Nice wheels
I never thought I would see them pop up again.


And just a quick question, what is the part number of those koni yellows? What model car are they originally from?

I probably should have made a template out of cardboard but didn't. I just winged it and I didn't have any issues. They attach using the stock mounting locations in the top and rear of the fender well
Finally got it back on the ground. Not much has changed, still need to get my sway bar re-attached.
What I did do was fix the front upper mounting plate. Was too large before and wasn't all that centered:

So its now cut and pretty much centered



Currently rockin the stockies

Once I get rid of my wheels new ones will be ordered

So I ordered wheels at the end of July. I got them the end of last week.



15x8.5 +27 SL disk, SBC finish


So I ordered them knowing they might not clear the front brakes. Nothing a small spacer couldn't fix, just had to wait till I got them to figure out what size spacer I needed. Turns out 2.5mm is what I need so I ordered a 3mm spacer.





Fitment was spot on. Glad that I can still do math
Just needed some tires, 165/55r15 Achilles is what I ended up with.

Spacer for the front hadn't arrived yet so just put the rears on for the time being.


ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS
Threw my temporary spacers on this morning (washers lol, just to get the wheels on and in the driveway for pics)









Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Just need to figure out my driving height and get an alignment and its ready for some long needed mileage.

You need to trailer it to some of the low rider shows in California and Texas.. The Vatos would love that thing, especialy if you put a bowtie on it... Seriously though, it is a pretty car.. I like that you put the tiny tires on it and the wheels are gorgeous...
