Wheels/Tires (2) Mounted & Rear Suspension

Today I finished up the rear with the brackets needed. Turned out they were on the donor car, not in the kit. I put the new rear shocks on and finished mounted the last bolts/nuts. Now I just need to torque everything done to proper specs when on the ground with weight on the suspension.




The tires just came and they are enormous. The rears are 315/35/17's on a 17x11 wheel!



We had the front wheels mounted and balanced today but Good Year couldn't quite finish the rears because of the width so Ill have to bring them somewhere else.. The bead isn't seated all the way on the outside (it takes a lot of pressure and they didn't want to mess anything up).



With the wheels on the car..


The rears just barely touch the quad shocks but when the car is on the ground and everything shifts I think there will be room. If not, a shim/spacer will be needed.. The front just barely cleared the brakes with only millimeter's to spare.
