What Tire brand and size at the rear?

It might have when I got it, it still had cats on it. Not anymore. It's got Hankook Ventus RS3 in a 285/35/18's

This thing is beautiful!!

Not entirely a fan of the dual exhaust, but it really doesn't matter when considering the whole car.

Well done, sir!!

Nicely done. I like the rear hatch and gm body functions. Gas tank was an awesome swap too. That thing is nice!

Wow, the car looks amazing with the new paint/wheels/and body kit. Definitely love the attention to detail to make everything work properly although a GTO cluster with the red faces would have looked amazing.

And I'm not trying to be a dick, but that's what he said, and I honestly don't know. It's in the 30's but that's all I can remember.

Thanks guys. I know there are a lot of purists out there, but I really love having the v8. I used to do quite a few track days, so I wanted a linear power delivery, I don't enjoy driving turbo cars on track. I had an LS1 Miata before this, so it was an easy choice for me.
