Finally got some tires for the Saleen SC wheels I bought from American Muscle. What do you guys think?

That looks great. What size are the tires front and rear? I always liked the rear wheels to be deeper. Mine are as well.

Slight rubbing in the front if I hit a bump too hard, but I agree. Thanks!

FYI to anyone who wants a 10 inch wide wheel in the rear, the Parking brake line in the right-rear will need to be tied down closer to the control arm. It will rub your wheel/tire and cause light damage/scratches and make a god awful noise. I used zip ties and trimmed them up, and my wheel clears the parking brake line by about an inch. Can't see the zip ties from the outside of the car either, so no one can tell your ride is rigged up :D

Your wheel/tire package looks great OP, it gives it a nice period correct 80's/90's vibe.
