315/45/16 MT DR on a 10" GBody GTA's

This car has 3.73 gears in it currently(Not for long,3.23's on the way)So I wanted to run a bit of a taller tire.I ran across the 315 Mickeys and thought they would be perfect...27.2" Tall and damn near 12"wide.

This car is a GNX wannabe...With Flares front and rear.

I am running no spacers and can fit my hand between the tire and the frame on each side even on the frame section in front of each tire.(Where it would normally be the 1st spot to Rub).

Let me know what you guys think....I still have my Toyo Proxie TQ's that are just under 26" tall...But they dont hook worth a crap and they are too short for track use.

On to the pics...there is about 1" height difference between the Mickeys and the Toyo's pictures last...But about 1.5" in width.










My youngest out helping Daddy Do...Ummm.Something...lol






Here is the car sitting on the Toyo's...

I'm a big fan of the 'raked' stance. I've never seen GTA's w/ such big tires tho so it does look kind of odd. With that being said I love it! Dare to be different

Man, that looks great... I have a set of GTA's that need some polishing and paint, I was thinking about selling them, but now I think I'll use them as cores for GBodyParts when I get rich and can afford new ones...lol...
