theses rims just don't fit, the camber will change, the rear axle is longer, that means more leverage. the whole geometry of the squat will change, if you want the best traction, a new alignment will be needed, also there is sand every where. the south doesn't have graded roads or little rocks or even bottle caps in the road, OK only the guys south of the mason dixon line can buy these
in a 9.5 rim i wouldn't recommend any less then 65mm on the back, if your car is fast and hooks really well it could crack the rear 1/4 panels, there are many suppliers that make the right off sets just more money, and if your going to run your car slow so nothing happens why even buy them

Well for the time being this is what he has to offer. I personally like them. And as far as hooking, it hooks better now... and I believe im making a good bit of hp 500 rwhp n/a. And 650 on the juice... and I'ts hooked hard in first on a few occasions since the swap and no rubbing.. but as I said I have coilovers and I can adjust my setup. I wouldn't recommend these for stock suspension, due to the possibility of the cracked fender. But thanks for your 2cents...
what was your 60 ft NA and spray

Well I just got the nitrous on and tuned. Taking it to the track this weekend. But im not running the rear wheels at the track anyway. I've got a set of repels with et bias plys on them for the track. I know they aren't quite as light but I bought these racestars for my street setup . But I will b running the skinnies at the track. I cut a 1.51 the last time at the track btw. N/a

Well I would run it at the track with those wheels and not be scared one bit. I would adjust ride height and stiffness. And damn a 1.41 is badass. I coulda went in the low 1.4s but didn't wanna launch any harder. Scared of breaking the rear lol

You know I did this just yesterday ad I didn't take any pics!!! But as I said the fronts are perfect, like they were made for the z front. The rears are about an inch farther in than where his street tires sat. Like I said, you wouldn't wanna run around town with the rears on but they'd b great for the track, and would def not rub on the launch
