LOL I have 275s on my modded limited and still have traction issues when I push it, and am going to 295s. I can only imagine what OEM size hankooks are doing to you in a 6, wiat till it gets heavily modded... Time to upgrade

Stock ride height...........the 305/35 18s have a bigger OD than stock tires which fill in the wheel gap perfectly for that nice meaty look.

Here's a few my buddy Joshie took of the 6

Great shots of your car Mike, and of your Friends SUV.
I know you have it posted somewhere, but how wide are your rear wheels?
I had 285/30's on my stock wheels last summer, and when I had the wheels off I noticed where they had rubbed the inner fender just a little bit.

rear rims are 18x10............and I have custom made spacers and did some extra rolling of the 1/4's to make them fit flush and clear.

Lots of effort, little expense................there's a guy on here that took my design and is selling it as his own if you want to buy one that looks exactly like mine.

Mike I was interested in how you did it as I am kind of a do it your selfer and wanted to know if it is a modified stock steel hood or a fiberglass repop? Either way it looks great and I wanted to know the process to get the result. I have done lots of body, paint and mechanical work but not much with fiberglass and such. I saw the thread for the knock off fiber and carbon hoods being sold but didn't see a price. pm me if you have some good info.
Thanks

Thanks MikeR looks like a summer time project....if I tackle it. I did however solve my traction issues I hope with the Perelli p Zero tires I am currently testing (305x30x19) seem to hold better and are 100% better on the straight takeoff on the line.
