I don't mean to hijack, but since you guys are all great with 2nd gens how big of a wheel & tire can you go under an unmodified wheeltub? I'm thinking of getting a 71 that's a nice driver. I can't afford to minitub it right now but it needs the 15x7's removed in a bad way. I was thinking of 17 or 18 x 9 or 10 in the back, is that possible? I'm going to lower it but not near as low as the awesome Gold Z. I just want to take the gap out between the tire and wheel opening on the qtr. Again, sorry to interrupt.

10 inch wheel is no problem, wearing a 295 with no mods, or a 315 if you roll the fender lip.

Here is a 315 on a car with only the lip rolled.

Thanks for the info. I might have a chance to trade my 93 Saleen for a true 73 Z28/ Type LT (73's version of the RS w/ split bumper) and I really didn't want to cut up the car but it definately needs MEATS under the car.

That all depends on how low the car sits.The lip is not usually the issue on 2nd gens the tire will hit the outer wheel well because of the way the quarter panel tapers back to the center of the car, if you look at the pick of Gonzo's car it looks like he has reshaped the area where it would contact.

Here is another part that I am working on.. Always have hated modifying the original 2nd gen spindles to fit aftermarket brakes.. So we are making our own spindle..

Looks like a forging to me! Are you making these univeral enough to mount all brands of calipers????

You caught that one Eric!

The spindle is designed as a forging.. It will be out of steel.. Right now it will use a stock Wilwood Camaro hub with a W6 Wilwood caliper.. I have it all designed & layed out but waiting to machine the first set.. The future is to use Impala custom hub with the large bearings.. Caliper brackets can be made to fit different calipers applications.. The steeing arms will be fabricated for different adjustments to the suspension mounting points..

Will the spindle and hub combo increase the track width? That is another negative to most of the aftermarket brake set-ups I've seen. It's hard enough with the stock track width to fit much tire on these cars if they are lowered.
