Bob, the payment is in the mail errr...it's coming .

The big reason I like to ask others what works/fits is due mainly to my inexperience. I realize every car goes together different...maybe it's just nice to hear I'm on the right track after asking or maybe I'm trying to copy .

I want as wide of rear tires as I can fit, but again due to inexperience I tend to shy away from doing exactly what I want and settle for something that will be easy/cost effective for me to accomplish. Example, the 275 rear tires I have sitting around would look great on this car, but they won't fit w/o heavy modification so I settle for a narrower tire...narrowing a rear doesn't seem cost effective for me. I would tend to see what I can get and chose a wheel/tire combo to fit that. I'm not real sure how to measure for a rear width/tire/wheel backspacing either. Also, are those wheels 16"? That look and stance is more or less what I'm after...

As for the front...I will be at 56 1/2" plus 11" rotors (which I understand as well is an extra 5/8" x 2). I don't see myself not using the rotors that will come with my kit so other than gaining 2" from narrowed control arms I will likely run a tire that will fit where I'm at there. I guess the way I figure it is if others get by with that set up with narrow tires I can too...just just want to make it through this build alive and not get too crazy with this

I know I was told before the rear of the frame should be okay, but the shop reccommends partially boxing the rear as well so I want to be well imformed before I refuse. I do plan to replace the center of the X so that should help there. Did you say that was the stock rear crossmemeber...is that suffiecient for the shock mounts?
