When I was at his house a while back the only wagon he had was the NICE homebrewed red 66 2 door wagon.

The red '66 was the one I was talking about. It was on their show this past weekend. Had some fat rims that looked like 17's but I'm not sure.


Thanks!

I was with him when he bought wheels and I think it was the ones that are on the wagon in that picture.
Again I *think* they are 17's but I really wasn't paying that much attention cause I was busy looking at all the other wheels in the store.

Do you know IMA 71NUT ? (he was there too)

They are 17 X 9". I am not sure on the backspacing.

OK, the red '66 wagon... currently has 17x8-inch, 4.25 B.S., polished American TTIIs with 255/45x17 Comp T/As. That's the setup that was on it when Danny snapped that pic at CB'05.

But if you're asking about the rims that were on it when it appeared on HPTV a while back, they were 17-inch American 200s... 8-inch up front with a 4.5 inch backspace; out back the rims are 9.5-inchers with a 5-inch B.S and mounting 275/40x17 rubber. BTW, the tires are Goodyear Eagle F1s.

The bigger rim/tire combo rubbed a tad when in sever load or turnign situations, while the 8-inchers don't even come close to making contact. HTH!

Thanks Chuck! That is exactly what I was looking for, and I was takling about the wheels that were shown on Horsepower.
