((Berkad))The only reason the garage is clean is because my wife said she didnt want to get snake bit. I told her its not a Cobra Jet ha ha (she didnt get it). I hate the mess left from fab work. usually its cluttered. ((magee)) WOW...thanks for the offer but....how do you say no nicely. ((55cub)) I have all the stuff to convert the fronts to disc I just havent had to much time. The wheels are Wheel Vintiques ($250) for the set fronts are 235-60-15's on 15x8 wheels and the rears are 295-50-15's on 15x9 wheels.

PS... I will make a video of it smokin the tires until one or both of them pop. Give me a few weeks to get comfortable with it and work out any bugs and I promise massive rear tire damage.

Have you checked to see if the front wheels will clear the new calipers. I am wanting to switch from my smoothies, but have had some problems with clearance. Other don't seem to have it. Maybe I have just picked the wrong wheels to try so far.

If you can, could you check sometime and let me know? I may go with that style wheel if it works.

Thanks
Guy
