I installed them, had to trim the heck out of the body so it fit, but I was so excited!

Car looks bad as HELL!

I am wondering, I heard you need a front one way. What is going to happen when I try to run these tires on the stock car, because I just got to try it!

Thanks,

Rick

I suppose if you never had a pair of serpant wheels in your hand you would not know. But, serpant whees are LARGER DIAMETER in the back then in the front, thats my thought about the front one way,

Any opinions will help, any help??

I have a question which may have a Capitan obvious answer or not?

Why don't you true the tires to the same outside diameter front to rear, or will these serpent rims/tires not allow that?
