Its with me up in edmonton currently. Its a 15 footer. On a shortened s10 chassis, Its getting the mill out of my Chevelle, 6.0l lq4, stock rotating assembly but turbo cam, head studs, along with the billet 76 bw turbo. That combo went 9.5@144 in my chevelle on 16psi. Also installing a 4l80e and a 9" with converging 4 link. I just want to do rolling burnouts in the thing, beat on the car a little less with the new combo thats going in. lol

You probably know my car, 72 Chevelle, cream colored with a turbo ls swap.

Oh awesome! I know your Chevelle its got the whole sleeper thing going on haha. I have admired your car for a long time. I have talked to you a couple of times years ago. You may know a few of my vehicles in my signature.

Yeep thats me, thanks! I've been pretty busy working in edmonton so I did not spend much time in Red Deer last year. I know the burb. Im sure everything would come back to me quickly if I saw you in person again hah. I was trying to search your posts for more pics but apparently the feature is turned off on here.

LugNutKing IV. U can find them on EBay or the Internet. Center caps are 3.45 diameter for Ford trucks.

[eshahak]

Did it fit exactly or did you have to grind the wheels a little to make them fit?

1995 Corvette ZR1 wheels. I used two sets of front wheels. 17x9.5 -52mm offset. 275/45-17 on all corners. I powder coated them Speedway Grey with Casper Clear topcoat.

Do you know how wide your rear end is? I’m wondering if I can fit 17x9’s without tubbing the bed. My rear end is 62” wide

This is a 4th Gen (93-97) Camaro axle, which should be about 65.5" WMS to WMS. Give or take .5"

My 17x9.5 wheels have a little room to go out (towards fender), but with the huge positive offset, they sit in a little bit, so I cut the bed and will add small tubs. I may reverse this if I change rear end and use different wheels. Long story short, with proper offset/backspace, you should be able to fit a 9" wheel without tubbing.

I 'm probably going to swap to either a 3rd Gen Axle (61.5" WMS-WMS) or a Ferd Exploder 8.8, but shortened 3". I don't know what that width will be, but it'll center the pumpkin and be close to the width of my Jag IFS, so I can run similar backspace front and rear.

Riddler 18x8

Eshahak - they slid right in. No modifications necessary. I get a lot of compliments, people seem to like them. The price was good, and delivery was fast. Have bought more from them since then and never had a problem. Post a picture when you get em installed!

I don't think it would be possible to get 5 spokes and 6 lugs.

They are out there. Be patient. I sold some last year. SomeToyotas have the same lug pattern. Add them to your searches. I see them on Craigslist and eBay from time to time. Just gotta hunt them down.

My original wheels that were beat up


Then I bought these but I could not lower the truck,no fender clearance.



So after not finding wheels that I liked and would clear the front fenders I bought new 18inch wheels for my C3 corvette.


The front wheels on the Corvette were 17X8 so I machined the centers out of the front alunimum TT II and moved the centers out to the edge then after a good polish the fronts clear just fine.
The rear 17X9 from the Corvette fit as ther were.
