I can’t seem to keep the slant 6 on the road. When the 1 barrel opens up the tire smoke is too much. So any chance 30 x 9 slicks will fit? I am going to try soon bit thought I would share…

Joking of course … that thing won’t spin the tires on ice… but I do want to see if they fit for a few local car cruises ! But too large with the 30 inch I think

Squeal your tires just to hit the brakes and 50 miles an hour and lock everything up. lol

Yeah, 30" tires won't fit without a jigsaw, LOL.

I knew you were kidding. My Aspen was originally a Calif emission 90 hp S6 and 4 speed. It wouldn't turn a 205/70R14 tire on a wet road if you dumped the clutch.

Those tires are going to over power any stock braking system and there'll be no lockup.

wooden baseball bat and throw it between the tire and wheel well and slowly roll the car back and forth. That’s how all the cool JDM guys flair their stock fenders so they’ll tuck oversized tires on their lowered cars.

I actually have 30 x 10.5 w on my Volare, they cleared by a quarter inch static so I did a little pie cut on the front of the quarter wheelhouse/rocker panel. The real interference is in the inner wheelhouse but you might not have a problem with a 9” wide tire.
