New wheel test fitting - All Four On!
« on: August 04, 2007 - 02:08:02 PM »
Waiting on tires that will be here Monday. Went with Nittos, 295/45/zr18s. It'll take some massaging im sure to get them in there, but i do like the 'stuffed' well look  :bigsmile: Wheels look lost in the wells without rubber, i may use some lowering blocks to compensate for the added lift the super stock springs give....if the tire clearance is there  :grinyes:

well?  :clueless: :popcorn: :cheers:

How wide is the rim and BS?

Nice wheels. It's hard for me to visualize what it'll look like with rubber. Guess I'll just have to wait till you post some more pictures. :2thumbs:

Are those rims similar to the ones on the '72 Challenger your father owns?  They look really close in the photos, but I know they used larger rims on the car when it was on the show. (Or so I thought)

This isn't a shot at your dads car at all, but I like your wheels better than his.  As said before its hard to visualize what its gonna look like with rubber, but so far your wheels look more "muscle car-ish" than your dads.  I just never have grown to like the "rubber band slapped onto a wagon wheel" look thats big these days.  I like a little meat with my taters if ya know what I mean.  I think they'll look good matched up with the yellow of your car.
