Looking for info on this modded Mark VIII

[LaserSVT]

I know you guys know this car and I believe the owner is a member here.
I remember he just reciently got in a mag and would like to know which so I can try and get it.

I know about the engine and the blower and all that but what I am curious about is whats his wheel/tire size combo and backspacing. Also if he had to roll the fenders and all that.
Thanks for the help guys.

295 in back but the wheel are built to fit the car, one off set made..some shop help him get the offset..

Excellent! Thanks guys.

I wanted to run 285/40/18 in the rear because I can get the Mustang take offs for relitivly cheap but looks like a 285/40 will be pushing a non custom wheel.

Guess 275/35/18 with 245/40/18 up front is what I am gonna try for. I was trying to keep the OD the same as stock but with the 275/35 the OD will be almost identical to the 245/50/16 I am running now.

At least with those sizes I can run BFG KDWs

Better have a deep wallet if you want to build a car like Mike's.... his wheels coast more than my whole car and all the mods I have done to it...

Oh yeah, his car is just beautiful and I cant hit that level.

My car will have a full suspension, exhaust and intake when I am done but no blower or hub swap for me.

I will get the Saleen replicas in the Mark pattern when he has them avaliable again in 19x9 with the 36mm offset. I will run 275/35 in the rear and 245/40 in the front in BFG KDWs or Nitto INVO. If I go INVO then I will prolly get 255/40 and 275/40 though. Depends on the price at the time of purchase.

On my suspension I only have two more braces to get, sway bars (still undecided if I want to change the front) and prolly will get the Vogland springs that will lower me .75"

I am ordering my exhaust Tuesday and then in two weeks get the rest of the pipes plus the install. I am going 2.5" mandrel bent from the cats back. The last mod will be the Kooks 3/4 headers and high flow cats.
