  • that rim won't come close to fitting without mini tubbing the rear, no need to have that kinda tire unless its an X275 car and even then it could be overkill.
    Doing less with more

    • I wanna see what my 275's are going to look like on the 10" wheel. If they look good then maybe I'll order some different 15x10's later this year with a smooth lip.

      • that 28" is going to take a bit of work to fit in the wheel well - just preparing you

        • BFH'ing or cutting a bit of the bumper?

            both. I had to trim the back inner bumper. I had to cut part of the front wheel well (very slightly) and cut the bumpstop mounts clean off. I really benefitted from adjustable LCA's as well

            • I bought adjustable lca's

              Not too worried about cutting things either, more about how to make them look clean still. I'm thinking about doing the heater hose mod along with the taller tires as well.

                its going to look fine. you cant even tell the area that gets cut with the wheel on. 28" tire is a great mod for these cars and really fills up the wheel well nicely. (I have the heater hose mod done as well, no issues with that and the taller tire FYI)

                  • Well I've gotten set back most of the day. This morning had to go out and clean the garage, get all of the garbage moved out of the way. Dad had his Corolla parked in there with the buell, lawnmower, snowblower, and quad. Now, the battery for the 67 doesn't have enough of a charge to fire it up. Awesome.

                    On a more positive note, tires were mounted and balanced today, also got a pilot bushing for $1.62

                          Speed bleed line. The LS1 T56 uses a slave with a bleeder that sticks out the side of the bellhousing. I bought a speed bleed line with a valve in it so I can do it solo...ran out of DOT4 today though.

                            ok, but how are you opening and closing the bleeder screw on the side of the bell housing? I can't get a wrench in there and using a socket sucks because there's zero room to get your finger in there to flip the direction lever back and fourth.

                              You can use a short socket on a 1/4" swivelhead ratchet. It's a PITA though. Speed bleed line is like 3ft. long so I'm actually opening/closing it at the trans crossmember.

                                Sorry Vinnie, I'm not too familiar with speed bleeders I guess. Can you install such a device with the trans already installed?
