so maybe 3- 4 inches wide should work?

For ten extra bucks the rs3 is a better track tire. If you have to drive daily on them there going to wear fast. Not sure about the overall wear on the 05's

Dude...I would go 275 or 285 in the rears with 10.5" rims.

I have 18x9.5's on all 4 corners....If you have 10.5's on the rears and only go 265 for width...you might have some stretch on the back sets.

Talk to Jake or some others about the sizes.

Sorry dude, I am not going to have enough left over to be worth getting it to you. I am going to keep some back just in case I need to replace some numbers.

Call around to some local sign stores if you just want blank stock. Should find some for around 3.50 to 4.00 a square foot.

Hey Chris (350) if you want to go in together on some at the same place as Scott I'm down. I can pick some up Friday and just get the $35 minimum - sould be plenty. So just shy of $20 each should do it. I only need to make 6 #s. A pair of 2-3-4 will do everything I want.

I'm in FloMo. Let me know.

With the $35 purchase minimum rule, Scott got 24"x60" for under $40. So, if you divide that by half, it'd be 24"x30" for $20? That sounds like it's more than enough for two.

How would one go about cutting these magnetic sheets anyway (neatly)?

I'm in McKinney.

The sheet itself cuts pretty easy with a nice new razor blade/box knife. I changed the blades out after every couple of numbers.

I made patterns using excel and stretching the number onto multiple pages to get the size of number I wanted. Mine are 10 inches high. Print and then cut your numbers out, tape the paper pieces together and get busy.

Good luck!

I am still unsure at the moment about my attendance on the 28th. If I'm still in TX, you can bet I will be there.

X-acto is definitely the only way to fly, and keeping a fresh blade makes it less painful. A little cutting board like this is also nice, otherwise find a table you don't care anything about



They also make for a festive refrigerator decoration
