Dec 4 is a good date for a GTG...

Sounds like a good weekend to pull the engine on our 550. Right, Andy and Aaron?

You can fit 285's under there without rubbing. Some people would say that 305's or 315's will fit but there will be minimal rubbing at full turn.

bubble rubbing is cured with a sawzall and hammer.

miles - do you have any mods planned for your truck? there is a lot of stuff out there for mod motors. also, you should come to the NOV. GTG because the pizza was delicious, and we are pretty much the coolest group of dudes to hang out with on the planet, scientifically proven.
