...small update...
I've recieved a bunch of odds and ends including the Trick Stage4 Hotside(looks great!),and the Static flip kit.
Was going to get started on it till i realized the trans is slipping!
Surprise Surprise!
Turns out when the previous owner said he had "done" last year,it meant it was replaced with a used one!
I had hoped to get by on the 4L65E on low boost for this year...
So i'll have to address that before throwing the turbo at it.
Going to lower it next

Default Dropped...

...thanks to my buddy Scott,we got the flip kit,Belltech spindles and struts in.
While on the lift we removed the front sway bar,cat back,helper/overload leafs and blocks,trailer hitch and spare tire/hanger.
I think i officially bought the roughest example of a NNBS i could lol!Oh well.

So i did some trial fitting now that the diff has been flipped.
D10 15x11.5" 7.5" back spacing
Hoosier 315/60 Drag Radial
3/4" space between the tire and inner fender,tire bulge sticks out a bit.
Though it fits quite well,i think i would prefer the slightly taller,slightly narrower 295/65 M/T Drag radial
Gonna fill out Bogarts fitment sheet for the fronts next.
I don't see how guys are running skinny 15"s on the front(though i'd like to!) but i'm not grinding on the calipers,so it may be 17" fronts,we'll see.

So i did a bunch of measuring at the front brakes to figure out skinnies with Bogart.
I'd love to get them ordered up but haven't been able to reach Rich...
I am still hoping to do a 15".
Looks like i'm going to have to wait till fall to get on the turbo install and trans. rebuild.I'll find storage for my Z06 to free up the garage and get on it!

Spoke to Rich at Bogart yesterday.
So with a drop spindle and unmodified stock brakes here's what we decided on;
D10 street/strip, welded,17x4.750".(for anyone looking to do similar skinnies on a NNBS)
Looking forward to seeing them in a few weeks.
