Hello...New to the board!
 

Seems as though you have a nice board here. I love pro-touring cars and figured this was the place to be.

My names Dave and I'm from North Carolina. I have a 66 Chevy II 100-series 2-dr sedan with a 406 c.i., glide, 3500 stall, 9", disc brakes (front), 3" exhaust, 17X8"s. Here are a few pics of the car. My signature has a link to look at all the pics.

Welcome to the site Dave. Looks like a super clean Nova. Im most likely moving to Charolette NC in about 6 months. Houses are to expensive in SoCal. Seems like theres alot of car guys out there even though when I lived in Fayetteville I didn't see very many. Your car looks great!!

Welcome to the board ......

Thanks guys.

I've lived in Raleigh for about 10 yrs now. I really like it out here. I have lived in MO, CA, TN, TX, and NC. Glad to hear your moving this direction. I think you'll like Charlotte.

I take it you were at Bragg? :yes:

Are you going to be at the good-guys show in october....?

-Paul

at the Charlotte Motor Speedway?

Yea ....

I will try and make it up there. Are you going?

Yea My nova is going to the inteior shop in Aug .....Should have it back by then.

-Paul

Sorry to bug ya but did you do any modifying to get the 8 inch wheel in the back? What backspacing do you have??

-Paul

I have a 9" that was narrowed a little more than stock. (Maybe 1 to 1.5" on each side?). The rear wheels are a 17X8 with 4 backspace (deeper dish) and the fronts are 17X8 with 5" backspace.
They are tucked in a stock wheel well. You have to be sure your offset is exact otherwise you will rub with 8" wheels. Measure the offset carefully before you order your wheels.

Dave

Ive already got my wheels ...As you can see in my signature if ya go to them... But i have a 7 in the back and im just not happy with it ...its etheir cut the tubs or something....


-Paul

You can fit an 8" wheel in a stock wheel well with a 5" backspace
Depending on how centered your rear end housing depends on whether your tires will rub. Personally, I think a 7" wheel looks just fine + you don't have to worry everytime you load the family in it. Looks good like it sits. :thumbsup:

Dave

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. :_paranoid
