Any reason you didn't go with 15x8 wheels?

Yes, the 15x7 fits, they are lighter, cheaper in price, and a better fit for a 26x9.5-15" Hoosier qtp tire. Max recommended is 8" wide, minimum is 6". Plus it'll look sexier making the tire look fatter

All good reasons. I would have thought a wider wheel would work better. Since our stock wheels and FD wheels are both 8in wide I just thought that would be the way to go.

It really just depends on the tire

don't worry, today I put in some fresh 20w50 and also two new pumps. the weather lately has been total crap and my work schedule has been pretty busy. I'm going to start driving it a lot start this week Hopefully tune it in a week or two maybe, we'll see

Car looks really good Scott. I didn't even realize the tucked bay when I looked at it at your house. Makes me want to keep my black evo and fix it up.

Yeah, will most likely be tuned on the highway for WOT as usual. It doesn't take too many pulls to get her dialed in. I usually do it late at night when no one is around.

Thanks Brad. I did the partial tuck while the motor was out.

I think you should keep it
