Here is a photo of the Super Spoke in all polished, but funny enough, I don't have a picture of a set that has been ordered that way. I do have a customer down the street that has a 57 Chevy that was painted by Barry's Speed Shop, but the car is in a million pieces, front clip off and all. Nice car, with a morrison Chassis. When it's back together, I will be sure to get photos. He did 19's and 20's.
This was one of his wheels.... he optioned for no hardware. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e9...ke_norivet.jpg |
Well I think a set just like yours Jon in an 18x8 and 18x10 is what my 72 Chevelle needs. I want to go 20's on the rear but that may be a bit much with the profile of a 72. A 66, 67 Chevelle or that Tempest works with 20's
I must have decided on at least 20 different wheels only to find myself waining after a few days. Thats why I didn't say much about these. It's bee a week and I still love them over everything so the superspokes is the ticket for me. |

im with jon. the large a bodies need a large tire. when running a 28+" tall tire with 18's its just too much tire. run at least a 19 or look into the 305/35/20 nittos.

ive got a pic of one at home. it was at the good guys show and was running a 295/40/20 bfg. it looked real good. ill post a pic when i get home from work on monday.

Yep, I'm with Tim and Jon. That's a big car with a big quarter panel and wheel opening. They have more room than Jon's 66 and you liked the look of that so the proportions will be spot on if you get the stance right.
Remember the burnt orange Chevelle that was on one of the first Overhaulins? 19s and 20s as speced by Foose and he knows a thing or two about proportions and stance. Can't find a pic of it at the moment but if you do, that will tell you how it fits and how you'll like it. IMO, it's just right for that car with a 2 or 3" drop. |
yep that was for the parts guy at opg. living only 20 minutes from there, ive seen it in person and its got a bitchin stance.
a 275/40/18 is a little narrow and a little short. 295 fit with ease, 305's will if you pay attention and even a 315 if youre REAL careful. the problem with running a narrow tire to make sure it fits is the fact that its sucked in too far. from the side you cant tell, but a 3/4 view shows how narrow the track width is. it just looks a little weird. solve your rearend issue and stuff a big tire in there. |

Getting the stance right is what I am worried about. I have to rely on my friends to help me as I am not a skilled mechanic by any means. The foose car was a 71 and I attached a pic. Cost is another issue because I still need to buy tires and my wifes 65 Mustang goes in to be restored. I know the 19's and 20's cost more. I do believe he is running a 295/40/20 on an 11 inch wheel and still appears to have some sidewall. I am still undecided if I like it on a 70 thru 72. |
