I have a 1967 Firebird and I just scored a set of 5-spoke ZR-1 wheels with rubber for a great deal. . .they weren't what I was going to run, but I've always liked those wheels and the price couldn't be beat. They are not the 11's in the rear so I don't have to worry about mini-tubbing for now. . .I'll wait until I'm ready to get the wheels I want and have my 3-link with Watt's link sorted for the rear before I mini-tub.
These are the same wheels that Mark Steilow ran on his 1967 Camaro, Red Witch. . .does anyone know if he had to run spacers on the fonts for clearance? If so, thickness? I don't have the DSE control arms like he did, but they are on the to buy list though. I do have taller spindles with relocated steering arm mounting locations ordered and they should be here Friday.
I'm going to be pulling everything this weekend and installing new Energy Suspension polyurethane suspension bushings, aluminum subframe mounts, new spindles, new Timken bearings and oil seals, disc brakes (from drums), and new coil springs. . .I'm ordering new shocks and a new front anti-sway bar Thursday as well, but they probably won't be here in time for the weekend.
Just wondering if I will need spacers so I could some ahead of time and save some down time. . .trying to get set-up for an Auto-X event on the 25th; I may not get the rear end upgraded in time, but if I can get the font done I feel I would be adequately set-up to enjoy the car on the course.
Thanks for any help.
