I want MORE! I have a jail-bar sitting in pieces behind my garage! I'll get around to it eventually!

This is awesome. Keep the updates coming!

Check it, I scored some vintage 14x7.5 basket weave wheels. From my best guess they are ET wire mags, aluminum wheels from the early 70's and have a uni five lug bolt pattern and a deep offset, thats a 2.5" back spacing(I think that makes them about -30mm offset). Tires are take offs from my stock e30 bottlecaps, 195/65/14



just test fitment for the front for the moment, this weekend I should find out how well they will clear the rear disc brakes



It changes the overall look of the truck, which is what I like best as a wheel enthusiast



I had to roll the fender a little to get the proper clearance, so far I'm digging the fit.

[Anonymoose]

Oooooffff, those look hard cone... The car will be on. the. ground

I put the salt flats on again to see if I could run them with a slightly lower profile tire, shown is a 215-50-17, soon to be replaced with 195-40-17 to see if I can still steer.

I love my wheel option so I got these vintage 70's basket weaves

Im digging the look and fitment even though they are 14x7.5

really great shape for the age, now I need to see if the fit the chevelle

[Anonymoose]

I vote fenders as is, widest tyres possible with those 17's, post pics and I will have a fapfest

[octobeak]

I was originally into widening the fenders 2 inches each side, or even making sheetmetal flares for the widest wheel and tire possible... this thing looks so fat already, u think i should make it fatter?

[Curt_pnw]

Diggin this build. And I agree with not going with stretch, this thing needs a meaty stance!

[Anonymoose]

Fuck stretch, run the widest tyre you can, this needs meat!

[octobeak]

I think with the new status of my chevelle the 17's are moving to the ford. I have to test fit them again to make sure the rims fit the front, they are only 17x7 but have some offset so I think Im going to try some 195-40-17's. not sure if that will be stretched enough though, what do u guys think?

[electricalbox]

Beastly, I love it!

[octobeak]

I'm just trying to keep afloat with all of my projects, I'm pulling the tires from my 17x7's to put a little stretch on them, I hope the fit because the look the part. The problem is the offset, to fit inside the stock sheetmetal it will require some heavy rolling of fenders. This truck looks wide but its all an illusion, thats why ive run spares up front to this point.
