Amazon: - New rims

39 Chevy Coupe · Jan 11th, 2009, 13:03

Finally got round to getting some tyres for the new rims.
rears 8 inch with 205/70 and front 6 inch with 175/60 to give it a bit rake.
Might go for 185/65 on the front as I think it looks a bit lost in the arch.
Also thinking of taking the whitewalls off.
What do you think ?

Ooooh nice ! back wheels look well chunky, I think I agree with you about the fronts , a wee bit lost ,the 185's would fit nice. Whats the offset did you have to adjust the steering lock ?
I love that peep mirror is that clamped to the top of door frame I was thinking about one like that rather than drill door.
The frosty pic looks grand

Do you need to carry two spares ?
