I saw an article in a mag the other day in the store on this. Anybody running these wheels because I'm wondering about cost and 13" caliper/rotor fit. The article said the fronts fit w/ a 2" spacer and (I think) 255/40-17 front tires and 275's on rear.
I'm wondering how close this combination will come to the fender lip when set at 4.75" Back space?? I need wheels for my cheap big brake conversion using the 13" 1988 Vette front rotor and big single piston truck caliper and homemade caliper bracket. I really like the looks of these if they fit and don't cost an arm and a leg!! Come back please. pdq67 |

2" spacers don't sound like a good idea - would put tremendous shear loads on the (long) studs under braking. I wouldn't trust any spacer setup thicker than 1/2", if at all.

I think this combo is close to what you want. Tony also has an e-mail address posted on his site if you have questions. |
