Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Yea... a little too much. He's gonna have to use spacers.
if anyone has any 6 lug ones, let him know. They look awesome though......

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
They sure do look great on there. Sucks about the offset, but at least a spacer is an easy fix and you are still able to run them. The polish on them is outstanding!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
ya i am not worried, unless you spend the big bucks and have them made for your truck, you should expect a little adjusting issues !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Dude my neighbor had a ton of billet spacers. The good ones. He had a wheel shop a few years back. He works off shore two weeks at a time. His son came over and asked me if he could use a sledge hamer, I said sure. Well I talked to his dad te other day and the son used the sledge to knock the studs out of them and took them to the scrap yard for $50!!!! His dad was pissed!!! He said it was like 20 sets. Most chevy patterns.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
So I hear there's "good one's" and "bad one's"...how do you tell the difference?
I'm sure with 2"s being needed, you'll get the kind that bolt onto the rotor and have their own studs (which I imagine are the "good one's"), but what if you only need 1/4"-1/2"?

No expert for sure ...... But I do know you want billet and not cast .... I'm sure someone knows more about this than I do though . By the way it looks very good !!!!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Looking great!! Did you go with a 22 x 8.5 in the rear? Would have really like to see a 22 x 10 with a nice lip...looks sweet none the less! I purchased 2" billet adapters for my '97 Tahoe and they were excellent quality and had no issues. I am with ksbrktracer, make sure they are the aircraft billet, not cast!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
the tire info said for a 9-10.5 rim , but i would agree it prob would have looked better on a 9 inch rim ...live and learn , maybe i can keep enough of it tucked up in there so you wont notice !!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
my rear inner fenders were raised enough to lay out on a 28 inch tire, i had no plans of going to a 22 until i ran across these .....so to try to get them as close to 28 inches tall as i could this is the tire size i had to choose, i would prefer to have about 4 inches of sidewall but.....i guess i cant. i might have to just trailer my truck when i go to the shows that are along way off....always said i would never do that but....

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Mike,
Here's the place I was telling you about with spacers and adapters... They do have 2" ones available but they are a little more than your ebay find. http://www.ezaccessory.com/Wheel_Ada...6550-6550c.htm As far as spacers go, the cheap ones that you can buy alomst anywhere can work fine but the potential for having slight balancing problems is fairly high. They are all plenty strong. Porsche ahs been using wheel spacers for many many years. The billet ones (Porsche uses these) are usually hubcentric on the inside and on the outside also. Some companies you can tell them what your hub bore is and what your wheel bore is and they will make them with the 2 different bores so they are hubcentric on both sides. That is the ideal situation so there is no issue with your wheels being out of balance. Does that make sense?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
i had seen them before too but they had dimples in the edge of the rim like the foose nitrous wheels , they could've been a one off/custom order in that backspace
__________________
