Looks good, fronts should be fine once its on the ground, I fit 295/50 on my 74 and trimmed my quarter lips, you could add room at shocks with Mcbay shock extentions, they kick the shocks in a little.
Nice set up Steve! I got 295's to fit with a two-inch mini tub on 15x8 Chevy rally wheels which barely hit the inside lip when driving with two people. I'm on the fence going down to 275's or cutting 3/16" off the inside fender lip to keep the 295's stance which looks bitchin to me.
Yeah having those wider tires is pretty killer. For cutting the fender lip, just watch that you can only cut so much before the shape of the upper part above the lip brushes the tire, making it useless to cut the lip out any further. Mine still brush the inside of the upper fender just slightly, but I can live with that.
Man you are a life saver. I have the sanr size rimes front and back with the same back spacing. I couldnt find anyone to tell me if they would work. I got the ridler 695 matt black. Thanks
Dont forget I had those rear rims machined down on the inside. The stock back-spacing is not enough and even with that it still rubs with some weight in the rear. 6" back-spacing would be better.
@@marcusguajrdo73 Yes it is stock shock placement. The ride height was very slightly raised with the coil-over shocks as I needed about another half inch to clear the tires a little better.
Well the Wilwood disc upgrade is going to move it out 1/4 inch so I'll see how that works out. But that's a great option. I think I have room at the outer fender to use a spacer if I need to. Thanks for the tip!
Just got some new wheels for my 74 Moordor Nova, 15x8 w/ 5.0 BS (rear) and 15x7 w/ 4.25 BS, I was contemplating 275/60R15 and 215/60R15 for the fronts. I've seen everything from 5.0 works, to it doesn't work, to moving the shocks inboard with a Calvert setup, personal opinion?
Hi Steve, I know it’s right but thinking about going same size with my 72. Everything is stock but everything does clear when actually driving? No crazy rubs or anything? Appreciate your help and your videos!
The rear does rub slightly if there is enough weight in the car or hitting a good bump in the road. Using those coil-over shocks gave it the added lift to get it off the tires. But those rear rims need more material taken off the inside to inset them a bit more.
So, you’re thinking you’re going to have them machined down in the rear only?From your video it looks like they will rub on the inside then wouldn’t it? Sorry for so many questions. I am looking at the same sizes as you but the Ridler 695s.
can not see 9.5 wheels fitting with out rubbing , you should have gotten more backspacing i needed 5.5 maybe your rolled wheel lip is the thing but Backspacing does not look right
