Default 3 peice front end with radials?

Anyone use their 3 peice fronts on the street?

If so, any pics or tire/rim combos that will fill that fender decent?

Heavy Duty: We have about 30 kits on the production schedule since beginning of the year at any given time. We only have 1 mold for each application. The capacity is 6 kits a week on the best conditions for each application. Not raining/wet conditions, no backorder on materials, etc. So our policy now is first order, first serve. First paid, first ship. If you're interested, put yours on order even if its just a verbal order and no payment. At least we put you on the list.

Ya Spoolin... You have to ask for the HO Edition. IF you dont, I WILL HAVE NO IDEA what you're talking about. LOL.

Seriously though, the tire and backspace combination is what makes the setup work well. The choice of tire from the width, tire height, tread design, and tread height is what makes it look right. Hobbs and Exospeed tried several tires and while others work just ok, it wasnt the perfect look that we particularly liked. Some brands just have either too round of a tread or deep tread patterns. While others have a flat/square sidewall that matched perfect with filling in the wheel well gaps.

So its not just a matter of backspace or offset, but also tire choice as well to pull it off right.
