my new wheels

[bluvelle]

Thanks to Mick & Yvette for shipping all my new bits for me.

Here's some pics of my new rally wheels & big fat tyres.
what do you all think?

I see you've gone with the 'cutting edge' in tyre technology only Mickey Thompson Sportsmans can provide.

I think they look great Col. Like them better than the Coys.

Hey Joe.

Yeah, the backs are rubbing a little bit. Had the car at the panel shop today. can't do much with the rear inner guards without cutting. Im going to try some heavier rear springs which will lift it a bit and limit the spring compress enough to stop them rubbing (maybe).

What's wrong with Mickey Thompsons. It's a muscle car with muscle car tyres to match.
Me like.........:shades:

Very nice....car looks great!

The M/T's look great.

Col, if you want to go the 'garage hack' route, as I always do, you might find that HQ Holden station wagon rear springs could give you what you need.  They do give you a little more than sedan springs and worked perfectly to give me the 'lowered' look in my '64 Bonneville years ago - but my Bonne was a waaay heavier car.  As far as I know, they're a bolt in swap, however, I could be wrong.:fingers:

Also, it's not like you find HQ coils at a swap meet for $5 anymore.

Thanks Chris. Your right on. HQ/WB springs are the same as GM A body. Going to have my springs load tested next week and will work out what I need from there. Looks like I can get an off the shelf H/D spring to suit after talking to our suspension guys today. Probably go with heavier shocks to slow the compress rate a bit too.
