Finally, flush with the body - Pics

I finally was able to get the rear tire setup to set basically flush with the body line of the car using a 315/30/18 BFG drag radial. Tried a few different ride heights to see if I could gain any clearance to move the rim closer in on the body. Ended up with a great compromise, car still has an aggresive stance, suspension has alot more travel now and body lines are almost spot on. Now when you launch on it hard you can feel the *** sink to make the BFG work

Sorry, pics are a little dark (camera phone)

wondering what type of springs you are runin, looks like if you hit a large bump you would possibly rub on the top of the tire?
im looking for new springs in the rear but dont want to have the angle and ride stance to much different by having to jck the rear end up.

Never had the car hit the tire, coilovers front & rear (HAL 12 way) with the linear rate springs from HAL. I was just out last night for a minute or two testing how the car transferred weight on a street start and I did not find any marks on the fender from the tire.
