Just up the road and back but I was pretty pleased with it. I shaved the heads .030 added the cam Cliff recommended with the 1.65 rockers arms. Cliffs rejet kit and Sun Tune recurved distributor. Everything seemed to work well. I wish it had just a little bit of lope at idle but it runs really well.

Yep. I ended up going with new 15x8s. Couldn't make myself put 17s on an original Bandit. I wanted to keep more of the stock look.

I'm glad. Older cars just look off w/ larger wheels and those ultra thin tires, to each their own.

I currently have 275-60R15's on the original 7" rally wheels on the back of my car. No clearance issues at all. 275-60's on back and 255-60's on front would be a good looking combo...
