E-Body Tire Combos

[Lotsapins]

New wheels and tires on now. Also changed to 780-781 torsion bars (440 & Hemi).  Front end is stiffer now also.Got it re-aligned. Here is the new specs.
LF Camber -0.5*
RF Camber -0.7*
LF Caster 2.6*
RF Caster 2.3*
LF Toe 0.17*
RF Toe 0.16*
Total Toe 0.33*

It does drive better and after the torsion bars were changed, my specs were a mile off. They didn't charge me again
although they could have since I had altered the height and changed the torsion bars.
I will drive it some more this weekend, but I think it's good.

Looks great!
Is that 0.33" of toe or degree's? If it's in inches that's way off ( too much)

Degree's....Not sure what that is in inches, but he said it was dead on..

What are you running for suspension and brakes up front? Any rubbing on the frame at full lock?

Front suspension is the 1" torsion bars and factory disk brakes. Wheels clear everything. The rear of the tire would hit the frame if it was any taller. It just misses by 1/2 when turned fully.u

Here is a better picture that shows the difference in wheel sizes front and back....

Got it! I noticed that's a pretty short tire, but I still would have thought that amount of backspace would have been too much. Good to know!

Can't remember if I ever posted regarding my wheel/tire set-up. Anyway, here it is. Rears = 15x10 (5.5" BS) with 315/60-15 BFG Comp T/A Drag Radials.  Fronts = 15x7 (3.5" BS) with 215/70-15 BFG Radial T/As.  Very happy with the AR500 wheels and the new look.  1,000 times better looking than the Weld Racing Pro Star wheels the prior owner opted for.

Those are some fatties! Are you running a spring reloc kit?

Is there a post of your full engine build/specs? Those are very impressive numbers for your small block.

Yes. Previous owner did a mini-tub, leaf spring relocation kit, and used an A-body 8.75 diff. LOT'S more room for the larger wheels/tires. Engine was custom built by Carlos Gomez @ Submission Engines ( http://submissionengines.com ). Don't know all the internals, but I believe he installed a custom cam. This guy knows his Mopar engine s#*t! Attached is a photo of the clearance of the set-up for the rear.

I took a chance because that was all that was available in that wheel, other than doing a custom backspace. It looks good with the smaller front tire.
