I think those wheels looks good on either one :dunno: And the taillight covers should probably go, I think it would look better without.


P.S.-I want your TY...lol

One thing else I noticed that I need are longer studs.
I'm running extended lug nuts so all I really need is a stud that is ~ .25 - .375 longer.

What size are these studs, 12x1.5?

Be prepared for a lengthy wait. I'm still waiting for my fronts to arrive from China.
I guess they can't find any lead free paint to paint them with.:rotf:
FYI, I paid in full on July 12 of this year.

I am supposed to receive my front wheels this week.:tup:
Which means I can roll the Sy out of the garage to get my x-mas decorations down & take some pics with the new wheels on.

The fronts are 8.5" with a 56mm offset & the rears are 9.5" with a 40mm offset. This way I just needed 3/8" spacers for all four corners to get the correct wheel spacing.
I haven't decided if I want to install the spacers on the front yet.

First: That is very nice stuff in those pics. :tup: A PRIME example of lots of money well-spent.

I recall from somwhere, that an AWD or 4X4( in 4-wheel drive) likes to have a wider front track, (in relation to rear) so that the driveshaft speeds remain appx the same during turns. The rear wheels scribe a slightly shorter radius in a turn than the fronts. After the fronts are differentiated, the wider stance results in the 'slower' pinion speed of the rears. Something like that...

Last: On "DreamWheels" what is the mfg of your wheel? Just curious. They are REALLY a sharp looking piece.

^Previously stated by 4CE FED...

I have the 18 x 9.5s for my fronts and 18 x 10.5s for rears in the same style wheels... Fronts need no spacing whatsoever, just some notching of the front side of the upper a-arm for clearance. Rears needed a 1/2" spacer and longer wheel studs. I got a set of ARP 2.5" wheel studs for the rear and ground 5mm off them to make the new lugnuts fit, since they aren't an open design. I recommend grinding the studs BEFORE installing them. At their full length they're a royal PITA to install, but it's do-able with the right tools and a TON of patience.

I'll post some pics of my setup with exact specs in the near future. I'm just waiting on some decent looking brakes to put behind the wheels, but they're not going to be available until Feburary (I'm going to be the guinea pig for them).
