pics of my plum crazy 73 chally with new rims
« on: July 15, 2009 - 02:18:55 PM »
Just got my new rims delivered today.  Got them from newstalgia wheels and they fit great.  They are Foose Legends, 18's in the rear and 17's up front.  Wish it sat down a little lower on them.   Guess I'll have to work on that.

LOOKS GREAT!!

Doesn't have to sit lower, it looks great right where it is.

To each his own, but I like to see the full tire. I don't think the car needs lowered either.   :2cents:

Personally I would drop the front a bit with the torsion bars.  It does look nice, though  :2thumbs:

Thanks, guys, I wanted it a bit lower in the front but the suspension bushings need trimming to go lower and not bottom out all the time.  I still have good ground clearance over speed bumps etc.
