New rims going on

[ho428]

Starting mocking everything up, looks like I'll need a 3/8-1/2" spacer in the rear until I get the disc rotor installed. It being thicker than the drum will help, but it'll still be tight.

8" x 17" front with 4 1/2 BS, 245/40/17
9" x 17" rear with 5" BS, 275/40/17
Hoosier R6's

The inner fender on the rear is going to be tight, the section width of the 275 is narrower (11" vs 12") than what I was running but I had a 4" BS then. The sidewalls flexed a lot on the 15" bias, and the inner would rub under hard cornering, I'm hoping the shorter 17" sidewall won't do that.

Not rim related but I changed out the hood to a VFN fiberglass 400 hood, and I'm working on the filler panel for the glass bumper.
Also added the front spoiler and I'm screening in the lower valance openings to get some down force.
All totaled I dropped 75 lbs off the front so far.

I think I'll paint the bumper body color, the dark color gives it a sinister look and will look good with the new rims I think.
