Need wheel advice

[camrat68]

I'm about to change to a larger brake package that won't allow me to retain the 15" wheels and tires currently on the car. My intention is to order some good forged wheels but I won't be able to do that until I can take some measurements after I install the brake package. I've heard about how long that it could take to get wheels delivered and I don't want to have the car on jack stands all Summer. The alternative would be to buy some temporary rims new or used I guess.

What did you all do?



Thanks,
Jim

most wheel companies have an idea of what fits a stock car and can adjust for brake packages from companies like Baer, wilwood or Kore 3,, so you can order them now and get them when your done, if your piecing the brakes together then you do have to wait to see what you end up with, most of my major mods are done over the winter (November, December, January) that way its doesn't interfere with our racing schedule

Jim, do you know what size you are looking for? I can look around to see if we have anything ready for powdercoat. If not, we may be ably to get something out quickly. Send me a PM or give me a call.

Thank you

Jim, our current build time is 3-weeks plus shipping with a powder coated center and polished outer rim. All FORMULA 43 wheels are custom built to order for each specific application. I work directly with you or your car builder to determine the best/optimum tire and wheel package that works with the brake, suspension and body modifications that you've completed or will eventually do. It's important the consider all of this, so that the wheels suit your needs for many years to come.

Feel free to contact me via PM or [email protected] or at 734-432-0260 ext. 101.

Thanks and Good Luck!

What I have is a 1968 Camaro with a stock subframe and stock wheel wells front and rear. I currently have 225/60R15's on 15x7" 4 1/2" BS on a Master Power disc conversion in front with 275/60R15 on 15x8" 4"BS on a Moser 12 bolt C-Clip eliminator rear with stock drum brakes.

I'm going to a ridetech Tru-Turn front suspension with upper and lower StrongArms,HQ series coil overs, and their MuscleBar, as well as their spindles. PN11009300. For brakes, I'm going with Wilwood's 140-9803 in the front and 140-5237 in the rear both of which require 17" or larger wheels. I wanted to go 275mm all the way around with a 25-26" front tire and a 27" rear tire. My car is black and yellow and I was looking at a five spoke wheel with a black center and polished outer lip preferably in 17". From there, I'm not sure. :D
