  • New Wheels On. Opinions?

    Well, Thanks to Fred and a lot of grinding on the rear calipers, I was able to fit the rears. Then I placed The Spacers (1/4") on the front and tightened everything down by hand. Washed the girl and Bam. What do you guys think
    ?

        Yeah took me about 1.5 hours of grinding and fitting and more grinding and fitting to finally get the rears to go on. My hands Hurt all day from the Vibrations of the grinder. The only problem Im having is the Right Rear Tire rubs just a little bit over bumps. But nothing major.

          Looks great! What is the backspace on the 15x8's? The dish looks deeper than mine.

          You can get a decent center cap from Weld. I put them on the front to cover the rusty hub. Left them off of the back since the Strange axle have a nice end cap on the hub.

            Honestly Fred, I dont know at all the specs on these wheels. I have those cap things that stick out, but they need to be buffer out like crazy and I was beat so didnt clean them up. With time I want to get simple flush caps. I dont know if anyone makes them. All I know is these Wheels look BadA$$ and Hook Like a Monkey!!!

                    Thats the First thing my dad, my brother, and one of my friends said. ha ha ha.

                    The bad thing is I cant run them 24/7. I will run them once in a while. I like to hit corners like crazy and I sure cant do that like this, but it sure does look Mean. ha ha ha

                    Thanks man. Yeah My brothers like "It even makes the car look shinnier for some reason."

                    One of my buddies drove 40 miles at 10pm just to check it out. In his words, "Dude, Just stop there man, That thing Looks insanely sick!" ha ha ha

                    Not bad for $300 that I spent on wheels and tires. ha ha ha

                        Yeah It was one of the best deals ever. My co-work/supervisor is a mean Gasser. Old School. He had them sitting there and asked me if I knew anyone looking for a light set of wheels, I picked them up the next day.
