Props to BOZE Wheels

[dcozzi]

I recently bought a set from them and they were great to work with, very responsive and helpful. They got them to me on schedule too!

[Astro Blue]

Looks great. What size and backspace are they?

[dcozzi]

18X9.5 Front w/6.0" BS
18X12 Rear w/7.5 BS
and thank you. It's been a long road getting this car done.

[Astro Blue]

How did you decide on those backspacing numbers? Stock width rear end?

How did you decide on those backspacing numbers? Stock width rear end?

For the front, I have the stock subframe so I had to go as far inward as I could without rubbing the sway bar and subframe (it still slightly does). I also had to go to at least an 18" wheel to clear the UBJ. I also asked a lot of people what they were using if they looked like they had a similar setup but, the best thing I did was get a wheel measurement tool from Ingenuilty Fab and Speed. I actually bought a cheaper 18" wheel with 5.75" backspace to do an actual test fit after measuring. It was a $130 investment I will use as a spare tire. The Wilwood hubs also brought the wheel out +.13" so the only reference point I had was the actual car.

The rear is custom so I dropped plumb bobs from the mounting face, fender lip. inner lip, marked the floor with sharpie on masking tape, took measurements then confirmed with the measurement tool. It has a watts link so the rear does not move side-to-side at all but I left about .5" because the 3-link rear articulates and, when it does, it moves the tire edge inward/outward. A leaf spring car would probably need .5" or more clearance on each side to be safe from rubbing.

Honestly, I ran front and rear suspension through it's travel and steering cycles on jack stands and measured about a million times. Thought it over just as much too. Wheels are expensive. Hell, I have as much in tires and wheels as I have in the motor.

I agree... Zach was great to work with but unfortunately they didn't meet the delivery schedule given to me when I ordered, 3 weeks ago gave me a new delivery date of December making it 6 months from day of ordering. Disappointing but I understand given the BS we are dealing with now days.
I know they will be badass whenever I do get them.

Bummer about the wait.
I agree about the delays we have on everything these days. It can be one little thing and it just trickles down the line for tons of other stuff.
I'm sure they will be sweet when you get them though. They seem to really like what they do and are proud of their work, for good reason.

Thanks. Just don't tell anyone I do not have an LS or modern trans.

Car looks killer. Im trying to work out my wheel and tire combo on my 73 now.

Here is what it looked like before current revamp.

[NCSU68]

Very through job on the wheels and they look perfect for your car!

I see you have a Lateral Dynamics rear suspension. How do you like it? How is it working for you?

[redmanf1]

Spoke color goes nicely with the color of the car.

I have talked with Zach a few weeks ago about my project, as everyone already stated he was awesome to deal with.

I can't order my wheels until my chasis comes in to get the best measurements. As soon as I do BOZE will get my business for sure!

So is it a 6 month wait for rims? I havent decided who to go with but does anyone have a faster turn around time?

I don't think it's a 6 month wait call Zach at BOZE.
