic makes it look tighter. https://i.imgur.com/klSRf18.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Yhh99Hd.jpg |
I got some pictures of the frame connector brackets welded to the sub.

https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...080&fit=bounds The welder @akuma.fab said the distance was about 3/4" at that spot of the picture and up above at the closest is 1/2". |
I just got some pictures of the work on the exhaust, he made an X pipe to fit around the 4l85. Here's a few pictures.

I'm planning to have the exhaust coated, I don't think they can do anything for the the flex coupler. I'm going to make a heat shield if there's room, I'll also put heat shield over the trans cable. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds Some of his TIG work. https://hosting.photobucket.com/imag...720&fit=bounds |
