I added 1 inch adapters to the fronts but they still rub the frame. So those that say 4 inch back spacing will work using 255/45/18 on 18 X 8 wheels, I don't know how you did it?

Those of you running 17" front and 18" rear wheels was it for looks? Looking at AC-III wheels and max is 17".

Better tire selection options in 18".

...not to mention 18's open up a few more brake options.
BTW, I'm pretty sure I caught a shot of your shark on an episode of 'Fast N' Loud' not long ago.

Pretty sure they are Intro Pentia's, I'd love a set for my '72. The brake options comment makes a lot of sense - greatly appreciate your comments.

Yep that was me! Those dorks were filming at the Good-Guys event at Texas Motor Speedway this past spring. That 5 seconds has generated a lot of comments from people I know on and off of the forum.

The 9,5x18 are custom made. Let them know which diameter, which wide and which offset and they fabricate it for you.

Awesome Car, Awesome Picture.
Almost looks like it would belong on the Desktop background of "Microsoft windows", with the Blue on Green colours.

Ron, do you have any side pics showing the wheels better. I've been looking at these wheels but would have to be 8" frt and 9.5" rear as I won't likely be adding flares.
