18 x 8 SLG20 Soft Lip Wheel -- 225/45 18 BFG KDW-2

20 x 10 SLG20 Soft Lip Wheel -- 295/45 20 BFG KDW-2

The tubs were hand made so i am not sure how big they actually are. The one thing i can say for sure is that they are very tall because the trucks sits only 4" off the ground.

Okay couple more updates on the GT. It's actually starting to look like something.

Here is the new location of the Master Cylnder. We moved it up as to increase the pedal ratio to 7 to 1





It's hard to see in the picture but the rod is at the highest pedal position
