I'm thinking of running 18s on the rear and 17s on the front. Has anyone ever done this and if so what size tires did you run. How was clearance.

Bob, 17's fit but have no clue about 18's.
BTW - when are you gonna bring out the SE? Can't wait to see it. I still remember the silver and purple paint.

Hey Chad, I have a wheel sponsor and tire sponsor. Toyo tires is gonna wrap whatever wheels I get from the wheel sponsor. I am waiting for the wheels to be released later this month. I'm getting a set of dish wheels and I want to try to create a hot rod look with 18's on the back with a little offset it they'll fit. They're 8.5" wide and the TSW's I'm running now are 8. The cars back on the road now and I'm working out the little bugs. Nothing major just timing and heat. The heat under the hood is a little intense but the engine cooling is doing fine although I know the bay temp is effecting it some. But dude, the ride is absolutely scary. Let me know of some shows locally to you and I'll see you at one of them, or if there is another get together.
