So silly q- are you going to go with the Nitto Redlines?

I will be going the same route, let me know how it goes.

I just happen to be a bit farther away from that than you.

I wish, they dont make nitto redlines that big 

Got the Nittos. they shoulddd sqeak in there without too much trouble... They'll be mounted/balanced tomorrow if all goes to plan.

Axle is about centered here with the s/s springs





If i could only get away with lowering it  Need to borrow my ol mans airride

C'mon, you're killing me. First pictures of wheels on the car with no tires. Then, tires with no wheels.     I still can't visualize it.

Nice choice man. Those are going to look amazing.

Also, aren't your dad's wheels 18s and 20s? Everywhere online that sells Foose wheels shows that wheel not being available in 19". I'm looking for a 19/20 setup.

[GoodysGotaCuda]

I need 7/16s worth of spacer. Ill go with longer studs as well so the lugs get full thread engagement. Other than that, they will fit like a dream! 




This is stock ride height, well with my s/s springs. I'll probably try and lower it down some, i have the room to play.

That looks good!

G-man, keep in mind that the darker color makes the wheel look a bit smaller visually. If it's 18" and chrome (especially on a dark colored car) they'll stand out much more.

Hi

that car looks good with those sized wheels... N I personally hated 18" wheels, (muscle cars should use 15), dont know what you done with yours, but it seems to work (+ car can be made to handle better with the 18's then the 15's)

Maybe its the angle im looking at it from... do you think you could possibly get  picture of it side on (with whole car in the photo) So I got an idea how it "really" looks on the car, so that I can decide what wheels to get.

I got information back on making the car handle, they said I gotta run an 18" wheel minimum becasue of the 14" breaks etc etc (the way the suspension is designed and everything else) but I want to keep a good look, which means 15 from everything I know.

So a pic like that will help me out to decide

Thanks

I will as soon as i get the wheels more 'secure' I rather not move it at the moment. I have washers for spacers and the lug nuts have about two turns on them. So it's not goin anywhere like that lol. My front wheels are on backorder from summit, so only the rears are 18s right now. Usually 17 or 18 would be 'performance' orientated these days. anything bigger is excessive weight imo for all around tracks. ill post more pics as it progresses

I think it looks better because you still have a good amount of side wall showing.

Lookin' good Goody.....       You know I like those wheelwells full of tire....lol

Doesn't look like stretched out rubber bands.

Nice call on the size Mike.. Looks great!!

Are you just going with racing wheelstuds (1/2 inch 20 X 3 inch) and open lugnuts or some other plan?

Actually i should be able to run the same lug nuts i have now i hoping since the width of the flange is huge on these things. we'll see!
