It is a Tilton pump for my transmission cooler. Pumps fluid from tranny runs through a cooler back into the tranny.

I want to fit 265 Dunlop Star Specs (best street tire ever imo) next but I'm a little worried about some rear rubbing. I don't rub at all at the moment. Anyone have experience with that or similar and my offset? I don't want to pull the rear fender much and I'm thinking they'll fit as is. Couldn't find any people running that wide with my offset and they all go crazy camber

. I still have a little room after the pull and work I did on the bumper. Any help? Pics?

Please just don't tell me to get some wheels that fit

Im not sure if I qualify. I am on 255/35/18's. I really wanted to run 265's, but I didnt want to have to roll the rear fenders just yet.

I think the Hankook v12's run a little narrow too. Anyways, im happy with them so far!

Huge advantage is, I have no rubbing whatsoever. None on the splash shields, fenders, nothing!
