Ben, as i'm doing my front and rear end research now, the one question i currently have is, what do you know about the maximum tire size/offset i can use in the front? i'm only trying to accomplish a 275 up front, and changing to forgeline rims...

Plus the steering box....

thanx, Mike

On what year car Mike?
the best combo we have seen to date is to use the AFX spindle (tall) and the high Clearance upper control arms. One Lap ran that setup with 275 on the front of the 67 for years. 18x 9or 9.5 with a 6 3/8 bs if I remember correctly

Good thing I asked!!! EH
so with the Streetfighter front combo a 18 x 10 is easy when using the high clearance upper control arms, and special sway bar we designed. and a 285/295. you could run a 9 with the standard control arm and a 275 just have to watch the rim contact with the upper arm and sway bar at full turn it will be close.
