good luck with your purchase.



Oh, and was there any sort of modifications needed to be done to the wheelwells to run this size tires.

I got the Z28 at my house right now to prep it for my upcoming future giftage I guess. The car is sitting on 245-50-16's all the way around.

nothing has been done to the wheel wells yet Curtis..
the fenders need to be rolled, and a couple of spots inside the fender well need to be massaged a little..
I had a 200+ guy in the back Sat, and you could here the tire rub on big bumps...
let me know when you are going to do this???
maybe we could go in on renting the fender roller???
it costs $300 to rent but you get $250 of it back..

make sure you have a heat gun available so you don't crack the paint when you do this, at least that is what I have always done. Or you could use a Baseball Bat...

a big hammer . . . sludge hammer works better. My brother did the same, I got in the back and jumped around. We used the tire scuff marks as a pattern to go by. When we were done we used some flat black paint, and painted over the beat marks, and drove around some more.
