Looks great! Do you have a pic from straight behind the car? I'll bet those 275's in back look totally badass.

Thanks Just as I suspected... bad ass. My Mirada has 275's on it too, but they seem to look beefier on an F-body for some reason. I think it'll look awesome with the rest of the fiberglass on there.

Thank you!! The offset on these rims is pushing them out further away from the leafsprings than stock rims would ( not sure what offset they are I can measure if anyone want to know will have to wait till I take the tires off to put on wheel flairs). Personally I would rather have them come in more so I dont have to raise the rear of the car so high. If I dont raise the ride height by about and inch or so the corner of the tire will contact the edge of the wheel opening. I also need a rear sway bar to keep this from happening but at the moment I cant justify getting one because I have to move out of skid row.

Yeah, I was wondering if they could be tucked in a little more, but that would be a bonus.

There is about a three inch gap between the tire and the leaf spring. You could either put a larger tire or hug them and by alot....

 

[Jack Meoff]

Definitely supremely badass.

Nice touch.
Putting even more fear in the blobmobile drivers.

 

[Blackbirdsrt78]

Now that I have a drill again I will be putting the wheel flairs on probably tomorrow or real soon just takes time to sand them and paint then I have to drill the mounting holes because I had to weld new metal into the quarter panels. And yes the blobmobile drivers take notice and get out of the way as they should. lol
