I have 17" alumistars on the front of the red car and they look pretty good, just wish the rotors were 13" like the Cobra to take up some of the room..:bigthumb:
Yeah, it is close on the rear brakes for sure and the single bead lock helps for sure. I'm not fast enough for a beadlock period, but it will look good. I'm still on the fence about the 15 vs 17.

I can't be held accountable for the previous owner. Hood spacers will be gone soon.

This should answer your question. if you spent the money for the light brakes why throw a larger heavier wheel over them?

Yes. The new motor should make plenty of power.

I don't think we could match Russ even if we combined our money along with 1997b4c. That man straight up throws down! They'd be better off putting an ATM in his private room.
