First of all... the rears don't really fit lol. They just need to be like a quarter inch narrower (10.75") and they would tuck up in the fenders nicely. As they are now, they need a rather large spacer I haven't measured exactly what it is yet, but did mock it up. The lips will have to poke just outside the fenders and the inside of the wheel wells will be just barely clearing. I'll have to put some kind of a mechanical stop on the suspension in the rear in order to avoid destroying the rear fenders with the wheels over bumps. I tell you what, V8 rear fenders would fit these incredibly perfectly. I'm jealous. Here are the pics of rear mock-up and then just fronts on the front and back of the car.
Here's my buddy holding the wheel against some mock up spacer pieces of wood.
a good idea of how much they poke
and a good idea of how tight the fit will be (obviously requires stretched tires)
another closeup
remember, these pics are fronts only
better pic of the steering wheel (don't mind the messy interior... 2500 mile trip will do that)
and a kinda sweet side shot from Carlisle
Whatever the case, I feel that these wheels really need to be on this car!
