I have the stock 17" Bullitts. Im looking into a DR tire but tire shops around here have a hard tire getting them, then charge and arm and a leg for them. As far has headers go, Im not too sure. How hard are LTs to install? Are they well worth the money and effort over shortys?

big time worth the effort and money way better horse power gains espically with our cars like the engine we have, they are a bit much to install ill start a thread with pics of the install on here so you can see you have to take the whole K member out. it's the easiest and fastest way to do it. but is hard took us about 8 hrs to install, mid pipe included, as for your tires check online you might be able to find some cheap from the states and if you order soon might have for spring, tirerack.com is not bad.

ok thanks. Will shp around for tires, what size would you recomend?

BLWN281

bigger the better but it all depends on the width of your rim wider rims can hold wider tires i have 10" rims and even putting 305's on are a pain and risky im prolly safer with 295 but i know 305 will fit

MustangMan02

I think the stockers are 7 wide? I know 275s will fit so I may go with that

BLWN281

when i bought my rims they had 275's all around and looked great id say go with that on the rear if you can fit it doesn't nessarly need to be that on the front but if you did it would make it easier for tire rotations

MustangMan02

Yeah I would probably just put the 275s on the back for now, and keep the 245s on the front since they are pretty much brand new

BLWN281

That would be your smartest bet i would think

MustangMan02

yeah, then when the 245s go bald then i can go wider. lol.

BLWN281

dont really need to be too much wider in the front im putting on 275's on the front and 305's on the rear to give it that offset and it looks good for ride hieght plus any bigger in the front and im sure it would rub
