Re: Looking for recommendations for custom wheel manufacturers
Well, I'd start by knowing how wide my axle was (67-70 narrow housing that's been converted to 5 lug or 71-72 5-lug, wide housing), measuring how much room I had in my wheelwell, figuring out the backspace I needed and then searching/calling around to different wheel manufacturers that offer custom wheels. There are a TON of threads on this site with that info if you'll just use the search tab. I just ordered a set of wheels from Schott Performance and I measured everything myself just to confirm some of the info floating around on this site - if you like what they have, call them up and as for Dave Wagner, he was a big help. Most wheel manufacturers will also have a lot of info on different makes/models and they'll be able to help you out some also. Before I dropped my money on some custom wheels, I wanted to make completely sure they were going to fit like I wanted them to.
