Here are some pics of my wheels. Rearend isn't in the car yet and it's sitting on jack stands. Just propped them up to see how they look.

They are Foose Monterey's 18 x 10 and 18 x 8's with Nitto 555 245 and 295's

both front and rear are 45zr18's.

Got them from Newstalgia wheel, it took 8 weeks to get them, They have a custom rear offset of 4.5".

those look pretty nice, congrats!

They look very cool :cool:

Are you running a custom-width rear axle, or is that 4.5 B.S. a typo? 10" wheel with 4.5" B.S. won't work very well with a stock axle. :o

I like the "made in Mexico" box.... haahahaha

Rims and tires look awesome.... damn now why can't I decide on what rims to put on the Elky.....

Those look cool, give the car a "hotwheels" toy kinda look, nice...

Yes, the rearend is a Strange S60 and it has been shortened 3" to gain an 1.5" on each end, still have 1/2" space to the fender, and 3/4" space to the frame. Shoud tuck real nice.

Damn, you guys don't miss anything. I never noticed that... it's the box for my Tremec 5 speed. Didn't think it was made in Mexico.

There was a chapter from overhaulin with two cars for two sisters.
one of them was a Chevelle Malibu 68 and it used Foose Monterrey wheels.
I remember they looked just great, so much that i thought that maybe i'll buy that tires too.

Do you have a picture just from the side, no angles ?

Thx !

I thought that box looked familiar. I had the same made in Mexico emblem on the box
(T-56) that sat under my car forever.

The wheels and backspacing had me scared for a minute. Glad you have the custom rearend!

Welds are clearly visible on the back side.. but no spatter, looks like they did a clean job.

Yeah... it will probably sit under there for another 8 months. Gotta save up for a motor to attach it to. ;)

Sorry to hear about your Job... Not to get political here, but a certain candidate wants to redistribute the wealth by overtaxing the rich and corporate America.

How many more jobs will go overseas to avoid these taxes???

Anyway, sorry to hear about your job, hope you find somethin' soon.
