Great looking No-Go [/hijack]

Great pictures and explanation. I'm sure everyone would like to see the same done with a 67-8. Any chance of that?

Also, are you 100% sure the wheel you measured is 10" wide?

yeah, cause a 10" wide wheel will measure 11" lip to lip. <:P

Thanks Vinny! that Nova is LOW!!!!! dang! show that micro tub install off

Thanks! I also run run a 9.5 rim on my 1968 camaro with a complete Ride Tech set up in a 17" rim and I have a crazy offset at 5.5 and they are pushed out to the very edge with alot of fender massaging :hairpullout:

:wacko: yes :hairpullout: I knew I forgot to show one measurement!!! when my 68 Camaro gets to Indy I will pull it in the shop and put the very same forgeline on for everyone and I ordered that rim to exact dimensions just for the tru-turn fitment test and to have on display

on a addendum note, so after looking over different installs, my recommendation to EVERYONE is to measure your own car for its back spacing the one biggest factor I found in the installs is the brake packages that are used I found the some CPP brake kits with hubs pushes out the wheel mounting surface just over a 1/4 inch, and the some willwood kits push the mounting surface out almost a 1/2 inch, so unless you know that (you measured) the wheel mounting surface is still in the original location or you are using the very same Baer Brake package we used the 5.75 suggestion would be off by 1/2 inch, also please use the alignment settings given, make sure the sheet metal on your car is aligned, have good body bushings, the tru-turn kit pushes the tire width limit of a stock frame to max performance, so the rest of the assembly needs to be of the same caliber

Great write ups Rod! I agree that you should always measure for yourself especially with the differences in brake kits. Could you take one more measurement for me? It would be nice to have a reference with Ridetech's setup as installed, for dimension or track width to the rotor. Say from the frame to WMS, or spindle to WMS? Does that make sense? Then the rest of us could adjust by comparing that against our own brake systems to determine if our actual BS measurements seem correct.

Its probably not that important, given that we should measure ourselves, but thought it might help someone.

Thanks,

Jason

Ya...what Gray said! I'm running Wilwood 13" 1-piece rotors.

First off, thanks for the pictures and write up!

I see the car you used is a little higher than mine. Maybe I should bump mine up and realign it and see where i am at.

Here is my main question to you, and still some of the heartache I have with this setup. How do you drive a car with this setup when the fender is sitting on the wheel during a turn?? If the fender moves down at all its going right into the tire and rubbing like a mofo. (ie turning into a raised parking lot or making a high speed turn)
