New Frame Notch Puts 325/50/15 BFG Drag Radials On My GN...on 10" Rims!

[Epitome]

All I can say is HOLY TIRES! It's all under the car too, not sticking out of the fenders. The tires up front are 215/65/15s......and now they look like skinnys lol. Cotton did the work.....I'm very happy. I'll get pics of the custom fit roll bar he did for me asap Look at the bottom pic

5.5" backspace....NO SPACERS. Weld rims only come 4.5 and 5.5 and Cottons car uses a diferent rim that is 5" BS on his own car. I went with the Welds (because I like them) and figured I may have to spacer them back out a bit, but we didn't need to. Everything is clearing well except for a minor inside rub (on the left) on a hard right hand turn, but that will be massaged out. Hooks like a mother on the street lol.

I'll post pics of the work when I can

By the way, all the pics on the link are of my car with the 8" rims and 275/60/15 BFG DRs. Only the last pic is of the new set up.

That looks so sweet. I have a set of front GTA rims all around on my T-type with a set of 305/40/16 M&H's on the back with just a 1/4" spacer and no rubbing. But i would love to see picks as to how they notched it.

I'll have better pics up today along with pics of the roll bar.

Damn! Now thats some tires. Looks great!

Looks great! You'll like the way they work too. I went 9.34 with them. If you clearance the tubs, you can probably fit a 315-60 which is HUGE in comparison. Those are what I currently run with 6" b/s on an 11" rim.

These 325-50s are 27.9" tall vs the 275-60s I used to use that were 28" tall......virtually the same. I am using a Phoenix 28.5" tall slick.....which give me some minor clearance issues on the launch, but they can be easily fixed. The 325-50 DRs are actually just a shade wider than the 10.5 slicks.

OK I just put up some pics I took today. The last four pics on the page are of the car with the new notch job and stealth roll bar. The roll bar really hugs the roof and the sides and is a perfect color match. A1 custom job. You can see in the last 3 pics just how hard it is to notice. However, it's very hard to hide those huge tires and rims lol

Dude you've got the look!

Perfect stance, and fit on the wheels/tires and the roll bar. Very nice!
