What type and make of wheels did you get in 9.5" with 4 3/4" backspacing?

Where you able to keep sway bar on with no modification?
Why did you choose to go 17/18 combo and not 17/17?

Only picture I currently have of the wheels, they're 18 inch US Mags Bandits, can't recall the tire size but its basically a direct match to the original diameter

Looked at a lot of wheels on here but this is the stand out for me, the car colour and wheel combination are perfect

That tire and wheel combination look perfect on the car.
I agree they are the nicest I’ve seen and match the color scheme.
Even in 18” they fit the car lines and are a period correct aftermarket wheel.

What wheels are these?

HndMeDwn 02-13-2019 01:21 PM

Love the look. Did you have to do a lot to make them fit under? Especially with the 10's in the front.

101Airborne 02-13-2019 01:41 PM

Offset trailing arms in rear I have tubular control arms front then just correct back space 5.5 rear 5.3 front

@Ryan102 Just wanted to ask, seeing those rears sticking out beyond the wheel arch, don't they ever rub?

Ryan102 02-23-2019 04:09 PM

Never had any issues.

C3 Tire Replacement
 
Hey guys, currently have 235/60 r15 on a stock 1975 base model. Want to change them to 255/60 r15. Will these work without rubbing or other alterations??
