I agree on going a bit lower, but then again I like em' low!

edit - Tim built a custom oil pan that doesn't hang below the car/chassis, so no less than 5" ground clearance at this height...

I looked again...hoops are there :willy: .....on the 3/4 view of the back it looked like I could see inside the tire itself...my mistake....its just the reflection on the hoop.....

Funny you say that. A buddy of mine came buy and was actually touching the tire and thought the same thing.:lol:

When I was first setting up ride hight I showed the customer those same pics. Problem is he's a little old school and likes them sitting a little higher.

Buy the way your car is BAD A$$ !!!!!

Thanks Mark! Sounds like your customer is coming around for an "old school" kinda guy considering what your doing with his Cuda. Nice fab work as usual - looking forward to seeing the finished build. :cool:

XV runs 335/30/18's on the rear of their cars and they told me all they had to do was roll the wheel lip. I was kinda hoping to do the same on my cuda. I dig the 19 inch tires and the look, but my srt4 came stock with 19 and the tire price is high and they dont make alot of different sizes yet that I know of. I guess I am just hoping for big rubber with less work :thumbsup:

I dont know I believe that... the stock tubs are decent size but I think a 335 would be real tight. It also depends on how the car sits....if you dont mind it sitting kinda high and roll the outer lip it might just fit. Plus "fitting" and "fitting right" aren always the same thing. If you dont mind alittle rubbing from time to time, then okay.

A 315 probably but a 335 is cutting it pretty close in my opinion. And yes, the range of 19 tires is alittle smaller than the 18 or 20's

If you go to my pix link below I have some pix of the 335 being fit into the cut out stock tub location..... this was done at the previous shop, so don't pay attention to the quality of the fab work :)
