Nice.... by chance are you at Eric's today? I'm fighting the urge to take advantage of the Bonspeed wheel sale and was thinking to move to 275/315's as well. Unfortunately I'd rather now mini tub so I was curious if I could check out the clearance on your back tires.

I'm not, but I imagine that Eric would be there and wouldn't mind if you stop by...

BTW, on my old project, I ran 17" x 11" wheels on the back of that car. I did not beat on the tub much, but they did rub. Particularly on the fender lip. Rolling it would help (which I did not do), but I don't think you could really have the car sitting 'low' without some rub. It's just too tight in there. Of course, beating on the inner tub would help some too.

I'll stop by and see if he's around on my way home. I was under my car measuring the other day. I was thinking to try cutting a little out of the floor, the back seat supports and remove the hump in the front to stretch the inner wheel wells a little to make them fit. After seeing your setup I've also been talking to Jake and Speedtech about a new torque arm setup. Hopefully after I see your wheels in person I don't decide I have to purchase some Forgelines next......

Sounds good. I know we'll be there tomorrow as I'm determined to finish the wiring and plumbing to try and fire the engine!

Good luck on not wanting a set of wheels... They are like crack!

I won't be around tomorrow, I'm headed to SA for an autocross with the SA Camaro club. I'm sure you'll get it all ready tomorrow so I'll stop by to hear the beast roar on Sunday.
