    9" rear, ladder bars, mini tub with straightened frame rails, fuel cell. 15 x 12 Billet Specialties with 5.5" of backspacing, M+H 390/50r15. I can't remember the length of the 9", if anyone needs to know I can check.

    wow, that is a big tire stuffed in there!

    Does your roll cage go through the dash?

    No it doesn't. With how short the dash was I decided to have it go in front of it.



    Not the best picture but you get the idea.

    Ya'll have some nice cars... but how the hell do you all have these cars and still have empty, clean, beautiful garages? :) Even with a building out back for parts storage my garage I can hardly walk through my garage with the car in it! It's full of sand blasters, compressors, tool chests, cylinder heads, blocks and yada yada yada! I dream of a day I can have a hot rod and an empty and clean garage!

    Thanks,

    Ed

    Here is my old radial car:
    no mini tub
    1.25" off each end with c-clip eliminators as well as strange disc brakes.

    15 x 12 Bogarts on a 325/50 BFG

    Prior I had 325/50 BFG's on a 10" rims with stock springs/perch and it was really hard to get to fit, but it did work. When switching to a coilover the 15x12's had plenty of room.

    The key is a BFH ------ big friggin hammer
