Not a real good picture, but here you go...yes, they fill up the rear wheel wells...yes, they will throw stuff up on the back quarter of the car now...Mine are on the stock GT500 wheels and they come out to the very edge of the wheel well now on both sides...

Good experiences with both on different cars, but I think I'd lean towards the BFG's. IMO, better performance without wearing as fast. I think they're worth the extra cost.

clawsonbob Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Great looking car Bob, nice choice on the wheels. Rick thanks Rick...your "deep dishes" were my inspiration ! It just took me forever to get the rear sizes I wanted, find a decent deal on OE tpm sensors, resolve conflicts/get assurances that the 18 x 10 s and 285s would clear fenders and brakes. But I am happy with the outcome. Thanks again for the "wheel" inspiration and the all the valuable discussion on blower applications/pros/cons. Glad you got your "booster" set up & sorted too. These cars are a lot of fun as is but a couple more inches of rubber and a couple hundred more HP don't hurt the fun factor, thats for sure !
