SDMAN, what´s your wheel/tire sizes?

BTW, I appreciate if someone can share pics of 28"x12"x18" Mickey Thompson S/R radials.

My front tires are the shorter version. They are 12" wide, 18" dia but only 26.25" tall, not the 28" tall. The rears are the 18" wide, 18" dia 29" tall.

Front rims are 11" wide and rear rims are 15" wide.

I am building a modern pro 68 Camaro. I just about have it stripped and ready for blasting. I have removed the floors and back half including quaters, roof, inside dash, complete rear package tray, etc.. I want to run tires like these and want to know if DSE mini tubs will work or get DSE full tubs. Im also looking at Lateral Dynamics new 3 link rear possibly using an Alston back half.
I was sold on a Totalcostinvolved front frame but it seems so many companies are coming out with some serious stuff in that area.
I want twin turbos and the new paddle shift option but my kids are too old to try and sell...LOL... so that will come last. I raced paddle shifter karts and if you have ever been in one of these karts coming into a corner at 80 mph downshifting at the wheel while having one foot on the brake and the other on gas.......TOTAL CONTROL and what a rush.

Thanks Guys

You know Pro Street never went anywhere, just everyone has there head stuck up all this Pro touring crap that no one noticed anything else. Not that the pro touring cars arent nice but there are other styles. Pro Street is my fav and when you throw the new wheels, tires, big power whats not to love..

What killed 'pro-street' was the complete boredom. Same friggin car time after time. You had to have the mandatory BBC with a blower, totally unuseable suspension, fake wheelie bars, mandatory tin interior, circus wide tires, ludicrous paint job, et al. Yuck. Most of them, if they even ran at all, were the pits to actually use. And most of them spent their life on the trailer because if they ran, it usually wasnt for more than an hour at a time. It didnt start out that way, but thats what it morphed into. And 90% of them were 67-69 camaro's. That didnt help either. BOOORRRING!!!

Im not much into labels, but the 'modern' pro-street thing gives us a chance to go there again, and fix it. So Im not unhappy with this label. My project is currently getting an NHRA 8.50 cert cage and custom headers made. The headers have turned into quite a job, but the guy fabbing them is doing a very good job. Should be done by months end.

OMG! It's a Mutant, but a very nice looking one.

How about calling it, Pro Steering?

or,

Pro Tosting?

or,

Trans-Touring? (In honor of Jerry Springer)

or,

Pro Bi-Streetouring? (For the Bretheren in San Fransico who lost on Proposition 8)

I give up, what do you think it should be called, other than Hot?
