One of my favorite 'cheap' wheels- lookin' good! What tire sizes did you go with?

Rochlow · 01-11-2013, 07:00 PM

if you dont mind me asking, What wheels are those and do you know the specs?

blfuller123 · 01-12-2013, 12:50 AM

Thanks,

Here is a link for the wheels http://www.aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_w...d=2383&cat=471

Rochlow · 01-12-2013, 11:17 AM

Did you use 20x8.5 in front and 20x10 in the rear?

Looks slick, what kind of Backspacing did you roll with?

blfuller123 · 01-17-2013, 10:24 AM

I had to get a shorter tire because I couldnt use these on the front with the slosh tubz. I ended up changing to a 255 35 and now I dont have prooblems.

Seems like I said something like that. Ha
J/K

What most people don't realize,... you also have to be able to "turn" these wheels left and right,... INSIDE the fenders, because your new ride height is so low.
(you no longer turn thru the wheel opening)

Believe me,... you will feel the tire rubbing the "inside of the fender" if you turn too far.

Yep, expensive lesson learned.

Sorry, just saw your question. What parts are you wondering about?

goldenburb · 01-24-2013, 09:16 PM

The spec I'm looking for would be to get a better ride.After rereading your thread, you got porter built. I don't. Maybe that's why mime rids like crap..lol SO what shocks are you riding on? Also what size is you motor.. Thank ugly p

You are getting a little ahead of me. The engine isnt installed yet and its no where near being on the road at this point. The engine going in is a 496 bbc.

blfuller123 · 02-02-2013, 05:08 PM

Been busy at work latley so I havent gotten much done. I picked up a big air tank, all my air tubing and new fuel tubing yesterday so I will start getting those run next.

Today I made some filler panels for the front fenders. Its kind of hard to tell in the pictures but they have the same size and profile as the factory ones. The factory ones just looked bad from where I cut them. Hopefully they will never be noticed once they are finished. I will get them painted when we re-paint the fenders.

jeffg1010 · 02-02-2013, 05:10 PM

Looking good. What was the final verdict on your side trim?

Thanks. Still plan on getting the trim. Went back and forth about it and I definately want the trim.

jmedero · 02-02-2013, 05:27 PM

Love the Burb man. All you need now is a accuair manifold...... Lol

Thanks, they are 11 inch drilled rotors and stock gm calipers.

blfuller123 · 02-09-2013, 05:59 PM

I got the airline tubing run and I think I am going to have to add some kind of heat shield to protect them from the heat coming off the headers.

blfuller123 · 02-16-2013, 05:30 PM

Doesnt look like much but the air lines, fuel line, brake lines and battery cable are run now. Im really glad to be done with that.

NewType72 · 02-17-2013, 02:44 AM

looks good to me!
