Got 2 15x10s on their way...Stuckey says fit 250/585 to the front 8" rims...I am not totally hot on the idea as 250/585 (WO2 uncut wet compound) says use a rim size of 9-10.5"..(10" tread width)...plus I am a bit worried about sidewall flex...might get 2 of the tyres up for the rears and fit one to the 8" front to see how it sits and clears.Alternative is a 220/565 front tyre...but thats only available in a D12 which is a soft...not a WO2 uncut wet compound...problem there is it is 8.8" tyre and the locked diff with the 10" rears might induce pretty heavy understeer unless I can dial it out with shit loads of neg camber and sway bar adjustments....Who said this was easy?..The Yellow car looks like a walk in the park on set up compared to this mother!

What are you running on the back rims? I have 265/625 D11s which are a nice fit on the 17x10's.

250/585 -15....Craig says I need to stay under 24.5" OD otherwise they rub. If the 250s on the 8" rims clear on the front I will probably go there as it is a WO2 uncut wet...soft as shit...instant grip...just what i need.Howard..what lbs are your rear springs?

Were you able to order a 355 crank to suit a 308 block directly from the US? Is freight expensive? Where did you order your parts from and do you have to pay import duty, etc. on them when they arrive?

Rory's not running simmons anymore, but I will be so those pics will come in handy I didnt manage to get any closeup shots of that car, although for display wheels for my car that "reda9x" sedan there gave me some ideas

I might still run the Simmons on the front with that skimming on the face to get the same effect. Challenger 10" on the rear though.
