just finished putting the axles in the rear, and fitted the wheels on the back, havent got to the front yet. were gonna do that when my brother gets off work tonight. but heres some pics of the swap so far.


got the 5-lug axles in


me test fitting the wheels on the back


got the drums on and the quad shocks out


wheels on the back


i love my stalker bumper


with the crappy front wheels on (thats what you get when you never finish taking the paint off of wheels)


17X10.5's with 275's (needs wider tires on the back, but i had them and they fit, so whatev)


tryin to compare with the chevelle's 16" torque thrust's


ive always wanted a deep dish wheel on my car, and now that i have it, ITS SICK!!


lookin good?

lemme know what you guys think. im in love with it, i cant wait to get the front wheels on!!!!

WOW, looks much better. and it would look even better if it had 315's on the rear instead of 275's!

black_89gt

yes, i completely agree, but i dont really have the money to do that at the moment, and i already had the 275's from the cobra r's that i had on there b4, so they went on there. i will be getting some eventually, and i have to find a 2nd set of throw around wheels now.

Looks really good...i plan on getting a used set of those same wheels...deep dish on foxes make it look like a beast[:@]

those wheels go with your car PERFECTLY...but how the HELL did you fit 17x10.5s on the rear? all i have ever been told is that it would NEVER work on a fox..

Shelty

+1 I want to know too. did you massage the wheel well and roll the lip?

cuz I was always told that 17x9s were tight and anything larger needed minitubbing...

looks good man and i hope u plan on puttin back on the quad shocks unless your swappin in new stronger control arms soon or your gonna get a good amount of wheel hop action........

but damn that is nice lookin on the black and 10.5 rim.........bfh....?

jtmustang

id say u beat the inners as in the 1 photo u could tell.

but did u roll the fender lips too

ahh and no quads from the big *** wheel...gotcha..

Car looks great. i noticed you had some four lug ponies i am in Georgia also do you want to get rid of the ponies?

black_89gt

yes, a bfh was used on the inner fenderwells, the lips havent been rolled yet, but they will be, they fit in there pretty snug. theres no clearance issues with the outside lip. but major clearance issues on the inner fenderwells. with any bigger of a tire i wouldve had to do a lot more modification
