I have some knock off 17" steida mustang rims that I am putting 26x11.5 ET Streets on for the strip... I am more trying to find something that will work for street driving / highway kick downs. I will keep everyone posted on what I end up doing...
Hey at least those KDWs make a lotta smoke!!! lol

I think alot of the issue isn't necessarily related to the tire size so much as the wheel offset. Even with rolled / cut fenders, a crazy offset can render camber adjustments null and void. I think that's where jkenefic is at with his setup...

I told you Jeff that those GTS wheels with the aggressive offsets wouldn't work. 
If you're interested down the road, my bodyshop is doing some fender flaring on a Z from Alaska... I will post pics when they get the car and are finished....

Joe-I run +22 so slightly more tucked in than you, amazing the difference it makes.

Besides, florida sucks for corners.
And yeah, my wheels are sitting at about +19 with the spacers. The 285 bfg's were a no-go. I didn't really mind going back to 275's as they hooked up much better than my 285 falkens anyway.

This means the outer rim of the wheel will be sunken in 6-7mm more than the lip on the same offset 10.5" wheel.
10" wheel with a +28 offset and a 10mm spacer will put the outer lip at about the equivalent of a +25 10.5" volk wheel.

I'm having the fenders cut. And my wheel is 10'' wide. So I think, based on both of you two's comments, that 10mm spacer and 285 would really set it off for what I'm looking for. I'm just really want to pull the wheel out in the front for it's 9'' wide with 30 offset. So I figured 10mm all the way around would look great.

Thanks! I have been trying to take this thing to the track, but Nascar is in Indy this week so the track is closed! And the weather has been crapy all week, so the other track was rained out.
I plan to get video of that burn out and hopefully a fast time!
