Mark, just wider wheels or more tire as well? It seems you are happy with your 275/325 combo, just wondering if you are planning on sharpening up the handling with a wider wheel and maintaining the same tire size.

Those front fenders are wider aren't they?

There are new tires out for 2013 so I'm revisiting my tire sizes. I have room to go with a 18 X 11 front wheel and a 18 X 13 rear. I could also push to 19s. I need to test a few tires and see what works out.

Yes 3 inch all the way out the back. Once we get the new engine done we are going to test different headers also. Long tube vs short tube.

Mark,

Just wondering if you could expand on what new tires are coming out this year...I am almost ready for tires, and would like something new other than the typical BFG's and such.

could you panel bond an L bracket on the back side??

Thanks Rod

Just guessing here, but there are new tires for the Gen V Viper out (355 rears!) and the new Corvette will probably have new gen tires as well.

Sorry. Im not a Camaro guy but in this pic it looks more like a frame plate rather than a rail. Is the frame rail really cut that narrow for the mini-tub? Another pic from another angle would help clarify.




Thanks for the detailed build info.
