harleythumper Jun 12th, 09, 3:51 AM They sure make a nice product!!
Green-cars-live-forever Jun 12th, 09, 8:17 AM Good choice in wheels. They look really good.
The 4" bs in the front looks like it fits pretty good. Did you run into any issues in the front because of the bs?
sg5492 Jun 12th, 09, 11:49 AM Looks good

No issues in the front. I chose that spacing because the inset matches the rear. I even have a massive sway bar, and it clears that and the fender also.

6t7chevelleSS Jun 12th, 09, 8:59 PM I've not seen those wheels on many cars which makes them look even better. Everything about the car looks really nice!

Yes those are the same size I have. I have a 245-40-17 in the front and its 3 inches lower than stock, so a 245-45-17 should fine im sure.
Dan Bosma Jun 13th, 09, 10:21 PM Wow those look awesome! What's the color you've got on that bad boy?
That color is correct 69 GM dusk blue with parchment interior. Not too many chevelles were this color, I have only seen maybe two. Looks great in the sun light.
bdc1013 Jun 19th, 09, 3:19 PM did those wheels come with that color in the center or you had them powder coated or painted?
ed1le Jun 19th, 09, 8:56 PM I hear/read a lot of people saying that the diameter of this combo isn't large enough on the Chevelles but I think it's just right! I'm running the 245/45 - 285/40 on my 'lark.

Ya, I think so. Could have used an 18x10'' wheel. But looks good when lowered if you use 17''s.
Dan Bosma Jun 21st, 09, 1:55 AM did those wheels come with that color in the center or you had them powder coated or painted?
Those come powder coated from billet specialties. They just started to offer that for the dyno wheels. Something different. But still a little retro.
Steven's 72 Jun 21st, 09, 8:18 AM Killer Stance, WHeels look great.
