Do you know if I have to run a different caliper with a 1" rotor though?

This is correct. With 1.25 rotor you will need to taper the front of the spindle to match the bore of the wheel plus run a small spacer to get the cap to fit or modify the cap. I have the -2 18's installed on my 67. I believe on the original post it is explained in great detail. You can cut the spindle to help with clearance for the cap but I choose not to cut the spindle and have a small spacer made to fit cap on.

Here is the link for the original post that talks about the issues with the -2 wheels. Mine played out exactly like this. Hope this helps.

Thanks for that clarification. When I replied previously I misread the question. I corrected my post accordingly.

Hellbent - I think sublvr has two sets of 18's for sale in the classified section ready to ship. Not sure of the spacing though. I guess I won't be the only one in the area with a set if you get some!

I've tried calling HID Solutions with no luck and no returned calls. I need to cancel my order and get my money back ASAP.

Sorry, I had to take the afternoon off. Shoot me an email or PM, I can get to those a lot quicker than phone calls

Very nice! Latest word on my 20x8.5 chrome fronts is they're not even in production and no ETA. Should have gone with grey....

[k5hart]

Thanks brossow. I'm really happy with the greys. Hope you get your soon.

I have a question for ya'll that have your wheels. What are you using for lug nuts? I got a set of chrome, closed, acorns from OReilys and I couldn't get a socket in the holes with the lug nuts. I ended up using my stock nuts which were just small enough but they look bad. Plus I want some locks.

This is a little up setting to me. I received my rear 20x10 about 2 months ago and have patiently waited for the 20x8.5. Well I guess there is not alot to do except wait.

What size tires are you running?

[TxSqueeze]

Well, my tires are on the way. Nitto Invo; 245/40/20's and 295/35/20's. Wish I knew when my wheels would be on the way. What's very frustrating is there is a brand new set of the one's I'm waiting on, 30 minutes from my house. Oh well. Goin to argue with a grinder again.....
