Okay after I get my Exhaust (Gibson duals) Im going to save of for the
Limited slip rear, but I was wondering what size tire on the back should I
get? Will these fit the stock wheels? What name brand tire do you
recomend? After that should I get 3.9 gears or 3.5? What about traction
bars? This would be very helpfull.
