Since Sam asked for a couple of pictures if possible, and I had a little time earlier today I pulled a front and rear out of the box

At first I jusst set them up against the car, but with all the spokes his wheels have, plus all the spokes mine have, as you looked at them it looked kinda busy :lol:

so I just got the jack out real quick and set one of his on the rear of my car...his fronts won't fit on my car since they are only 17" and not enough to clear my front brakes (I have 18" all around)

So can see that the 17" fits over my rear brakes just fine at least! (330mm) and the offset seems good as well, asuming you have flares and all Sam? lol...

Enjoy

2 more....

Kinda handy having a Torana around for cases like this I suppose, ha ha...

Oh, and Sam....on the rear....since I am running a 9" with axles made to suit the offset of the baer brakes,on your car they may sit a little further in? But figure you ordered them after measuring just what you have. That said as you can see they would still clear on my car as is as well ! My wheels sit just a little further in I reckon but I had them made to suit how I wanted. I will end up with a little wider tire eventually I think too (have brand new ones on it now, but they are only 265/35's that I got a deal on... 275's will fit easily as well)

Thanks for the effort, Jeff. I love 'em! Lucky...

I have a standard length 9-inch, so figuring they will be a little further in than on yours, as long as they fill the guards nicely. Going to have to paint up the brakes, though!

L32M20: I know these wont be to everyone's taste, but hey! It's my car. :-) There's a method to my madnees, which will hopefully pay off when it's all built. I'll do a thread in the member's build in the next few months.

Thanks for all the stuffing around Jeff, they are just what I was after, considering the price I was limited to. Appreciate it!

No problem at all! I wouldn't have had the time when I get to loading containers but happy to help since I did have the time today to mock them up for ya.
