practice makes it perfect. I finally made some nice double flares on the cunifer brake lines



I just ordered one 285-30-20 falken FK-453 tire for test fitting my rear 20x10 rims. can't wait to receive the rims

 

just arrived yesterday now only the rims have to arrive

 

205/70-14 vs. 285/30-20













fender lips needs to be rolled and need to widen the inner wheeltubs. maybe will cut stock out and get universal fenderwells from summit like this?

Summit Racing SUM-G7908 - Summit Racing® Rear Fenderwells - Overview - SummitRacing.com

what do you think about that kit from summit?

anyways - I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

 

Big difference in tire size. I would assume those fender wells from summit would work although I do not have any experience with this type of work.

 

woohoo got the wheels!!!!!



on the left its the 20x8.5 and on the right the 20x10

 

more work done today. will put body back on frame to bring the whole thing to another location for work on the body. some cut and welds and getting ready for paint in few weeks.









just got my rear wheel back from the tire guy. 285/30-20 Falken FK453 on Showwheels Streeter 20x10 Custom Black

 

today's update. test fitted my 20x10 wheel and oh well it looks SWEET!!!!





brought body back on frame, put the stock rear end back on and tested the wheels again - wheel rubs bad on inside of the frame. will try a wheel adapter to make it fit but maybe will also notch the frame a little. but will test with a adapter first.

 

unfortunately front wheels won't clear C5 calipers/brakes without spacers. but I'll get some 20mm adapters/spacers on rear and will try them on front as well.





fronts are 20x8.5 with 5.25 BS and rears are 20x10 with 5.5 BS

oh and here some pics of my sweet nice doors

 

I test fitted H&R 20mm adapters/spacers on each side today. for first on fronts - now the front wheels clear the C5 calipers







so I tried the 20mm spacer on the rear and it looked like this:



I think it looks okay and clears the frame now - but I think I want 30mm spacers now just added some washers to simulate a 30mm spacer:









Please note there's no weight/interior/doors/engine in the car so thats why the suspension is pretty high right now LOL

oh and here's another cool shot (with 20mm spacers):

 

today I cut my rear fender lips a little. stock lips are about 1" wide.



I half cut them and will roll them later to clear the tires.
