Hey Nev
Thinking Mickey Thompson Sportsman Pro 26x10.5 They have 8" of tread and a 10.5" sidewall. Definitely wish I had it mini tubbed when the body work was being done. :)

The colour is Candy Apple Red by Spray Chief. The photos dont do it justice. It glows in the sun but I like it at night. It goes a dark cherry red.
Cheers

You can only fit so much tyre in a stock wheelwell. The car is going to be low. More dish means the tyre will be brought out further and possibly rub on the gaurd. Sh.t if I had my way it would be fully tubbed with 12's

I dont know about you but I dont have unlimited funds. You can only do what you can do with the money available to you. Another 9 grand to fully tub the car was out of the question. Must be nice to be able to do what you want hey

Hi Nev,
Every year I say "this year" but definitely early next year. Its booked in to get the interior done early November ( black with red tuck n roll inserts). Then pretty much its ready to go apart from some small things to do. I give it back to the guy who did the conversion and he gets the engineers report done and puts it through Regency. Cant wait. Oh and then theres the ZEX system to hook up.970 and and and.....
Cheers

Thanks guys. Not so easy at the moment JJ for the full profile shot. Im still pushing it in and out of the shed ( brakes not working yet ) and my driveway slopes up just outside the garage door so its hard pushing. Soon though :)

Dave,
Those tyres and wheels fill the guards just right.
Good choice.
I notice the exhaust just peeking out behind the tyre.
Who did the exhaust for you?

Hey Nev
Exhaust Dynamics on Oaklands Rd at Somerton Park. Mick's his name and he's a really nice guy. He's a car guy too, doing a very racy XR Falcon. He did a really nice job. From the extractors with an X pipe and mufflers it was about $600. 8294 5565
