I dont think you will be dissappointed, I was running the fastest lap times in my run group and track temps were well over 100*. Not to mention the fact my car only made 221 whp and 253 ft lbs of torque on our dyno

Hey Braydon, I wanted to ask you, I realize your car sits pretty low in the back did you have to move or modify your rear bumper bolt? I think I maybe getting some contact with mine on the passenger side.

Nope, It looks low in those pictures because its squatting coming out of that turn going on to the front straight away. I rolled my rears to be on the safe side but I am not even sure how necessary that was. When I had the car all loaded up for the track I could get it to rub one very small spot on the inside of the fender well towards the front of the car going in and out of steep driveways. But I didn't have any issue with the bumper bracket coming into contact with the tires. It seems like most people running a 265 and larger tire are hitting that bracket and in turn re locating not only the bolt but also grinding down a portion of the bracket. I think that we would have a similar issue if the offset was closer to a +30 but the +35 seems to allow sufficient room for suspension travel.

Here are a few shots in the back of our shop but I will try and upload some better ones for you tomorrow I just need to get them from home.

See by those pics your car looks lower then mine I think the wheel has hit the power bolt and actually kinked in the corner panel right where it meets the bumper as a result. I would love to see more pics if you have them. Thanks!
