The White Wonder got new shoes...



The hook was set after meeting up with Kevin (SoCalZ) when he suggested putting Cris' wheels on my car for a look see!! His 18"s were a bit much for my taste but did bring out something in the car. I think the 17's did the trick.



What I ended up with is Budnik Anvil 5's, 17x8's up front with 4.75" back spacing (235/45 Nitto's) and 17x9.5's in the rear with 5.5" back spacing (275/40 Nitto's). The car already has Hotchkis 2" drop springs in the front and the 235/45's just fit. The fender clearence on the passanger side is a little tighter than the driver side and that's after re-positioning the subframe to it's proper alignment and some tire alignment as well.



In aligning the subframe Cris pointed out that the body bushings were shot (actually almost non-existant) and that new ones would pick up the front end enough to resolve a very slight rub that occures going into driveways turning left. There already on order!



A big thank you to Cris for all the help he's given me. With his guidance and assistance the White Wonder has been taken to a higher level, not only in handling but looks as well!!

Awesome Dennis. Maybe I should move to Calif. to a high paying job like yours to afford wheels like that, they are great looking. My wife even liked 'em and she isnt that thrilled with cars other than riding around in our Camaro cuz she gets the looks.
Just got a note from my cousin in LA, she and her hubby moved to Canyon Lake,CA into some mansion.He is a lawyer but the cost of living must be horrible out there, especially real estate.
Nice Ride Dennis
