Yep, keeping the same wheels for now. Down the road I'll probably upsize then. I can get rid of the spacers at that time.

Been really bad about updates but it's slowly moving along. Frame is totally stripped down and mounted on the frame table to keep it square. I blasted the inside of the frame a couple weeks ago and painted everything i could reach with header paint. Where the plan is to powder coat it i wanted something on the inside that's not going to burn off when they bake the powder coat. Next up is boxing the middle of the frame back to the gas tank crossmember. Once that is welded up and solid I'll move on to the back. I have a piece of 1/8" wall rec tubing that will tie the back of the rails together along with being boxed. The stock crossmember with the spare tire hoist is coming out and the hoist is getting relocated. After getting a flat twice on my car that didn't come with a spare in not going through that again. Already measured and a temp spare will fit under there just fine and be out of sight. Plus a little extra rearweight won't hurt.
