Re: My new setup 17/15 Weld RTS
Thanks. I'm using the 185 M&H radials. About $2200 for everything. The front wheels were $446 each. Crazy money for just a 4.5 wide wheel but guess 17" makes it higher. Front tires were $186 each I think. Got everything but rear tires from Summit and had to wait a month for one front wheel.

Thanks. Nope stock. Trying to figure out my motor swap first. I know cars are a money pit but just can't help to keep digging

None. Although in turns it's rubbing on a brake bracket. Should be able to bend back. Like this pic.

Could you have fit the 9'' wheel with a 6.5'' backspacing?

Maybe hammering stuff. The other day with a little more weight in the car, it was smoking after I was done driving it. Was rubbing somewhere on inside.
