Rollin' on 18's?

[BIG-MAC]

In our Garage you show the offset but not the backspace!

OK here you go....

front = 5.17" (includes 1/4" spacer to keep rim off UCA at full lock)
back = 5.94" (no spacers)

Thank you...

18x8 with a 4.5-4.75 fits fine.

The 9 was the one I was more curious about. That's a heavy backspace for our cars. Did you do some inner wheelhouse work? How close are these to your springs???

Looks killer from behind!!!

I think I just found the rear tires I'm going to. These 275 Kumo MX's are just not enough....

They're new Hoosier DOT approved slicks 295x35x17 Model RS305.

No inner wheelhoues work. The only mod is rolled lips. And there is about an inch between the tire and spring. I was running 18x10 with 295/35 on the back but it rubbed a little so I went smaller rather than raise it up. The pics show the 10's on the back.

That makes sense. Those look huge in the picture!

[GNN60GT500]

All you need is one of those rear view mirrors that goes all the way across the windshield-

that car would be so hot with some different wheels and tires...just my opinion

OMG Steve, putting those wheels on a clean 69 is like painting a moustache on the Mona Lisa.

I must be half Mexican cuz I think that is sharp. Maybe old school but sharp.

Thats very clean.........but its sits the way that one Boyd did. The 245's on the rear arent fat enough or the back needs to be a little lower(IMO)

That was the car you had built?????They did a clean job and used alot of $$$$$$$$$$ in good looking parts.

Thanks...
Yes this car was built by G Force Design Concepts.
At one point I had a 2" lowering block on the car then we changed it
to a 1" block.. ultimately we removed the lowering blocks all together.
I also would have liked to have had a wider tire as I really like the look of big meats stuffed under a car.
Bottom line is I have two boys 9 and a 12 that love to ride in my car and I did not want ANY rubbing issues..
So I went with the combo that eliminated those concerns..

oh i see, yeah the block(s) would have made a difference.Did the tires rub or you didnt want to risk it????? Im sure if the wheels have the right offset a 265/35 or 40 would have been fine.

so how does it run????

 

[Cobra5.0Jeep]

Lets see 'em!
:SNSign:

I think I found a few:

Where did you find that pic of the Black Fastback? Do you have any specs on it?

I didn't think they were Maier. They look square in the picture. My vision's failing me!
