do you have enough room to use a 1/4in spacer and not hit the lip of the wheel well?most trouble is when the side wall wrinkles on launch.

I just put some BFG's that size on my demon. They look big on the car, but they looked HUGE in my girlfriend's living room :lol:

They are a little close on my springs too, but the body clears tall on six leaf springs. Maybe a little more rake than is really practical. I'd love to see pix of your car with them on.

Are yours slicks? I don't really plan to do a lot of burnouts to warm mine up, or low pressure to hook up... Do you anticipate a lot of wrinkling on hookup with your setup? If so who makes sbp spacers?

I was able to fit that size under my "Toad car" but I did have to trim back the front-bottom of the wheel well lip as it rolls under the car.

Just make sure you have enough clearance... the tires grow in diameter as speed increases and "cutting down" a tire at high speed is bad news.
