Damn nice car Gearhead, perfect stance and the paint really flames up in the sun. I'm thinking about going with the Intro Vistas w/ 5.75" backspace, as my "0" offset (5") wheels with 285/40's sit on the wheel lip.
Did you end up BFHammering the wheel lip out to get your 295's to fit? I think you had 5.5" offset ??

Thanks for the compliments! The pictures really make the car look better than it is. It is in need of a paint job. I did have to do some work on the rear wheel wells. I pretty much have factory inners but the outer I kind of mini-tubbed. There is a hump that sticks out into the well just above the lip. I cut all that out and fabbed up a new section for that so that it goes straight up. It effectively made the wheel well about an inch bigger. Now the only other thing was that I trimmed the wheel lips and moldings about 3/8". I have plenty of room now, and could probably go to 305s with a little more trimming.
The car is lowered three inches all the way around. It has OPG spring in the back for a 67 chevelle. The front, I just cut the springs till I had it where I wanted it. I have just a little rubbing in the front if I am not careful in parking lots. Otherwise I can pretty much rip around with no issues.
