It would be nice to have one thread with a whole lot of different pictures of cars on this site to help people when choosing what wheels they would decide to buy.

1. post the pic
2. Wheel brand
3. Wheel size & tire size
4. Backspacing
5. Any clearance issues

Re: post up your pictures!

There are quite a few threads already over the years but yes it would be nice to just have that info and pics then make it a sticky in wheels/tires.
A/R Ansen sprints
17x7 with 4" BS and BFG 225/45R17's up front and
17x8 with 4 1/2" BS and Mickey Thompson DR 275/40R17's out back
The front has 2" Hotchkis drop springs. The rear is stock mono leaf.

I've dropped the rear down sense this picture. It had long shackles when I got it, but haven't had a chance to roll her out and shoot another yet. I'd still like a taller tire in the rear, but haven't found a larger 17" drag radial yet.

Re: post up your pictures!

For what it's worth, I just ordered a set of 18" Budnik Ice wheels for my 69 Camaro. I called the guys at DSE for their recomendations, and I got 18x8 fronts with 4 7/8's back spacing, and 18x9 rears with 5 1/2 back spacing. BFG tires with 245/40 F, and 275/40 R. I am running Baer discs all the way around.

I know, 4 7/8's??? That is what they run.....
