Default Torque thrust 2

I was told if I want an 18x10 wheel on the back I need to do a brake line mod or go a custom wheel ($$). So has any body moved there brake lines in the back to fit 18x10 wheels. 1972 vette

I have 18x10 torques. It was the park brake cable mount that I moved to the top of the arm on my 74

I have 17 x 8 TT II's on mine and I think they are almost too large. At that size I did not have to make any mods. Before you go 18s I'd suggest you look at one in person to see if they look okay to you

I met a guy an 82 Vette with 18x10 with 4" BS. I installed the 18x10 on my 77 to see what clearance I had. The parking brake needed to be repositioned. On my 77 the tire cleared but was too close for comfort. BTW, the front 18x10 cleared with no issues. This was also 4" BS.
