''' I do it just fine, I laugh at most of the cars like mr. 24, in FL they have the same size wheels, but they pull it off so much better, they have 2s, 4s, 6s, and in some cases 28s sittin stock height, my personal cutoff for any non truck I'll ever own is 24" and they HAVE to be staggered and sittin low. and why do people act like just cuz a car has big rims it can't be fast? Many of the more well done cars have built motors that would surprise lots of people. Handling is diff story lol, I'll give yall that one

psychics says it can't be fast. Bigger diameter wheels always cause a significant loss of acceleration. But they will be fast on the top end. The losers around here don't have fast cars.

um no. Sorry but those 307's ****. I know because I have one. They have torque but that's it. Those engines are not high performance. Not even the vin 9's that are found in the 442/hurst editions. I'd much rather have a 455/turbo 400 combo in my car.

lol Right

I couldn't get my car to turn those 24's without having wet tires. Those engines have torque but no way in hell will it turn a single 24 let alone two. Those cars were also open differentials meaning you could only spin one tire at a time. Trust me bro, I own one.

Nobody said impossible but unless there is a new engine or a high horsepower engine, its not going to happen until the car gets going. I'd hate to be doing 100 in my car with 28" rims and having to stop.....IF they are fast, they can't stop worth a shit.

that why many people I've seen with gbodies do motor swaps to something with oomph
