how is the ride with the 285/35's i was thinking about getting that size tire but ended up with the 275/40's

The ride is really good. Much better feel over stock and that is with stock suspension.

Looks good... I need some wider tires on my rear wheels

What is the offset on those Ruff wheels front and rear?? Thanks.

Not the best pic and the car is lifted about 5/8" all the way around until I get it done but it gives you an idea. It also has no rear bumper on it and very little gas s that will bring the rear down a little more. I hope everything fits the way I measured it. I braced the rear quite a bit for the frame notch and the clearences are tight. Rear tires are 315/30R18's on 18x10 rims with a 5.5" backspace.

Heres a couple more with the majority of the front spacers out for a better idea of ride height. Once the passenger door is on, rear bumper is on, E85 is in the tank, and all spacers are out, I'm hoping to have a perfect stance!

Not sure. I woul dhave to check. They are actually a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, I run adapters. It was hard to find affordable 18's with the right backspace in our bolt pattern. I have less than 1K in the wheels and adapters.

Looks like you got the recipe! Looks GREAT. What brake set up are you using on the front?

18's

Here's some 18" x 7" and 18" x 8" torqlites I got last summer with 4" and 4.5" BS. Tires are 245/40 and 275/35. Idea from 87GNasty's setup he had. :smile: Rims were inexpensive and Hankook K104 tires were a great price too.

The front end has quite a bit of expensive mods. I'm running ATS spindles which lower the car 7/8" and have C5 Vette hubs machined into them so I can run 13" C5 brakes. They are stock C5 calipers and ACDelco C5 drilled and slotted rotors with ACDelco ceramic pads. I'm running Moog 5658 springs also.
