What's with the giant balloon tires on the back? Are they for off-roading?

What size wheels and tires are on the back? That’s a huge sidewall on them. Looks like you’re ready for some drag racing with that setup.

If the car is used for drag racing, the look is right on. If not, it looks pretty bad.

With those tires on the back, you must have some serious HP under the hood. So....how much?

Occasional track use. Messing around on the street mostly. Currently the car makes just over 700. New build should be around 1000. Doing a 6.0 with F1r.

Spending all that money on the motor when removing the BSM's would have made it 10 times better for free...

Looks Like a good track setup.
For the street....way too much tire shine required.

It looks like you went wheel shopping for the front wheels first. Then later when you could afford rear wheels, you couldn't find a match. So you said "aw f&*k it, this is close enough".........

It is about as good as 15" drag wheels are going to look.
