[1Fine69]

I might have to go with different rims because of backspacign issues. What would look good on my car. Im thinkin chrome lip with dark centers and studs. Tell me what you think and leave a link or pic for the wheels if you could. Thanks!

Are those Budnik Fontanas?

[Todds69]

Which wheels have the wrong backspacing...the fronts look good the rears may look as if they need more. Hard to tell from the pic. What is the size, width, and spacing your running now?

[1Fine69]

245/17 in front and 275/18 in rear the fronts hit tie rods because i have 2 inch drop spindles now. i need 4.5 inches or less of backspacing and i have 5 right now. The picture i sent you is before the gw upper and lower control arms, spindles and dropped springs. And yes they are fontanas.

I love the Fontana's, so since you have to replace them I would just replace the front two. If you want a new look you can have Budnik brush them and leave the lip polished...my 2 cents....I just read your other, put the stock spindles back on.

I take it no mini-tub or narrowed rear-end in it? I like the look of the Fontanas you have.

umm........


why not just change the spindles?

[1Fine69]

I wasnt going to but now i am! me and pops fianlyl agreed that its the best way. back to stock!

You have 3 inch drop springs in the rear? Your car sits a little high for that much drop. The car looks great. I have a 69RS same color with white stripes. I have the Vintec dish by Billet Specialties. 17 x 7 front 4.5 bs they fit really well. I wish I had gone with a 235 tires. I like the thinner look. I have 17 x 9.5 w/275/40/17 rear. Had to trim the fender lip a bit. I am going to lower it another inch. What type of springs did you use in the rear?

the picture in my sig is before i did all teh suspension work. i think i should take it off because it misleads to many people. the back is verrrry low now and im just going to keep the stock spindles with gw upper and lower c-arms and if need be ill do the guldstrand mod. its should be easy with the tubular arms!
