Could not be more happy with the quality of this wheel.I will be very proud to rock these Rushforth wheels...thank you Jay and a big shout out to Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com for again being THE MAN when it comes to fitment advice and customer service that is second to none.
This is my 2nd set from Driverzinc this year and I very highly recommend him for all your wheel/tire and accessories needs.

That is one advantage Ty:yes: .
Sorry I wasn't able to help you out on the pictures of your wheels,did you finally get access to see them?:rolleyes:

OLDFLM 07-17-2008 02:57 PM

Jon/DriverzInc ROCKS!
 
Once again Jon came through for me and email pictures to me!

The wheels look incredible!! Can't wait to see them in person!

Looks great man....I wish I could get some. Could you post a front shot(looking at the tread) of how the Nitto 275/40/18's fit on the 10's. That is the same size I am running but on BFG KD's. Just kinda wanna see how these tires look width wise in comparison.

Thanks!

The smoked titanium is a really nice finish, which car are they going on?

As you can see,the Nitto's are pretty "square" tires w/o much buldge.This is gonna help me bigtime w/clearance...

LOL...sharp eye.:yes:

buickfunnycar.com 07-17-2008 09:40 PM

One more little detail...
 
Jon had my rear pads shaved just a bit to afford me a little bit more clearance.Notice how the rear edges of the spokes meet the edge of the pads in the fronts vs the rears as well as how much further the centercap is sunk in on front vs the rear...front b/s is 4.875",rears are a custom-made 5.625"

Front:

Rear:

I tell ya...that Jon Henson is one sharp cookie.:thumbsup:

DriverzInc 07-17-2008 09:54 PM

Thanks John! You really flatter me.... :cheers:

We are VERY happy that you received the wheels in good form, and that you are excited about putting them on your very nice camaro. That car is going to be transformed by the new wheels. Looking forward to seeing them all bolted on!

I will unfortunately be gone until Next Tuesday due to a death in the family. We will be up in Sacramento until Monday night. If anything comes up, you can try my cell phone.

Thanks again for running our wheels, and we are pleased to be of service.

I guess I should have measured them,huh Chris?:yes: I'd guess they're more than 4",looks like it to me.
I'm at work now but going off of memory,I'd say the fronts are about half of the rears,maybe a scosh less.

BallnRods 07-18-2008 10:19 AM

Forgive me for my ignorance but, what exactly is a scosh?

So tempted to put them on tonight but I gotta go work in my garage.:mad:

Gotta love the staggered wheels, that can make or break a car IMO.
Are you posting pics tomorrow? I can't wait to see it.

Yep man,tomorrow's the day.:thumbsup:
Shoulda already had them on I know...but I just got done spending another night trying to finish trimming the inside of my garage and I really want to do this during the day so I can paint the brakes a bit more before I install.
I hope to have pics up before 11am tomorrow...wish me luck!:yes:

NvrDun71 07-19-2008 02:53 PM

Way past 11, we need some mounted pics already...... :yes:

buickfunnycar.com 07-19-2008 08:58 PM

Sorry guys for the delay...

I did mount them up this morning but then we put in several hours on trying to finish up the inside of my garage so I kinda got off track.

First off,I seriously had my reservations about trying to shove a 10" wide rear on my car since it sits so low but I should have known better than to doubt Jon Henson's knowledge and years of experience when it comes to fitment.He nailed the b/s and look on my Chevelle earlier this year so I knew I was in good hands with him but still...this car is on the ground!
Jon's little tricks and advice have made me a very happy customer today and I cannot stress enough what a great asset he is to this community.Anyone who is looking for the perfect tire/wheel combo should look no further then to Jon @ www.driverzinc.com. I am so stoked...these pictures do not do the car justice.I had a couple of buddies stop by my home today along with my "car" neighbors and everyone agreed that they look SICK,SICK,SICK...!

Drumroll please...

I love these wheels...:bow: :woot:

Roger M 07-19-2008 09:15 PM

Those wheels look awesome on your car, John! The finish on them is unique and sets it apart from the rest. Seems like you go thru wheels like my son goes thru diapers. JK. Thanks for posting the pics.:cheers:

OLDFLM 07-19-2008 09:41 PM

GORGEOUS!!! Those wheels are SICK!!! Good thing mine are already done or I'd probably be changing my mind again! LOL Seriously, I love the smoked titanium on the centers! (c:] Congrats my friend!!

Now, you know your 70 1/2 is jealous of the 69 and the Chevelle... Better order up some black centered Fuel's with brushed hoops for it!

6D9 07-19-2008 11:59 PM

Looks great John! Love the smoked look. Do you get front tire to fender contact cause man that sucker is DUMPED!!!!!

JPO1970 07-20-2008 07:51 AM

Man those look good. The smoke color looks sick with the yellow. Congratulations again. So whats next?

Naw,Jon again nailed the front b/s @ 4.875" so all is cool there.:thumbsup:
I've had it even closer in front when I ran 4.5" with a 255/44-17 front but with this setup,It's all good.Even my VWW V-40's w/4.75" b/s and 245/45's clear no problem.
It is tight though but that's how I like it...:unibrow:

I think I'm all set for wheels now JPO1970,for a little while at least,lol.I've got all American-made wheels on all three of my cars so life is good!

BallnRods 07-20-2008 02:34 PM

Well John, they look great! I was dying all day yesterday bc I was so busy I didn't even have time to turn on my computer, this is the 1st time I've had a chance since Friday night. They look so good.... now I don't know if I don't want Super Spokes..... LOL.... This decision making is driving me crazy.

Choosing wheels will do that to you Chris:willy: ...best to narrow it down to 2-3 styles and then just go with your gut.:yes:

I thought I had it norrowed down to the Fuel's & Rated-X's until I saw your wheels on your car.... LOL..... I don't know, I still have time to decide.

Your Camaro is beautiful & the wheel tire package is spot on perfect.
:thumbsup:

Jon,
You need to update the pics for your camaro's lateral-g feature page.

buickfunnycar.com 08-13-2008 04:14 PM

I've thought of that Chris,is that something I do myself or do I need to send Scott some updated pics?:rolleyes:

Chevelle needs updating too...
