Welcome to the meat club Corey! Your have great taste in rims and tires. Did you get a good deal on the 325's? I may need a set this next season because the new TVS and 650 RWHP abuses the Dunlops.

Looks real nice, Corey. Any issues fitting 325's on?

I removed the "bump stop brackets," but thats because the inside lip of the wheel would have contacted them when the axle would droop.

Looks like the rears stick out some. Any rubbing over bumps?

Yeah, they do stick little bit. When i put a straight edge against the outside of the tire, i have a little less than 1/4" measuring from the straight edge to the fender.

I drove it a couple of times and never had any rubbing. I am a little concerned about that though. Im going to relocate the bump stops and make sure that they prevent any rubbing. It will be fine, im sure.

very nice. those rear tires carry a hefty price tag

Kind of.

What is the offset of the rear wheels?

I like the stance! I have the same springs I think (they were on the car when I bought it), but your stance is much more appealing. Maybe its the larger wheels? Either way, it looks great. I have a friend with the K(?) springs from FRPP on 20s, and that's the only car I've seen with a better stance. Can we get more pics from the rear of the car, I'd like to see how far the tires stick out.

This is what i want to know. i havent found where you could get 325's under the car without real rubbing...

hope im wrong because i want more traction.

I've got same tires on 11.75" alcoa's and no rubbing issues. I even did 2 road coarse track days on them. Now I'm on stock ride height and used a adjustable panhard bar as well.

Now when I ran 335 michilen pilot sports they rubbed when suspension compressed so much to the point it gouged inside of the tires. That's when I removed the bump stop and bracket but Was to little to late at that point tho and I didn't want a potential blow out so took them off and got Dunlop's just to be safe.

I found a deal on ebay for like 500-600 for both if I remember right.


Car looks clean man!!! Where in Louisina you located?

As i said, i drove it a couple of times with no rubbing, but ive been taking it easy over bumps and stuff. I have not cornered hard yet. I have the bump stop relocation kit on the way, and when i install it, i will make sure that nothing rubs.

Ill take some pictures of the back when i get a change.

So 325 is probably the limit without fender rolling. Interesting.

That'd be a great deal more traction than the stock 285'ers. I was going to look into that when I started Griggs'ing up my car.

Looks good. I would say 325 is the limit IMO. I run 315's Nitto's and that is a lot of meat back there...Lol I can only imagine what a 325 looks like....get a full on "rear" shot !
