Love this too. How's the ride?

Thanks guys

Looked at the red caps when he purchased the rims, we thought maybe too much red.
We are thinking of painting the gray inserts black. If we do that then I think it would look better with the red caps.
As far as the gray inserts, in the photos they do have a blue tint to them now that you say it, don't notice that in person. I would like the gray to have been a little darker tho.

Only drove it a couple miles last week. It drive,rides and handles really nice.
We got QA1 coil overs on all four corners. We are still messing with the ride height.

We couldn't get the same brand in 255 and 235
Diamondback will cut for you whatever size or manufacturer tire available to them per your order

That IS nice.

The body lines on a 76 are the same as 75. Only difference is the bumpers. Would be no problem. Here is a 76 resto mod with 79 10th anniversary wheels. The scoops look really cool with that nose. They also cut the rare fiberglass hood for a scoop. What a shame. I would love to have that motor however, a nice 455

a popular combo ive seen on the forums is 245/45/17 front and 275/40/17 rear (some go a bit wider on rear, one guy went to a 315 but it was very tight)

[Formula jg]

Will that combo leave a larger gap between the tire and the fender/quarter openings?

[hada76]

yes...most guys do some susp. mods to lower car when going to a 17" wheel. ive also heard of using a 50 series tire to fill some of the gap.

[kustom66]

20x10 on the rear and 20x8 in the front, lowered just a tad

[Curly Joe]

Kustom66, post a bigger pic

[kustom66]

i am not very computer savvy and the wifes asleep i will try to figure it out tomorrow, keeps telling me my pics are to big for the file not sure on how to make them smaller

[A.J.]

Don't save it as a.bmp as it not compressed. Save pictures as .jpg instead and you will have no problem posting them eventhough they're larger.

275 50 Nittos on back with 17"x9.5" TTIIs with 5.5 bs. 61 1/4" outer drum to drum 12 bolt rear. Wheels and tires fit perfect with no modifications.

Fronts are 255 60 Nittos on 17"x8 with 4.75 bs. I had to massage the front lower fender lips for the front wheels/tires to work.

17" x 9.5" American Racing 200s with 5.25" BS all 4 corners. Center caps are a set of PMD red on black originals.

Does anyone have any pictures of a 17x7 or 17x8 Crager Eliminator 500 on their 64-65 GTO? I would also like to know what tire size you are using.

Thank you,
