Peter, The tires are 315 nitto 555NT they are not the drag tire. Kurt did trim the lips but I think mostly because they were the reproduction quarters and they were quite a bit bigger then the factory ones. The tires look huge to me all most cartoonish. They look bigger in person then in the pictures. I don't think I will have the urge to go any bigger.

I am in the process or putting the interior back in and I had to cut and trim trim the rear interior panels because of the mini tubs but I think I have the best of it now. I cant put the carpet in yet because the shop (Ring Brothers)thats installing my exhaust s said the may want to weld brackets on the underside of the car to make the install look clean. I am trying to get every thing else I can done so once the exhaust is in I can start driving it right away.
