Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

i have a question i hope you can help me with. i have a 68 1/2ton burb that i want to put some 20ins on .i got a set of 20in cadillic escalade wheels they fit good on the front but won't go on the rear. like maybe the axle has to be cut down or something ? thanks for any help you can give me. sweet burb by the way !!!!!!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

sure let me give it a whirl for yah :). so if i understand what you are saying correctly, is that the wheels are rubbing on the inside on the back with them on??? if that is correct, you will need some same bolt patter to same bolt pattern adapters to push them out far enough to not rub. this is what i had to do on mine, even though it has the wider 71-72 rear end under it. on the wheels i have the offset was wrong because they came off of a 99 suburban

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

cant wait to see the bumper in primer! that way we can see how smooth it is!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

its gonna need a little bit of filler work before its completely smooth ;)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

no, the wheels will not go on ,like the axle is too big for them to go on .thanks again ron

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

so the axle is to wide, or the center bore is bigger on the axle than the rims??? sorry im trying to understand what you are saying. are the wheels stock escalade wheels, or aftermarket wheels that were on an escalade??

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

The center bore on axle is bigger then the wheel. They are factory optional wheels ,6 spoke like TT2s. Sorry I can't explain better thanks. Ron

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

ahh ok i got it :)

in that case you have a few options.... you can either have the center bore on the wheel opened up to fit, or if you have the room you can run the spacer/adapter i was talking about a few posts up. you could also have the axle machined. or if its got long enough studs on the back, you could run just a small spacer to push them out just enough to clear the problem area.

well mine is converted to 5 lug but.....

the wheels on the front of mine i had to do something similar.... the center bore on the wheels on the front were to small, so i used an angle grinder to open the center bore a little hoping it would help, but it wasn't quite enough, so then i added a small spacer and presto.... perfect fit :)

as for the back they fit no problem, they just sat in to far because of the offset of the wheels, so to fix that i used one of the same pattern to same patter wheel adapter spacers

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

ok i will see if i can find some spacers thanks ron

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

oh no problem bro... glad i could be of some help :)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

sprayed some rust convertor on the back and front side and brought it out in the sunlight for some better pics..

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

nice work man...good welds. do you have a popper system setup already?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks, i made my buddy do it because i let him borrow my wheels to put on his bagged 70 caddy for a show a while back, and a photo shoot for his car clubs calendar last weekend or was it the weekend before last. anyways lol. and also because i don't have a mig welder :(. and nah no popper system setup yet, but i will later on down the road when the drivers door is shaved as well :). there are some low spots do to a little to much heat, but that will get addressed when its body work time. but that wont be for a while as i want to get all the metal work done first.

Very nice! Nice use of labor:metal: I try getting them over with food, and all they do is eat.
