How much work was involved in getting those 315's up front on yours? Are you running an inner fender?

Going bigger but going slow... and that's okay.

I am bummed about you selling the 15* beast!

A lot of rework on the JRS subframe so far with guidance from Ron Sutton... so much it's not really a JRS part any more thankfully.

No inner fender plans as of yet and the car will be flared in some fashion so clearance will not be an issue as we will build around it.

As Matt alluded to I am just trying to run the show at my house right now. The little guy in my avatar and his 3 week old sister are running sh*t.

Are the modification by Ron to fit the bigger tires or to modify geometry? How is it that the DSE guys can run 315's with minimal issues? Why is our sub so different? Maybe I should call Ron myself and see what he thinks about my build.

The tires already fit but you have to cut/modify both inner and outer fenders if that is what you are asking. The proper geometry is what we accomplished by working with Ron to get things sorted out.

Which DSE cars are you referring to? All the 1st gen cars I know of running a 315 front are modified at both the inner and outer fender.

As I mentioned before the only subframe I am aware of that is currently able to keep a 315 "inside" the fender (with some mods) is the new SpeedTech / Sutton subframe.

And yes you can't go wrong calling Mr Sutton.

If you want it done right spend some money with the guy in red.

The new Sutton / SpeedTech subframes people are installing right now will be having some 315 squared setups I bet.

Yes RedZed our shop 69 has 315 on the front an rear (could fit 335 in the rear. NO outer fender mods. we also have a 67 we are building same 315 on the front NO outer fender mods. Both use our wide inner fenders NOW AVAILABLE!!! we have a customer with a 67 and JCG wide front fenders that has 335 on the front and rear.

In other words -- just order a new SpeedTech sub..... and the inner fenders.

The Fairway 67 we are building has 305/19's on the front with only custom inner fenders. Speedtech did not have fiberglass units when we built ours.

Thanks guys, i'll be calling Ron and Speedtech.
