'87 Turbo Coupe new to the forum!

Well I'm new to this forum. Since I was 13 years old I saw the Turbo Coupe and have been in love with them since. I picked one up a couple of months ago. Just got Stinger 3" dual exhaust for it. It's pushing 18psi with Gillis boost valve and a K&N. Getting ready to buy some Weld draglites with 295/50/15, but not sure if they will stuff under the wheel wells.
No, It's not for sale.............Build your own!:nono:

I'll agree with the others in saying the car looks good with those basket weave type wheels. Otherwise, one member that successfully stuffed 295/50/15s under their fenders (cougar) was Blown306cougar. Check his old posts. He did use a mustang rear but otherwise he said the fenderwells would accomodate bigger tires than say a mustang. Oh, and welcome.

Thanks everyone for the comments! San Antonio and the wheels that were on there are Enkei 92's. It now has Weld Draglites 295/50/15 in the rear and fit perfect! No hammer needed! I like the new look.:tbirdbang:
