Tom, thanks and yes saying I'm anxious to get to work on it is an understatement.

Are you deep in Malibu or further south? Love the bugs bunny cartoon--I forgot all about that one. Classic.

Thanks. I am doing a 18/19 or 19/20 combo. The chassis and stance is built around that size tire or close. I like the look of the 335 20 in the rear for sure. I just don't want the fronts to look to rollerskate in comparison. I'd like to get at lest a 285 width (preferably larger) tire up front and 26.5 tall. If I can get a tall enough front tire the 28" tall 20s will be in the rear. Otherwise I may go with the 27" tall 335 or 345 19.

One advantage to the 18/19 combo (besides unsprung weight) is the tire availability due to it being the Viper sizing.

I'm further south in Orange. Trestles not Malibu for me.
