My car is just out of paint, getting assembled and some glass and then she will be home - I have been sweating bullets trying to figure out what tire/wheel combo will fit on a totally aftermarket pro-tour build
      I had MANY of the random "I need to go in the garage to measure something" quote to my wife for months trying to ensure that the wheel back space and width would be perfect on the car. I measured a couple 1969 camaro's with nice fitting wheels/tires from outside to outside and worked backwards from there to make sure that my wheels were correct. It is SUPER stressful buying wheels and hoping that you get the proper measurements for a custom setup!
