55.2-59 1958 Saab story

[gottattooz]

I used the old rotor to make a groove with the cut off wheel, removed the rotor and finished cutting the excess off flush. Just as I'd hoped the new wheels are set back in about an inch from the lip of the fender. I ordered a pair of 255/45r18s for the front. It's a 26 inch diameter tire that should clear the fender nicely. I might have to raise the front suspension an in or two. We'll see.

And worse case scenario, if the front hub centric thing doesn't work, I'll just buy new hubs and try again.

Looks good with the color contrast.
Haven't got to the tire and fender rub when turning but when I undo the front suspension restraint links that keep it at the stock ride height I anticipate the body will lift off some as the old truck likely weighs less than the envoy did. I have some lowering struts to bring it back down. Then I will do a turning lock to lock thing at full jounce to see if the tires rub. If they do I may do what you have done and/or modify the wheel openings so the tires dont rub under any circumstances.
