These are the 295's on 10x15 with a 4.5 backspace, they fit very nice with the extra wide A9X flares i just need to raise the suspension a bit.

Just noticed in the first pic they are Avenger G/T not S/R

Not sure what brand name. Shit I didn't even look at that. Just had a quick fit up to see how the tyres looked on the rim.They were for another guy so they ordered me another 2. I Rang shit loads of tyre places & not even half of them could help me let alone call me back. So much for customer service :banghead:  :thebird:  :shoot:  :furious:

Can't complain about the service if they have got any!

Well when you ring up for a price on a set of tyres & they say they will ring me back with a price & never do. To me that's not good customer service. :sucker:  :driving:  :nopity:

Hey Mort they do look similar to them. Shit they fill out your guards & a bit more nice. Have you changed the track of the car at all. That's my drama I have ? :nada:  :mellow:

No, standard diff, rims are 4.5" backspace, the flares are the extra wide A9X ones from Gunar. Can't remember the full name of his business just know it has Composite in it.

Hang on go back to the rear again !!

 

Looks like you  have cut the ears off and welded the torana brackets onto the housing .

Did you do this or get someone else?

No mate the 10 bolt is out of a 1 tonner. Yes I have cut the ears of & I have to grind it all back yet. All the work I have done myself in my shed. The diff was cut down & I had to get new axels from QPAC. I wanted it so all the wheels that I made stay under the guards. :driving:

I have trimmed of the back fin on the fire wall to allow room for the dizzy clearance on my big block ( 454 stroked to 496 ). I am going to run it in my HB at the drags so I can have it all sorted out for when the time comes to put it in the LH :driving:  :shoot:
