My car actually was canted to one side by a 1/4" the whole entire time that I have owned her. Maybe that's why now since she is level all around, I have a smoother ride

If on an 11" rear, the 295s will be a bit stretched, as they're just a tad too narrow.
No I have 10" wide rear wheels and 8.5" wide fronts with a 25mm offset, is that bad?

Dude, I feel real bad about your situation with the prosthesis and all considering that I came out of both theaters of war with only minor injuries. I salute you bro just for the mere fact that you don't feel sorry for yourself and your holding your head high above ground level. Hit me up if there is anything that I can do for you, I mean it, whether it be logistically or plain old companionship. "Ranger's Lead The Way"!

Here are some pics from the drag strip yesterday just click on the link to see the other pics. The launch pic shows my front end a tad bit high, but she rides lower than that. As for the ride quality goes, well it's smooth and no rubbing at all, but when I run over a speed bump or pothole I really feel it!!! I have posted my drag slip in another thread named "Low 12's in the 1/4 at the Drag Strip".
