Any rubbing issues? Are you running a spacer?

No rubbing issues. I am running a 1/4" MM lugcentric spacer stacked with a 3/8 LFP hubcentric spacer. I know this is terrible, and I make sure the lugs are retorqued after every drive. I just need to find some 1/2" spacers asap.
Car doesn't wander that much more than usual. Drives fine. Had it up to 130mph on the expressway and felt fine.

Those look sick! I hope you have built up your IRS. A buddy of mine with an 03 Cobra just blew out his rear end at the track yesterday running slicks and 450rwhp.

Its all in the driver with those halfshafts. I ran full slicks, stock IRS, stock suspension with over 100 passes. Pulled consistent 1.58-1.59's. When using full slicks you dont need alot of air in them. They actually are better for the rearend them DR's because they collapse when you launch and take the hit from you dropping the clutch. Thats just my 02.

BTW those tires and wheels look frickin amazing!!!! great job on your decision..... :lol:

Are they Hubcentric???


BTW....Thanks for all the comps guys. This took a long time and a lot of work, including the fender rolling, spacing configuration, 3" moroso stud install, ect..... The comps from you guys mean alot.
