wheel and tire size
i've got 10" rims with a 50 offset. 275/40/18 fit inside with plenty of room if you roll the fenders. i think 285s would fit ok also. i had 295/30s on for a while they stuck out a bit and i had to tie emerg brake line back with plastic ties. the 50 offset is a ferarri...
i've heard 98 mark 8 hood is made of aluminum,fiberglass or sheet metal, could someone tell me for sure. i'm thinking some kind of functional heat extractors. not having excessive heat problems but a fool needs to be cool. thanks

will need to roll fenders a little or raise some, sure u don't want to raise it with that tall of a tire. i rolled fenders, not hard.and u can go wider in the future. i had 275/40/19 on rear stock offset. 27.7 high
what i'd like is bluetooth,cd/dvd with screen,hd fm. whats the best bang for the buck that will fit. don't know if i need or want to change speakers or factory amp any advice appreciated.

5750 shift point was set while on dyno,i was wanting rwhp under 450. 438 at 5750 is what we ended up with using 6.5 lb pulley. when i switch to a 8.5 pulley it will make more hp than the engine can stand over 6000 rpm. i.m not trying to make all the hp possible so much as making all...

power not a problem. keeping motor to gether is. right now with 6 1/2 lbs boost i,m putting 438 hp to the wheels at 5750 rpms with 398 torque. i'm getting ready to go to a 8.5 pulley to increase low end power. if i can get the power and torque at 5800 to 6000 rpms its bound to be...
thanks driller, i havn't been on a strip for 30 yrs plus. so.with 373 gears if i use 285/40/18s; have enough power,don't spin i could possible finish 125 to 129 at 5800 to 6000 rpm. i would think that would be mid 11s et. you think? now the dumb question 3rd or 4th gear? to date the hardest...
question is this. how tall a tire do i need for best 1/4 mi. performance. 373 gears vortec sc. my optins are 285/40/18 27 in.--305/40/18 27.7 in--305/45/18 28.8 in. i,m trying to keep rpms at 5800 to 6000. thanks mike
aftermarket best bet,hardest part is finding what you like in 5x108.offsets 35 to 45 no problem 7 to 8.5 width.unless u want wide tires 265 thru 295. i,ve got 10x19 on rear with 295/35 wheel has 50 offset and is inside wheelwells. i did roll fender lip no spacer
