Why would you have to cut the fenders? He is just looking to go in a straight line. He could have 20" wide wheels on there if he wanted. He just couldn't turn the wheel.

lol whats he gona do when he needs to turn around at the end of the strip? haha im just saying that u would need some wicked offset to run 10" wheels and fenders would def be a prob for turning. btw loosh found out pretty quick what drag radials can do to the stock clutch.

thats how you die. slicks expand at speed and if they are sticking out past the fenders and you have to brake or boost cut going over 100, your fender is cutting right through the tires in a split second....which result in you bouncing off the wall

I have the V6 mustang wheels and from what Ive read is that 26x9.5x16 is the biggest you could go.So Im thinking 10" is a hair to wide...

well the honda guys have been doing it for QUITE some time, your going a little overboard with your scare tactics....the JOJO front end and the CFT front end for the spfwd hondas are NEW what about back in the day when people were 26x10x15 up front with cut fenders or the front of the car raised up and suspension limited along with the rear, theres more things I personally would do than just bolt slicks on whats the point in that....
