New wheels look awesome. This car is going to be so fun!

Hey bud, those tires are not for highway use. I just wanted to make sure you were aware

I thought I heard you were legal as long as you were in reverse?

Haven’t had much time to work on the car, but almost done with the new wheel setup. Got the an95 a arms installed and I think it pushed the wheels out nicely. Got driver side rear wheel/studs done just have to do passenger rear. Will get better pics once other wheel is on and get the car back on the ground

It's funny how just the addition of 2 lines running the circumference will make them legal for on the highway.
These are the bias-ply ones too; which are pretty much a slick with a few lines cut into them. Even the compound is the same.

doesn't it say right on the side of the first pic on the left "not for highway use"? or was that a different tire on the rim?

Scott - Yes the ET Street Radial Pro's that he has does say not for highway use. But the ET Street R bias plies that I have do not have that writing on them anywhere.

Yeah the Pro’s are not DOT approved, the street r’s should be perfectly fine

I have Mt Pros that say DOT right on them?

Ive been hearing rumors they were no longer going to be DOT approved for awhile now so when you said that I was like uh oh...., I know alot of guys who runs these in the street car class at the track and if it loses the DOT approval we are all screwed. lol

Looks great man. Been following your posts about the studs on FB. Did you ever figure out a way to get the ARP studs in there without pulling the axles, or did you just pull the axles?

Thanks man! Didn’t have to pull axles. Just had to remove the dust shield and grind a notch in the head of the stud and install the stud at bottom of axle and it slides past the abs ring. Just got 3” studs for the front so that will be next
