Default Due to popular demand...Wheel Chart 2.0 has been hatched

As amazing as it sounds people just aren't satisfied with a one stop shopping list of complete suspension packages and how various wheels and tires fit on assorted mustangs with those packages.

I believe the PDF delivered versions of these charts have gone as far as they are going to go and most already contain a large cross section of sizes able to answer many questions. However the general public is a fickle woman indeed and I get ALOT of emails and see ALOT of posts around saying things like "golly gee batman this chart sure is nice but we really wish it had pictures".

I attempted to add pictures to the charts 2 years ago and it is just way too tedious an effort to 1. Update the existing entries and 2. Add new entries in the previous format. Because of this, I have upgrade my website and therefore and able to now offer wheel chart 2.0 in its infancy.

http://www.dodgestang.com/cgi-bin/pr...ts%201965-1973

This new 'permanent location' will provide two things in a single source location; the original Wheel Chart 1.0 as well as compiled albums of autos with 'light' suspension and wheel info. I say light because unlike the PDF charts where I held entrants to a high standard for completeness of information, the new album will have a more relaxed information need. I will still require at the MINIMUM complete and accurate front/rear spring, wheel size/backspacing, and tire size and I will 'request' that if you know you did something that changed the track width or there is some other funky thing about your car...you would share it.

If you wish to participate it is really easy. Email a photo (or 2) of you car and a quick description of the tire wheel and I will add it to the gallery. I've already started farming the message boards for information to include but pushing it to me is always more useful that me pulling it. Please use webmaster@dodgestang.com for this information and include the words WHEEL and CHART in the title so I am sure to get it.

That is a very nice job, young man. I thinkit would beperfect if youremoved all the pictures and put it in a simple to read PDF format

Seriously though, Nice work! If that doesn't satisfy the critics, pick up a shotgun. Looks like you've invested a lot of time and energy into this. And from what I see, it will be very benificialto others.

some amount of work that is! nice one and much appreciated!!!!
I'm getting new wheels and tires in the next few weeks, I'll measure BS and width when I pull them off.
Then I'll make pictures of the new setup so there's side to side compare.
I hope lots of people will make the effort to give pics and data
