The rears are 275 40 20 and fronts are 255 30 20. The reason I went with those are I dropped 1.0 inch rear and 1.4 inch front with bmr springs so I wanted to pronounce the "raked" look. In the future I think I would like to try 255 35 fronts if they fit on a 1.4 in drop with no rubbing

they look way different!

Looks good, but don't be putting air shocks in the rear. lol

Now that's what these cars need. Chrome wheels. I like how the rears are close to even with the wheel well. Gives it an old school look. Not bad looking wheels. I would try to go wider on the rear, as with that offset it should render more room on the inside.
Nice job.

I had done something similar with my '91 Mustang GT, dropped 1" rear, 1.5" front, but I did the big 'n' littles:

Thanks! And yes the rear is 10.5in.. After I burn the 275s up I'll be going 305 for sure!

I love the hot rod look. My dad had Mopars in the 70's with extreme rakes and slotted mags. Mostly 1969 Chargers, those were his favorite.

Yess as do I!! That's what I was going for!

I like the stance. But I would really like it with some bigs and littles. Not a huge fan of the wheels.

But I guess it's a good thing everyone doesn't like the exact same thing, because then everyone would be after my wife haha.

Looks good.

Hahah.

SUX2BU · 11-20-2013, 11:05 PM

So the rear tires are 28.7" tall and the fronts are 26" tall. Are you running around with the stabilitrac/ABS/traction control lights going crazy or did you just pull the fuse?

SSofla · 11-21-2013, 11:08 AM

I haven't had any stabilitrak issues to note- after having the wheels put on I went to the dealer and had them reset tpms- they mentioned this issue but said it wouldn't be a problem if I ran 38psi in the front and 32psi in the rear.
Your post is good info to know incase I ever encounter that issue- what is the fuse # pull you speak of? Would that disable traction control all together or just prevent it from being a problem?
