Is that your front tires?

 

[srduster340]

Damn bro'! Is there enuff room for the rear end? That's going to look KILLER! PLEASE post pics when it's done.

 

[green1]

Narrow the rear, tub, and modify the front 1/4's.

 

[efriedrich]

Dang, you building a monster truck.:thumleft:

I dunno'.....if it needs that much tire it might need more than that 8 3/4 that's laying under there.

 

[blue440duster]

I didn't do it cuz at the time I looked around and cars were going crazy fast on 10.5in tires but everytime I see a tubbed car with tires all tucked in real nice I wish I would have done it!

In reality I didn't want to go super fast anyway but the car is for ME and I should have done EXACTLY what I liked

I should AT LEAST mini tubbed it.


Make sure and tell the guy who does the cage to give you some breathing room to take the dash IN & OUT if you are going to do so.... I took my car in to the fab shop with the dash in it so he knew where the dash came out too but he only left a gnat's *** hair between it and the cage, I got it out... but putting in a nice freshly restored dash without scratching it is gonna be a *****!

Thats some serious MEATS!Your frame rails will be about 1 foot apart,will also be a biotch getting those wheels on/off.Good luck.

What I was thinkng

 

[Dustedu2]

Holy Crap, why not just get one tire that goes all the way across like Fred Flintstone had?
seriously, that will be bad a--!

 

[Darter6]

Talk about a STEAMROLLER !!!!!!!

 

[green1]

Depends on the height. I have back halved, narrowed, frames 24" apart, 33" diameter tubs; I will have to modify front lower opening to put 32" tall in it.

 

[BigWhip]

no one liked my joke. bummer

 

[dilley340]

I love it! Go for the gusto. What size wheels and tires are those? I'm curious about the wheel backspacing.

Nice shop to btw... lift, tranny jack, even A/C. Looks well lit too.

Cool project!

 

[Bigredlid]

yeah shops my dads. 24" frame rails. 15x14 pro stars x3.5 backspace, should make it easy(er) to get them on and off. tires are 29" tall 18" wide sportsman sr. i will be using the 8 3/4

 

[green1]

29 should fit, I need 32's, and they won't fit.

 

[Bigredlid]

they fit. were extending the wheel base maybe an inch so they fir in the wheel arch. gotta order the axles 39 inches from the back of each wheel to the other

 

[mopardude318]

those are massive! i like em!

 

[67Dart440]

They are going to look awesome up under there... can't wait to see more!

Those are the same wheels I put on my car.

 

[greenmonsta79]

Looks great but money wasted if your gonna use a 8 3/4, better step up to a Dana 60 if your running meats that big!

 

[Bigredlid]

you might be right. Think of it as R&D
