New wheels came in!
« on: March 21, 2013 - 11:20:43 PM »
My new wheels came in for the car. 18x8 front w 4.5 backspace and 18x9.5 with 5.5" backspace on the rears. Here are some quick pictures.

Fronts



Rears




I may have to roll the rear fenders slightly just to be safe, but the 285's will fit nicely!

Nope, not yet. I am looking for one at the moment. I have a spare e body 8 3/4 but I really want to run the b body rear.

I want to get things moving forward on this car, but the money I have tied into my two 73's slows the progress. I really want to sell or trade those cars for parts.

Think I could get a B body rear and 4 speed setup for a rolling 73 body w title? Lol

I would think so! If I had the parts you wanted, Id go for that deal if the body was useable!
