They should be here in time for Christmas. Quote:
20x8.5 (5.25" bs) and 20x10 (6.0" bs). The tubs could house a little more but not much so I didn't see a reason to push it and cause myself any issues.

Re: Project: Shiro
I never wanted to say anything about the old wheels but always thought something else would look better. I think the new wheels will look great with the white paint.

Thanks Chris!

Thanks Dan! Quote:
Progress for today was HUGE, and I am beat so I'm not sure how much will get done tomorrow. I may have to take another health day. Just two more crossmembers to go and the frame mods will be pretty much done and we will be on to mocking up the suspension components. Anyway, I was able to get the front crossmember mocked up. Thanks to Nate Porter for a customer service call to help me find and figure out some hardware, these things take a ton of bolts! Also got the trailing arm crossmember installed... ...as well as the rearmost tubular crossmember. Here's what it looks like at this point.

Re: Project: Shiro
Its going to be so nice.
You are doing it the best way. Mock up everything! Brake lines, fuel lines, steering, etc. Then blow part for paint. No surprises later.

Re: Project: Shiro
Looks like you & I made the same mistake... I put the notch in (472 bolts to hold it in) before putting the panhard bar support crossmember in . At least you only have to take 1 notch back out (236 bolts ). Progress is looking great. And Keith is right... Mock it up completely... That's my plan, if I'll quit buying new cooler (ie $$$'er) parts.

Re: Project: Shiro
Well, I spent the morning correctly installing the panhard bar crossmember and mount. I also installed the core support crossmember. Pics...
Panhard bar mount and crossmember... Another angle Core support crossmember I am really stoked to be to this point, need to finish installing the truss and motor mounts on the main crossmember next.
