Re: Cgt project
Please help. Going out of my mind with my rear wheels. They are 22 x 12. I went with this backspace because sometimes when you have little backspace you loose the look of the wheel as all you see is lip. Not sure if I have enough lip. Am willing to change out the rear wheels but I cannot make up my mind. What do you think? Opinions...

Re: Cgt project
Looks good from here.
What are the F/R back space numbers?

Re: Cgt project
F is 5.5 on a 9" wheel. Has clearance lock to lock, at this ride height.
R is 7 on a 12" wheel. If I change it would go down to 4" backspace. |

Re: Cgt project
Yikes.... 4" backspacing on a 12" wheel is closing in on race car/Pro Street territory. I'm ok w/about 4"BS on a 10. Beyond that the wheel detail seems to be lost (especially on these 6x-66 trucks). So 10"/4"bs; 11"/5"bs; 12"/6"bs.... You're pretty much spot-on where I feel the 'look' is now but thats a personal thing.

I want my truck to handle. Yes 22's are not optimal for that, but I like the look. My front track width is 59" so when designing my frame I went with 59" for the axle because somewhere I read this is good. Set the B.S. on the wheels to fit my suspension. ( some do it the other way around). Last edited by vet57air; 04-08-2020 at 10:51 AM. |

Re: Cgt project
Personally I like your set up now with the lesser lip so the detail of the wheel center is more clearly seen. I agree with Scoti's comments on bs measurements.
I think the big lip trend is going to play out at sometime, but the lesser lip/more center detail is timeless.

My front track width should be 60-61" (OE truck disc brake fronts @ 64; PB Dropmember -1.5", PB 1" narrowed arms, & CPP modular spindles -.5 x2= 60.5"). Wheels will be 8-9" w/5.25 - 5.50"BS. I think your set-up will work well.

Re: Cgt project
Finally received the parts I needed for the steering. Never had to use 4 joints before ( two doubles). My frame manufacturer laid back the rack making the conntection more complicated.

Re: Cgt project
Wow.... You had to utilize two different support bearings.

Re: Cgt project
I guess they figured exhaust would be easier w/the steering routed low & under the motor-mount tower.

Re: Cgt project
Doing body gaps. Pretty happy with door and fender gaps. Have the hood and cowl pieces left. I like the gap between the hood and fenders but the cowl is high. Anyone have any tricks besides me slicing the cowl piece?

Re: Cgt project
Just found your build. Nice work!! Do you have enough clearance to allow for a 4" back space on the rear wheel?

Re: Cgt project
Well.... I guess that's good. Work detail should easily pass ownership QC. But then again I've heard when the same person wears both hats (owner & QC) there can be a struggle.

Re: Cgt project
Don't get me wrong, I hate body work. I do it out of necessity. I'm pretty picky detailed kind of guy and can't afford to pay someone to do it.
