I know, I've made a thread like this before when I had JUST put them on, but, I finally got a chance to take some 3/4 view(think that's what that angle is called) pics, and I think you guys can agree that it's wide and is badass.







And obviously right outside my house.
28 psi all around which flattens it out to about 10-10.5" of tread width, which you can obviously tell by how far the front sticks into the grey area next to the sidewalk.
Also no rubs anywhere
A couple of things to keep in mind for anyone else going to run this setup on a lowered car: my front fenderwell lips are rolled and I've moved all the inner fender bolts from the top to the sides. Also, I've ground down the rear fenderwell lip maybe a 1/16"-1/8", and I still have drums in the back.
700 lb/in springs in the front, with stock leafs in the back with AFCO street shocks all the way around and 1-1/4" swaybar in front with 7/8" ADCO bar in the back, and PTFB upper control arms with tall BJs and stock lowers with polyurethane bushings. Sway bars have polies everywhere and so do the leafs.

I've been toying with the idea of buying these for my car. Look awesome. I'm still trying to get some feedback from YO as I have LS calipers on the rear and want to make sure they clear. Looks great man.

Thanks . Yes, that would be important to find out . I'm worried that if I have discs on the back, the tires will stick out a bit.

The 17" Snowflakes clear C5 brakes, so they'll clear LS1's by a long shot.

What are people doing for wheel studs and nuts? The YO 17" Snowflakes clear but they use special 7/16-20 lug nuts and your tall spindle 325mm brake kit only offers 1/2-20 or M12x1.5 studs. I am looking at this same set up for a 77 TA.

Thanks

Cool thanks Tobin

I managed to find of three sources for the 12x1.5 lug nuts for Snowflake wheels. I don't know for sure that these will fit, but there is a good chance that they will.

I did not find any 1/2x20 lug nuts this style.

Please let me know if you find out anything from Year One, Marty Thomas.
