Those look like the Cragar Soft 8's. You can get them at Summit Racing.

The cost of tires is just going to vary with brand, size, and where you get them.

Welcome.

Is it just me or is the back tire thicker than the front one? It is late so it could just be me...

Where are you wanting to head with it? More of a better visual presentation? Or better performance?

Take a look at the "Builds" section. You should be able to find some ideas in there.

I don't think it's just you, I'm noticing the same thing with the tires. It also looks like it's lifted at least 2 inches. Could just be me though
