I, too, would be curious here....my body man was hesitant to do so on my MGC
for fear of cracking he paint....but admitted that it is a trick that he has
used numerous times...BEFORE applying a final coat..
The differential has shifted on my C to the passenger side...I run 195R65x15"
on Minilytes...I can no longer read "Goodyear Eagle" on the passenger (right)
side.
Plus...my current project is a B/GT V8 ... I am REALLY curious as to the
maximum width/heighth for the rears (as well as the fronts) would be
...(Note...Due to my choice of differentials/brakes, I will be using a 15"
wheel on all four corners.)
Just remember...
IF YOU DRIVE IT, YOU WILL HAVE FUN!!!
Cheers...
