    You couldn't have made a better choice, in my opinion. Look perfect on your car! Keystones and Cragars look great on dang near anything.....

    Had an issue on the way home from the shop. I mounted the wheels back on the car as the tech pulled em off the balancer. Did not check clearance on the exhaust. Old wheels cleared, these with a 1/4" more BS did not. About 1/2 way home I start smelling something. look in the L mirror and see smoke coming out of the wheel well. Were nearly home so just drive it into the shop. shut it off and jump back into the service truck to finish running my calls for the day. Later in the evening look up in there and see the over the axle pipe up against the tire and gooey rubber stuck everywhere. It wore a u shaped groove into the sidewall down to the cords. Now looking at a new set of tires for the rear. Damn. hadnt even finished burning these bald yet. Another small problem was that the rims lightly rubbed the lip on the backing plate. seems that theres a little run out (wobble) and with the extra BS its really close. Made some 3/16 spacers to take care of that.
