Beasty build. i didn't know it was this in-depth.

Now you know why I practically live in the shop as much as I can stand it.
The wheels I got came with almost new 235/45 17s on 8 1/2" wheels. I'll be trying to figure out how to use the tires, but I'll most likely have to step down in size to a 235/40 or shorter so I can keep the front low. Have to see when I get to that part.
There will be a lot of modification in the front to go as wide as I can. The K member will be an aftermarket tubular Mustang setup with the SN95 Cobra brakes and rack. Planning on going with an SLA setup to eliminate the struts and free up some room. Sooo... a little more modification will just add to the fun.
When I get to bodywork I need to look at reshaping the front wheel wells so the 17s look right on the first gen. Most 17s look too big in the wheel wells up front (personal opinion). Haven't got much choice if I want to run the 13" front brakes though. Again, will need to look at it when I get to that point.
I'm trying to avoid the wide body modification if I can and still get a decent size tire under there. Gotta do it the hard way.
