I finally got the front wheels from Boze after 10 weeks. They look awesome! In process of installing the new narrower rear end and will be ordering the rears in a couple days.

Fronts are 17x8 with a 4.865 BS with a 245/45/17 tire. Rears will be 18x10 with a 295/35/18 tire.

The rims look great, acutally your whole car looks great. Definately will have to post up a nice view once the rear gets situated.

Thanks for the comments. Hmmmm, hadn't thought of painting the calipers Blue.....

Thanks! I've been away too long. Been busy with work and personal life...read BS. I had a ton of pics throughout the build, but a hard drive crash and a divorce resulted in lots of documentation gone.

Got the new rear end in place and measured for wheel fitment. I put a 78 Trans Am rear under my 69 Firebird with LT1 rear disc brakes. It was exactly 1/4 inch wider than the factory BOP 8.2. With a 295/35/18 tire mounted in an 18x10 wheel it is perfectly centered in the wheel well with 3/4 inch of clearance on both sides of the tire the backspacing will be 6.125. Fronts are 17x8 with a 4.865 backspacing. Absolutely no rubbing.

Ordering the rears TOMORROW!!
