Very mean looking...what wheels did you go with...size and BS? I assume you took into account the lowering factor when you ordered them up?

Looking good so far!

Looking good.

I'm wondering the same, definitely looks hot though

[LSXfan]

looks like Boss 338's

Thanks for the positive remarks. LSX is correct. I did take into account the lowering. I got the specs from another '68 Bird owner. 5x4.75 18x8 +2mm (4.517") and 18x9.5 -4mm (5.031") .

Looks great!!!

[BirdsThaWord]

Thanks all! Just my luck, looks like I'll be replacing my motor sooner than I expected. I think it's toast. After just buying the wheels & tires, it'll probably be a few months. Dang it! Oh well, time to go 455 or stroked 400. A blessing in disguise?

Got the itch and started the motor tear out last night. Worked til midnight. Got everything diconnected/removed except the motor mounts, tranny bolts and starter wiring. Haven't done it in a while, so I forgot how much fun a tear down could be!

That looks bad@ss. They look great on your car. Give me some shots in the Florida sunshine. Once you drop it, it will look even better.

OK, I have

18x8 4.517 BS and +2mm offset
18x9.5 5.031 BS and -4mm offset

Ok people, do not pay attention to the price. Look at the information.

I was going to run the 338's with Nitto Nt 05.Love the black center and polished lips. The total cost was $1350 for everything. Couldn't beat the price. US made and good looks. I got a screaming deal on a used set of Rushforth and Nitto 555's so I changed my mind..

Atomic is correct! I fixed what it said in the post. Sorry folks and hope that mis information didn't hurt anyone!!!
