That is the first time I have seen a video of a car with 315/35's. I just ordered mine today. Nitto 555NT's, the same exact sizes as yours. I have been sweating the fitment since I got my wheels. What is the BS on your wheels?

Oh yeah welcome.

You've sure done a lot of work to your '72! Sounds pretty well built!

Is that your residence? The land looks awesome. I would love to be alone like that. No telling what I would build to drive around the property. What ever it would be it would be loud.
