Re: 1971 project
I am actually looking at raceline wheels! What are the specs on the front wheels? And is the trackwith narrowed? Mines just a stock crossmemeber z'd with thorbeck arms and im trying to figure out what offset and backspacing to get.

Re: 1971 project
The wheels are 22x8.5 with 5.25 bs. I'm not sure how much the DM narrows the track. Maybe someone will answer that for us.

Re: 1971 project
What's the tire size on those, and are you running a 3" drop spindle?

Re: 1971 project
that is one classy looking wheel, not the typical ghetto style. seems like a good fit for the body style truck

Re: 1971 project
I'm with you on that. I could only find a few wheels that I liked that were plain enough. The other reason I got these was the price was much better that the others...and they do 24s.

Re: 1971 project
Should have some more pics first of next week. We have to pull the rear end and set the tires up in there to see how much we need to narrow the rear end. I bought 4" back spacing so I'm thinking we will need to cut about 3" a side. Back half should be sick...fabricator has some cool ideas.

Re: 1971 project
What are you running for brakes/spindles in the front?
