No cool outdoor pics yet, weather's been crappy, Boze Track 17" x 7", 4.5" BS. Indy 500 Ultra Performance 225/50R17 Front; 235/50R17 rears. Probably eventually go with 235s on front also, but like the stance. I poured over all the old tire/wheel threads like this for hours so maybe resurrecting this is not so bad.

If you had more back space would the wheel go around the end of the leaf. I'm looking for wheels and want to use 17s but not sure if they are big enough. I know 18s will.Buy the way thanks again Larry. Your car looks great

I can check tonight Reno. But LouieM runs 4.75" BS. We moved my Ebrake tab and I think I easily could have gone another .25" in BS..

Did we finally get you all you needed for the modified hood vents? When you get them remade post pics. We're using several houses for printed parts. Your modified vents are perfect candidates for printed prototypes. Post progress of your coupe track car. Merry Christmas!

Yes I have every thing needed to have vents made the collage is working on them. The car is in the final block. Time to pick a color. I'm going to have to make a new thread for all the pic's. As soon as vents are done I will send you some pic's. Hope you your family and friends have a great Christmas

Yes, 205 tires would fit.

The spinners, hats, and cones are aftermarket and I did a whole thread on how I did them and at one time and where I got the parts. It should be somewhere in this forum, assuming the pics haven't gone away.

Those look a lot like the factory wheels on the early 70's Z28s

Funny how some folks love to tell people to “search the forums” and then they do (and reply), they get responses like that.

The point probably was that he sold the car like 10 yrs ago, and doesnt hang out here to answer the question.
