John,
Sorry for the delay. All this wating and all the customer gave me was the rim size 18x9.5 and a number 5-1143 if that means anything. The company is R.H.O. out of Austrilia. Also if it helps the rearend is stock length. Sorry for the wait with no real answer!!!
Mark

I know ther are a couple of you on this forum who do rims and figured this would be a good place to start. I have a new project coming in and the customer would like a three peace rim or the look. We are stuffing a 345/35/19 viper tire under a 71 Cuda with all XV motorsports suspension front and back. Who ever responds to the thread can you submit some pics of the rims. Much appreciated!!!

Call me.. PM me if you need the number. :)

You might recognize some of the cars that pop up on the opening screen. lol

Update With New Parts And Suspension
 
Ben busy figuring things out. XV motorsports IMO isn't the greatest. There instructions,parts organization, and recieving parts isn't good. It's been months and were still missing stuff. O'well heres the latest. Had to redo the upper control arm/shock mount. The caster was way off so we had to reposition from where the instructions tell you to place it. Got that fixed. Cut out the shock tower and replated it flat for a different but cool look and better reinforcment. Put everything together for test fit and suspension check.Then welded it up. Got the new 7 spoke HRE'S today. Let me say BAD A$$ !!!!! brushed centers and black satin hoop. 19x13 back and 19x10 front w/ 345/35/19 and 255/35/19. Also check out the Bear 15" rotors and 6 piston calipers. This car is sick!!!!

Sharp looking wheels. I also went with the satin black hoops (Forgelines) - gives the tires a meater/thicker look to the side wall and looks good on the old mopars. Keep up the work - this is a sick build!

Very nice, Mark. Which HRE's are those? Are you fabbing inner and out tubs or just the inner? What was your plan of attack on those tubs?
Thanks
John

John,
I'll have to find out the part number on the rims. The customer ordered them.
As far as the tubs go I will probaly build inside and outside for good tire clearence it's pretty close and also to square it off on the outside wheel well incase the car ever gets lowered more. I'll fabricate them just like the factory so they will attach on the fender lip. Can't stand it when people attach them to the side of the body. Will post pics when I get there
