You can go as wide as a 315 or 325 on a 10.5" rim without any issues.

Yeah. That's the widest you can go on those width rims.

What SPL parts did you use for the rear? I am only lacking the Traction Arms and the solid bushings. Did you replace all the bushings on the rear spindle?

I replaced almost everything. The only thing I didn't replace is the mid links. I will replace them once I decide on which coilovers I go with. Because of the width of the 345's. I don't have too much clearance at the top of the inner tire and shock. Depends if I can run a true coilover or not.

I did replace the all bushings on the rear knuckle.

Here's my thread on the install.

I searched for that thread and couldn't find it. Thanks for the link. Go figure.

How does it ride? Is it noisey? I am looking at finishing off my SPL catalog.

The noise is about the same. The suspension moves easier. The ride feels more complainant, and tighter. No longer feel movement in a corner. Make sure you get everything tight, or you will have a squeak.

I have it all now that I went with true type cool overs. It squeaks less without the spring buckets. It is going to squeak some because metal on metal and....because racecar!

I have some rattle with the SPL Midlinks. The Aragosta shocks are too long. I am 1/4in. away of getting 1/2in. of preload in the rear. So on a bumpy road I have some spring rattle at slow speeds. Oops, kinda like squeeky brakes. I don't give a rip. LOL
