I wonder how he got those 315 rear tires not to stick out? I love the looks of those wide tires - I might have to do that to my '94.

Its not hard to fit a 315 on a 94-98. I run 315's on my car. It just takes a 10.5-11" wheel with around 6.75-6.9" of back spacing.

How do you like your 315's? Any problems with them or change in tracking of the car? Ever get caught in the rain?

I love them. They look like they were made for the car and really fill the wheel wells nicely. They didn't change the tracking of the car at all, even in ruts created by heavy trucks in pavement. I've had it in the rain more than I would have liked to, and as long as the water doesn't have any real depth to it they are fine, these nitto DR's actually hook very well in the rain.

Yes, this car has been around for awhile. He ran 10's on a 18" drag radial.
Baseline Suspension......

Did you run your car with your new set up yet? Mine works fine for the amount of power I have (now).

Did you have to narrow your rear end or run a spacer? I assume not based on your prior post. What about your speedometer - Did you have to change the drive/driven gear? Did they improve traction/handling much? I will probably paint my car before I buy new wheels, but would like to find out as much as I can for planning. Thanks.

There are no modifications necessary if you get the right back spacing. If you run the replica wheels which typically have a 6.9" BS you may have to flip your quad shocks, but I went with 6.75" since my wheels were custom made and I didn't even have to flip the quad shocks. All I did was bolt them on and go, no other mods were necessary. My speedometer is correct (I had to change the speedo gears due to my rear gears, not the tire), but the tire height in nearly identical to stock. I have a 315-35-17 tire which has about the same diameter as the 245-45-17's that they replaced. They improved traction tremendously. With my old 302 combo I could go full throttle in every gear including 1st, with a 245-50-16 nitto DR I couldn't do that. Now with the 331 it will spin 80% of the time in 1st, but it still hooks in 2nd90% of the time. With the old 302 combo I cut high 1.6 60's on the 315's at the track. The car handles exceptionally well for the suspension mods I have and I attribute a lot of that to the tires.

Off Topic - Paul....what ever came of the hard top?

[Killercanary]

I still have it, I just need to find the time and money to get it painted. I'm still unsure of what color to paint it. A buddy of mine is sending me two A pillar exterior pieces so that I can paint them black and put on the car in order to see what it looks like with a black top before i actually paint the stock pieces.

[SV1000s]

well whatever you decide to do, I'm sure it'll look awesome!

Thanks!

No, I never got the chance to run my car w/ the Baseline stuff except on the street. Im very excited to get her out in the spring.

Get that pinion angle dialed in and then hold the f$ck on
