Man that looks like a tight fit, I am surprised it fit.

I wonder what the price is?

well, the 275/60/15 BFTA's will make sure it never gets a chance to twist... ::) Cripes, my s10 with about 150hp less is pretty useless without the DOT's on it, that's gotta be a LOT worse. Put it in a coupe with a 6 point and some 10.5x28 ET Streets and you'd have something worth playing with, but TA's? REALLY??? Honestly, I kinda fail to see the point, hellova lotta work just for drive-in cred. ::) with those tires on it, some guy with a lightly modded LS Camaro and and some Proxes TQ's is gonna make you look like a fool.
