Finally Got Some New Rims and Tires!!! More Pics!
« on: December 08, 2007, 07:16:42 PM »

Just put them on today and I like em! The old ones were bad, some even said, "g wilikers grandma, maybe a new set of rims too-" and I'm not going to mention any names but....



moparrr07 said it! lol  lol bash

Anyways they are 14x7, sbp, 4 in. backspacing, American Racing Outlaw II's.  The fronts are 215/70-14 and the rears are 225/70-14.  Grin

I'll take some better pictures soon, the car's all dusty and there's a couple of inches of snow on the ground now so...         Stupid Snow  Madd

I'd love to put some 305/60-15 on, but for now I'm happy with this. Maybe someday

Just out of curiosity, how much clearance do you have on the rear tires?

I took a closer look at the pics....those valance panels dont look like they have one rock ding on them. The chrome looks PERFECT.....no rust that I can see. How many miles on this thing? where did you find it? in a bank vault!

Well thank you for the complements, the bumpers aren't as perfect as they look but they are still very nice.  There is a tiny bit of surface rust but that's all I've found. It has a little over 36,000 miles on it and it came from new Mexico about 7 years ago and I bought it from a guy here in Colorado about 3 years ago. I got very lucky  !nanr
The front valance is the only problem, they said when they towed it this is what happened. I'll fix it soon, no biggie

They're a little over an inch away from the leaf springs and a little over an inch away from the widest part of the tire to the uncut wheel well lip. Plenty of room above, the tires are only 26.5 inches tall  Cool

Yeah I tried that a while back but it's pretty oxidized. I Buffed the hood out a little bit and some of it turned out OK and other parts it just took the paint right off and was showing a lot the the red primer underneath. So that's why the hood is black now. I had to try it though

Looks great, what size tires and rims are on the rig? Can you get any wider on the back if you wanted? Or would the springs needs to be inset with a kit?  Is there the same amunt of room in a 67?

What springs do you have in the rear?  Are they stock?

They are 14x7 rims and 215/70-14 up front and 225/70-14 in the rear, I have over an inch on each side of the rear tires so I could fit a little bit wider tire under there but before I do I would rather get the leaf spring relocation kit so I could get some nice meats under there.  I don't know if it's the same on a 67 but I'm sure someone else on here could tell you.

The leaf springs aren't the stock ones, they're the 5 leaf hd jcwhitney springs. Which I believe is close to stock
