Bummed I'm gonna miss this. I drop my car off Saturday morning with Josh at New Age HotRods for a week vacation with him. Don't hold off on my account.

GPI SS3 cam going in, BTR Platinum springs and Smith Brother's bushed turnions, a rod-mod and ported intake, and an 25% under-drive. Hoping to pick up around 75rwhp - but more importantly have an N/A car that'll trap 12xmph and run some low 11s.

Are they 45's or 40's. I thought the 45's would throw off the speedo so I been putting off the tires. I have those same rims here too. I was looking for a
305 40 18 but limited on choices

It’s still a go for tomorrow’s cruise to Glen Curtis Museum. Meeting at the city pier in Canandagua at 10:00 then back roads to Hammondsport. So far it’s me, Ghost7997 + 2, and nohemihere. Anyone who wants to join us just show up at 10:00 and be ready for some fun!

I would like to go but just too many chores that were delayed due to still being winter up until a week ago. Plus, it's Cinco de Derby day. Margaritas til 6:00, then mint juleps til 8:00, followed by passing out in a puddle of puke by 10:00.

Sounds like fun!

Is this all happening in the A.M.?

They are 305/45/18. A stock 275/40/20 (what's on my car) is a 28.66" diameter, these are a 28.81 - so less than half a percent difference.

With a 285/35/20 (like a 1LE has) the stock height is 27.85" - this tire would be 3.3% bigger and probably on the edge of throwing off the ABS/traction control. I'm not sure what the threshold is exactly, I want to say it's right around 4%. A 305/40/18 is 27.61" - should be about perfect for you. It is harder to get a good selection in that size.
