If any of you guys are interested in buying my complete set-up, send me an e-mail. Look in my gallery for pics on how these bad boys fit nicely on an SPF.

The rear Trigos have been widened to 10.5" (new inner half using an automatic wheel welder...the best equip and done pro) and machined (to clear the caliper if you eliminate the 1/2" spacer on the Trigo adapter). The front Trigos are stock. All are five pin factory SPF. I have pics in my gallery of the bare rear rims after they were widened/machined.

Tires are MT ET Drag Radials. 255/60-15 on front and 325/50-15 on back. Tires have about 600-700 miles on them and have NEVER (God as my witness) experienced any form of burnout. I'd snap half-shafts otherwise. You can shoehorn a 325 on a stock 9.5" rim, but it will bulge the sidewalls and the tires won't "settle" as well. The extra inch makes a big difference. These tires grip like mad...no more wheel spin on hard 1-2 and 2-3 shifts.

I have a complete set of new Trigos that I want to mount Goodyear Billboards on. So something has to go (I really do love my wife...I really do!) and I've decided to see what I can get for the rolling stock on the car at the moment.
