Tony,
What kind of gears and tranny are you running? I suggest a tire that will give you a total circumferance of 26.5 to 28 on a 350 SB. I would go with the smaller size for a smaller SB for performance. Do I know you from some where? ------------------ Gerardo 1983 Custom Truck TX Plates: "BAD BOW" http://www.geocities.com/abetterchemist/ |

hey Gerardo currently the gears are still the stock 2.73 eventually i will bump it up to 3.73 but i was thinking with a 4/6 drop maybe a 245/45/17 instead of the thicker 255/50/17 that came stock on the impalas..yes you do know me..before i knew there was message boards i emailed you about your digital guages a pretty good while back..great site by the way

The drop was 5.5/7 I think.
3" spindles/2.5" springs in the front, flip kit and 2" shackles out back. Tires were 255/45/ZR17. I thought the tires looked a little short, but sometimes the front rubbed on hard corners, but nothing too severe. Hope this helps
