The other day I parked next to a 70 sport satellite.Lime green with Prowler 20's on the back and some 18" foose jobs up front

I would have liked to have seen that. I think I have found a pair of 17" Prowlers but I am going to have to buy the whole set to get them. I do not want to hack up the back half of my car for 20's.

Well, there are 4 different variations of the conquest wheel.

from an archived email I saved last year:

From the Conquest FSM

7" frt 18mm offset 4.70" BS?
8" frt 18mm offset 5.20" BS?

8" rr -10mm offset 4.125" BS
9" rr zero offset or 4.5" BS


the author had the FSM.  He was positive on the 9" rear BS and I have a pair of 8" rear, and I just measured the backspace (in the rain, that's dedication!!!)

You will need to open the center register to fit the mopar hub, and the front dust covers will protrude through the center caps (hmm, aftermarket billet Al center caps??) so you'll likely not need those.

There's a red 71 Chally on the west coast with 4 16x8s on his AutoX/Track car.  Sorry, I don't have pics of his car at the moment.  Also, my car isn't here yet so I can't mock 'em up for ya, either.

with the large backspace on these I have rethought the whole Prowler wheel on an Ebody project. Looks like someone else has pulled it off but the rear wheel sure seems like it is close to the fender and is quite offset from the front. Owner is selling the wheels and adapters on Ebay now. He claims with the adapters the wheels bolt right on to stock B and E body cars

And there it is.  Saw this car at a show in a small town in Michigan.  I think it took best of show too.   :bigsmile:

Mike, I saw that car on Ebay.  It looks goofy sitting on top of those 20s, without any of it going up inside the wheel well.  Just like those goofy 22s I see on chevys in the ghetto.   It's a good thing you saw that Cuda before you ended up selling your Prowler wheels on Ebay later too.   Bigger isn't always better.
