Thanks all for the comments. All I need now is a little body work and a posi diff to make it perfect.
Combo looks great on the car. I think it really retains the factory feel allowing wider tires. Could you provide measurements of ground to the wheelwell? I know my back might be sitting low. BTW, my car has the same color and black vinyl top as yours but with factory rallye stripes. Thanks for sharing.
I'll get this tonight (If I can remember) I'd like to lower the front a hair, maybe a ½" or so.
Your car looks great , as do the rims! Year one did a great job. It's just that it looks like they need taller rubber or something? It's not quite "the rubber band look" but it's got me thinking....
I was decided on 18" rims , now seeing this , it has got me thinking again....
I REALLY wish the tire manufacturers had more size selections!
Curious how's the ride as compared to your old rims/tires?
I agree. I would have preferred a 50, maybe a 55 on the rear. But that size is hard to find, and when I found 1, there was not a matching front... Interestingly though, I did not think about this until I saw these pictures. In person it looks fine. Maybe the photos skew reality a little.
The ride is more rough, but it's not bad at all. The suspension on the car is pretty soft. Those with more modern suspension may notice a bigger difference. It doesn't bother me much as this is my weekend boulevard cruiser.
OK, I'm sold! They look better than I thought they would.
Thanks. They actually look pretty good even without the center caps., provided you have shorter lug nuts. a few hundred dollars cheaper too.
