Stock for now, but that won't last. I'm still deciding on a full Cobra 8.8 setup, or sticking with a standard aftermarket like Kaaz or Carbonetic. Even the S4 rear swap would show some benefit. I will likely be running some good sticky street tires on a 315 so an upgrade will be in order. However, since it really will just be a street car, I have no plans of launching it hard in a drag setting.


What I really need with the added strength is lower gearing. The stock diff is geared pretty high for all that torque. I have been reading that a 3.70 is nice. I will be using a T56 Magnum so I will have some added flexibility there as well.

I currently run a 18x10.0 +43 (O Disk) on my Meisters. I will have them re-drummed to a 8x11.0 +30 (O Disk). This effectively keeps the placement the same, but pulls the outer lip out 1". I easily have 1" of room after having my finders rolled and smoothed. 


Below is a few pictures of my current fitment. As you can see, there is definitely room to grow. As far as putting a 315, it may be too close with the tire and I might have to to go with a 305 and a little stretch instead. I will definitely be doing much more measuring before I pull the trigger on anything, as this is just preliminary planning.


Thanks guys!
