Im building mine right now and looking at wheel and tire sizes. what is the wheel size in front including backspacing? and the tire size. By the way the wheels look great with the black top dont think chrome would have looked as good on this car
charles broyles I agree about the chrome! I have the wheel specs in the comments here it below from someone else asking it just won’t let me copy and paste them again from my phone :/
Thank you :) wheel sizes are in the description and several times in the comments. You can take those numbers and google a tire size calculator and it will give you the overall dimensions of tires and then you can measure your car and see if they would work. I have no idea if they would fit your car :/
I don’t have a RU-vid channel bro I’ve been thinking about making one but not yet, heavy is good on my truck I can use the weight, with this 6.0 and electric pedal I lose my ass end in every corner hahahaha
That looks awesome brother hey did the center cap come included or did you have to purchase separately..I want these wheels for 1973 c10 step side I want 15x12 rear and the thinnest ones I can get in the front
Abcdedghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz thanks! They did not come with center caps. You can find all the different sizes if you search “us wheels 68” on summit. They show the cap but not included. You can get the cap that they show but they are a total pain to you and sketchy the way they mount. I ended up getting bullet centers with bullet style lug buts that achieved the same look and a lot cheaper :)
Abcdedghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz it’s not letting me copy links from the summit app. Just go to summit racing.com and search the wheel model and it will have lots of different sizes. Super easy
I'm also installing bigger disk brakes that require a 17in minimum rim....any idea if I can install a 19in without doing a mini tub.....nice look on the nova love the green and rims
Thanks! I see lots of people running 18's without issue.. I would imagine you could to 19 but maybe not go as low... I don't think mini tubs are really needed until you go wider in rear.
@@BillyFargon Thank you very much for replying I'm learning from all your videos I appreciate it 1st time doing this engine.... One last question if that's OK if I run through stock automatic transmission that comes with the engine do i have to cut the tunnel.. thanks
I don’t mind helping out. Mine is a 4l80e and it’s big but it required to tunnel mods when using the Holley swap stuff. I’m sure other swap stuff will work too but this was confirmed with Holley from the beginning. If you have a 4l60 you should have even more room to work with. So basically I think the only mods to tunnel are required when you run a manual trans in these cars
I almost wanted to buy these same wheels from summit. Was worried about the backing space. Decided to hold off. Not sure how they would fit my car is lowered 5 inches in rear and about 4 in front.
AllThingsHelpful _ I’m not sure what my overall dimensions are for lowering since my car had sagging suspension before but in the front from floor to top of wheel well opening is 23-1/2.. is yours close?
My 69 is probably about 2 inches lower than yours. I want to run a 18 inch rim out back. You said your rims are 9” wide with a 5” backspace. I’m thinking a 5.5 backspace to make sure it clears the quarter. Does that sound right after doing yours
I’ll reserve judgement on the wheels until I can see the whole car on the ground with the new hood on. I like the black though, I think it works well with the green. What size tires are you running?
Fair enough :) I'm curious to see them on the ground too and be able to stand back and look. Although I have been looking at them for a couple days now and I am liking them more and more!
I know this is from a while ago After seeing these on your car I had to get a set for mine! Nice work on both your projects and your vlog! I saw the tire sizes and it looks like your running a smaller sidewall on the rears? 40 in the rear vs.45 in the front? Or did I miss something?
