veritech-z Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Hey, that looks pretty nice, Mike! You're right though, the offset and width are all wrong on those wheels. How much wider than stock are your current fenders, do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Max... If I recall correctly the front fenders are 6-7 inches wider than stock and the rear are 10 inches wider. materchan... Thanks. The "AR" stand for American Racing, I think, as is suggested in another post. But they don't list these on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly the front fenders are 6-7 inches wider than stock and the rear are 10 inches wider. wow, that's a lot of wheel that you'd need if you want them to fit correctly without spacers, up into the 10-12" wide types! If you leave your spacers on, and polish these up, these (possibly) Halibrand Magnesium wheels could look pretty cool. The auction says they are 15X9.5 with a 3.75" backspace (deep!), so with your adapters they should come out to the edge of your fenders. I haven't done all the math, but it "feels" about right just looking at the numbers...(but the lug pattern is 5X4.75...kind of wierd...) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vintage-Halibrand-Magnesium-9-1-2-x-15-Wheels_W0QQitemZ120091728651QQihZ002QQcategoryZ140747QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Max... Thanks for your help. Yep that looks about right. But I really want to get rid of the spacers and go all wheel... 10" deep dish in back and 7 inch in front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
