Hey guys,
I bought a pair of Bonspeed Huntington's from a member of the forum and I finally got my tires for them and also got them mounted and balanced. I got to put them on this week to see how they would fit. They are 18x10's with 285/30 BFG KD's. The backspacing is 5.5 inch. I was a little worried about the backspacing, because I have noticed that most people are using a 5.75 inch backspace with a 10 inch wheel, but they fit perfectly. I was not able to roll the lips yet, I will be able to get to that this weekend, but as you can see in the pics, the tires sit below the wheel lips anyway. I have Hotchkis drop leafs in the rear and drop coils in the front, with QA1 stocker Star 12-way adjustables on all four corners as well. I may also drop the car an added inch in the near future, but for now it will do. I would also have rathered to have a tire with a little more sidewall, as it would help to fill out the wheel well a little better, but I got these at an unbelievable price and I couldn't pass them up. Anyways, I am waiting to receive the two front wheels from Bonspeed and I already have the tires for them, so hopefully soon. Check out the pics and let me know what you think. Thanks guys!
(Please excuse the rear drum brakes as I have yet to be able to afford the disc package I need) - needed to buy wheels to have enough room for 13" rotors!
