To answer a few ??'s. Rear tires are 345/35X18's on 18X12 rims. To get them completely inside the wheelwell took a 2.5" mini tub (and on a 70 GTO means moving the frame rails in 2.5"). The wheels were custom made and the rearend was narrowed to place each tire exactly where it needed to be. The look, stance, etc is a result of a whole bunch of trial and error work. Some on paper, some on a CAD system and some real time. Ive driven the guy who does all my custom fabrication a little crazy along the way, but he likes what he sees too. First time Ive ever gone this far with a car.
