I got this car in Frisco in Febuary and made it home in march just put a 350 into it there was a TH350 already there just a start but its a sweet ride for sure can't wait til my torque thrust 2's show up 16X7and 16X8 then next year 2004R OD and 4wheel disc brakes woohooo

Ken

this car and my 65 will be built identicaly both A/C cruisers

 

Theres a guy in California who does the reduced hub for the 65s/6s/ 7s/ sport wheels, His name is Jerry. Someone will chime in with his full name I'm sure ! Nice car by the way !! would look real nice towing my 65GS :TU: :laugh: Gary

 

Thanks I could use a reduced hub for all 4 of my 64 & 65's after all i have 9 sport wheels

My rims arrived just in time for fathers day gift to me

16X7 4.25 bs front 16X8 5.25 bs rear

 

Real cars have tailgates...elephants have trunks.
Mr. BUICK,I love this wagon.:TU:

 

Ken,

What suspension mods were you required to perform in order to run those rims? Thanks, Doug

 

non at all:shock: the fronts are 16X7 with 4.25" back spacing I run 215/55/16 tires rear are 16X8 5.25" back spacing and can easly fit almost any size tire i currently have 225/60/16 but am going with 235/55/16 ths weekend even a 245/50/16 would work. i am changing rear ends to a 1970 A body rear so 5.25 back spacing really helps. the fronts should probably be 205/60/16 for a little more room or just a little more spring. I needed top take the bolt out of the inner fender in the middle and on big turns the do touch a little
