Default Tire/Wheel info

63Banshee,

Out back I am using a beefed up 72 Nova 8.5" rear which is 60.5" wide (mounting face to mounting face) approx 2+" wider than stock. I purchased the two 7" (actually closer to 8") steel repop rims from the ThePartsPlace...these have over 4.5" backspace! (w/ a 4.75" pattern)...I mounted BF Goodrich Radial TAs 255 60 15s .... I was very concerned about being too close but luck was on my side....I think I could have mounted 275 60 15s! Most people that have seen the car love the meats on the back.

Up front I mounted P205 60 15s ... on some used 6" Impala rims (4.75" pattern) I blasted and painted. I had the rotors and hubs redrilled to the 4.75" pattern ($70 for both) at the local fab shop...they did it correctly based off true center ($ well spent). Thus I can run the 64-72 poverty caps and basically any 4.75 pattern wheels! and have a single spare.

Default Trans Tunnel pics

Missed posting these progress pics on the completed trans tunnel. My buddy Rob Livingston did all the work...we used 2" thick foam attached to the top/sides of trans to crate the right size hole and patch panels for mock up... making sure I had the proper breathing room.... he but welded ground both sides.. after seam sealer and paint it looked nearly factory!

And yes the trans went in and out easily...all trans bolts were reachable by hand... however having the BOP to Chebby trans adapter plate (for the 700R4) moves the top bolts lower to a more accessible location.
