WOW...nice George! :TU:

 

:tu: :tu:

 

George - You are really crushing the clock. Almost like a Overhaulin' show with Foose at the helm. Can't wait to see the final product!:TU:

 

George-
So what are your plans for wheels and tires for Widow II?
Thanks.

 

Wheels,18x10 at the rear and 18x8 in the front,Budnik Fontana wheels but the Fat Lip series,probably 285 or 295 tires in the back and 245 in the front,Wilwood 6 piston caliper brakes all around with 14" rotors.

Thanks

 

285/295? Is there that much room for that size in the rear? What kind of wheelhouse mods are required to fit that size tire?
Thanks.

 

With the right backspacing on the wheel and fold the inner part of the quarter lip in alittle you dont need any other mods.

 

Thanks George, I'll keep that in mind. :TU:
I've spent the last week rolling the fender lips on mine, I'll be interested to see how much I've gained when I get her back together over the next few days. Long story short, I'll be in the market for new wheels and tires for mine in the near future is the reason I'm asking. Call me an old fart though, I'll be sticking with 15s.
Thanks.

 

Hey nothing wrong with 15`s,whatever floats everyones boat.:TU:

 

Your're right, it'd be a pretty boring world if we all liked and did the same things.
The challenge with mine will be that my body mounts are SHOT and my body is shifted to the right on the frame. But that's another project for another time when my pocketbook allows it.
But for the moment, I am afraid that my circumstances are going to somewhat restrict my tire and wheel selection, ie, I think I am going to need to be conservative with what I choose.
Thanks for the feedback.

 

Yea Mike i would definately take care of the body shift issue before i`d get a good set of wheel sizes and tire sizes under there,wish you good luck.


Thanks

 

Here is some more progress pics..

 

Getting there. I want a ride when it's done George.:TU:

 

Looks like it's coming along great,George!

Good Luck!!!!!!
