Default new wheels!

Got my rear wheels on. Notched the inner fender well and they fit very nicely. tires are 275/35/18. I want to drop the reara bit but cant till i put a 4-link in so i can shorten the rear a couple of inches. Also I took the car for a nice drive today. first one! drove on the freeway and was real impressed with the AOD. With 4.11's the car was only turning 2000 rpms at 65ish. Putting in a 24 inch aluminum radiator next.

eh...... theyre ok. i like how wide the back tires are tho. that looks good. but for an 18" rim you went with the wrong style. they look like something a "you know who" would put on a mustang. But hey your not done with the car yet so i bet the wheels will really set off the car when your done with the paint! i love the rear spoiler! looks great

cost, i dont remember...check there website. but yes the gapping is bad. need a lot of work to fit.

1970coupe...why is it the wrong style?

I think it will look great once the rear is lower. I dont like the stance but once the 4 link is in and the wheels are tucked it will look great.
