No pics, but the tires were about dead even with the edge of the fender lip. Didn't stick out, but if you took a steep driveway entry and a 45 degree angle, you'd probably rub the tires pretty bad.
Didn't 60ft any better than it did on street tires even though it would blow the tires off on normal rubber. But that was also before the tuner and I think the drive by wire prevents true WOT right out of the hole.

Welcome to the site Chuck! And thanks again for the loan of the tires.
I may need them for sure now. I feel I have found the problem with the hesitation I was experiencing. It's not the throttle plates. I'm pretty sure it's the Charge Motion Control Valve Plates (intake manifold runner control). I have changed my programming to open the plates full at launch. I feel sure the hesitation I was getting was resultant of those plates.
Just in case you don't know, Ford manufactured butterfly plates in the plenum runners, most likely for emissions. The factory setting for the plates to open was 2900 rpm. With this tight factory converter 2900 rpm was quite a while after launch.

You will have to relocate the swaybar mount and cut it shorter to clear a deep dich 15 inch rim. Other wise it's just a very tight fit......

for the pics we put 28X10.5 MT's on it. obviously that is WAY too much tire for a stock motor, so we have 26's on it now. the 28's fit in there AWESOME though. no rubbing or anything
