well, after aligning the car ran into a huge snag; the front wheels will not work. I used a 17X8" with the largest bs they offered at 4.75" but it's a no-go with the 245/45 tire. This combo works great on a Camaro, but not the early Chevelle.

So I once again called Frank at Prodigy/GP Superstore and he just happened to have a set of wheels with the proper offsets to work with the car. I'll post pics once I have them on the car. He assures me I'll love them.................. :D I'm like :willy: Thanks Frank, this was a deal buster as far as making Power Tour. :thumbsup:

Jody

Oh yeah new shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :woot:

I smell Forgelines........

I hope so that would make the car in my opinion :unibrow:

It is always something...:faint:

What wasn't working, tell us. We are so many following this and are behind you so we want to know more. I guess they hit something when turning. What specs will the new ones have.

Keep up the spirit, you'llmake it. :thumbsup: :cheers:


Jan

the mistake was that Mark Stielow had used a 17x8" with 5.25" bs and the wheels I bought offered a max of 4.75". I swapped to AFX spindles that got .300" or so back, but I was still 1/4" or so further out, and it flat won't work. The tires are rubbing at 15 degrees of wheel turn, which isn't much, even with 1 degree of camber....:yes:

Gentlemen, Jody is getting our newest and new favorite wheel! That's all I can say for now. I cannot wait to get them on this car! Sick I tell ya, absolutely sick! He gets the first set and if I could choose a car to debut them on, this would be it.



Jody, this nightmare wheel thing is going to turn into a dream you did not know you had.



Stay tuned guys!



Thanks for trusting us Jody.

when can we expect the pics of the new wheels?

I told Jody that he shouldn't post any pics of the wheels until they are mounted so we can get the maximum shock and awe factor. :D

The wheels are bad. :woot:

Frank to the rescue.
