Re: New Rims & Tires on the way
Why'd you go with a 15x10 and that backspace if you don't mind? What tire for the front?

Re: New Rims & Tires on the way/ HERE (Pic)
It looks like the rear tires stick out... Is it noticable? Can you get a side shot? If you could, would you go with a different backspacing for the rear? Other than that... They look GREAT!

I would go with 6" of back spacing if I could do it again. Here is 1 more Pic of the motor

Looks like fun! What are you running at the track? Is it basically stock with a supercharger?

Re: New Rims & Tires on the way/ HERE (Pic)
NO Supercharger here!!!! That is a Turbo! Built Block w/ custom cam, Dart heads, HSR intake, T400, 3200 stall, and S475 turbo w/ 4" downpipe. BMR K-member, BMR coilover, Wilwood Drag brakes, Spohn Tq arm, and SLP line lock. Went to track (1/8 mile) for the 1st time after finishing car Friday night only got 1 pass in when the TPS sensor took a dump. Car ran a 7.9 w/ 1.89 60', getting on and off throttle because really lean (14.1 afr).

Wow... haha, I was thinking it didn't look like a paxton. Why did you decide on getting a turbo over a supercharger? What should you be running in the 1/4 mile?
