Looks damn good, how do they fit

Who did the widening for you?

 

[evasive]

Looks like WeldCraft.

Wheels look great - do you have a full shot of the tread? Mine are still sitting in the garage waiting for the same tires to go on.

Mike - I had not seen those tires mounted on a 11.5" before, only on 11.75" Alcoa's.

IMO they appear to fit well!

The widening work looks nice also.

same setup I run. wheels were done by Ericvaugnmachine.com in CA. Its a close fit but haven't had any rubbing issues and I don't run any spacers. If I win the lotto I'll pick up a set of the Dunlop 325/30s. 11.5" is the recommended rim width for the Dunlops. I have no intentions of trying to squeeze in 335/30s so the 11.75" rim wasn't needed

Did you cut the shock boot or trim the bump stop ?


Mike

 

[2nd2none]

actually, yeah i did. I did those mods when I tried to run 345/35-18s MT ET streets on old 11" widened stockers like a couple others have on here. Even with 1/4" spacers I rubbed with those wheels/tires. I'm not sure if the shock boot and bump stop mods are needed with my Alcoa setup. I'm also lowered with the Ford Racing FR3 suspension package

Is anyone running 285/30/20 R888 up front?

Is anyone running 285/30/20 R888 up front?

I've tried to find someone also, who has test fitted the 285/30 on the front. I would like to know first of all how well it fits on the 10" Alcoa? and then how close it is to the strut w/o CC plates?

Since the 275/35 on a 10" Alcoa is pretty close (but fits very well) to the strut on these cars, it may require a slight inward movement of the strut with CC's to get that 285 in place?

275/35-20 Nitto Invo on 20x9 Alcoa in front
315/30-20 Toyo R888 on widened 20x11.5 Alcoa in back
Ford Racing FR3 suspension
Should've taken a picture from the back too but didn't think about it till now :bash:

How is the traction nowwith the r888?? Have you been to the track with them?

Mike

 

[wheelin]

fit with ZERO mods

 

[dirtyo2000]

I think the R888 is a lot of tire for the front. I though about it but couldn't justify the money for them. Work great on the rear though.
