[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 10694746, member: 9628"] After months of fitting and testing, I like 10" Alcoa's up front with 275/35 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT's and 12" Alcoa's on the rear with 325/30 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT's. I had two main objectives with this car and both were equally important, Additional rear traction for a 725 Super Snake, and Retain the original Super Snake look............ [ATTACH=full]187288[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187289[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]187291[/ATTACH] Also of importance to me was an attempt to match tires on all four corners and not have mis-matched fronts and rears, also an attempt to regain the 1/2" rim width up front that would be lost by using 9" Alcoa's on the front vs. the original 9.5" wheels that were installed by Ford when new. In the end I got some badly needed rear rubber traction surface and also some additional front tire tread traction surface for a heavy nosed GT500..........and the car stills retains the Super Snake look, without wider tires that look like "love handles" on too narrow rims, or wider rims with tires that are too narrow. It is a balancing act with the Alcoa's. :thumbsup: R [/QUOTE]
