Can you take a pic from the rear so we can see those massive tires? With 530 whp your gonna need them. Good luck on the fender cutting, can you take some pics of how your doing that, I have to do that for my wheels soon, Id like to see how you do it, and maybe I can do it myself. BTW what are your rear wheel offsets?

Also, can you give us your wheel specs and how much clearance you have between the shock and tire? Thanks for the info.

So you used like a dremel? Can you elaborate on how you did your fenders? If you could take a pic of the finished product that would be nice to see. Also did you paint the edges of the inside of the fender so they wouldnt rust?

Can you get pics of the width of the tire from the back of your car? Can't really say much about it from the side

Oh god, someone needs to hit the drag strip. I can't imagine the times you'll be hittin with that kind of power and traction. Very nice work, post up more pics so we have more to drool over.

one word (or actually 2): UPGRADED AXLES!!!

You're going to snap them w/o a doubt the first time you go to the strip if you don't spend the ~$600 for the HD ones...

here is a pic of the rear end so you can see how wide the tires are and a pic of the finished fenders. no i didnt use a dremel i used a die grinder that you hook up to a air compressor. but a dremel would work. i did paint the edges but did not use paint. i used a truck liner that you spray on truck beds

Thank you very much for posting pics of the fenders cut. You have motivated me to do these on my own. How long did it take you to do? Do you run the die grinder at low or high speed? TIA, tires look great Good luck @ the strip.

you want to run the die grinder at the highest speed so you get the cleanest cut. it only took me like 20 minutes on each side to cut it . it was very easy.
