So, I think that I've got thing about 90% daily commuter ready.

255/60/15's on the front, 275/60/15's on the rear.

The carb seems a little lean still, I'll fudge with that later. My favorite feature has to be the 40 gallon fuel cell I put in the trunk.

No theme, this thing is the real deal. I'll be putting all the spare parts from my race car into this thing. Super cheap.

4' backspacing, front and rear. And I lied, they are Aero 52's. They're not DOT legal, but they weigh a few pounds less.

So What's Not DOT legal about them?


usually racing stuff is stronger and better engineered then dot stuff.. Well There are exceptions like Slicks dont do well in rain.

I dunno. They came with a warning letter that they were not DOT legal or for street use.

On race steel wheels the rim is thinner. They will bend if the tire goes to pieces and the wheel hits the pavement.

I don't think 10's would fit I had to roll and flare the fenders a bit just for these. Also, the wait for 10's is ridiculous, after waiting a month, I just went to 8's. looks like that worked out in the end.

And the Fuel call.....From an old truck of mine, of course....
