Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
Haha, couldn't wait! Don't worry - their time is short lived. I think I'm going to get staggered 18s and 17s to give the car some rake
You want to keep the front and rear tires close to the same diameter otherwise the ABS has a cuniption.

Innnnteresting. Lets say I run a 295/35/18 on the rear and a 275/40/17 on the front - think I'll be close enough?
Btw, your car was built on Will's 7th Bday... lol
Cool Lol.
The rears would be almost 1/2" taller which I think is borderline for the ABS but I'm no expert.
Also remember your speedo will be off aswell if the tires are well over 25.6".

will that even fit? or are you planning to do some BFH work?
I will not BFH my car... let's get that straight right now
I may run a 285, still reading about people setups and what was required. It sounds like anything over a 300 series tire requires the BFH mod as far as I can tell so far. I did get the adjustable PHB so I can make sure the rear is perfectly centered and no BFH'ing will need to be done. If I do run a 285, I think I can safely mount it to a 9.5 wheel. Only problem with that, is I lose the DEEP dish... back to reading on tech (it's painful, really it is)
