18x8.5 and 18x9.5 on a 79 Monte Carlo?
I'm looking for some nice wheels for my 79 monte carlo project.
Found the BOSS 338 rims: http://i42.tinypic.com/2rc4d8k.jpg http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=350267290208 Will these fit on my 79 Monte Carlo? 18 x 8 Front wheels Offset: +2mm, Backspace: 4 1/2" 18 x 9.5" Rear wheels Offset: -4mm, Backspace: 5" thx guys! |
you will need some spacers but it looks close to dead on in the rear... are you running discs or drums in the rear?? .. but yea they will fit.. i have 8.5 & 9.5X18 forgelines on my 79 malibu, and thats without notching the frame.. AND the bu wheelhousings are smaller...
|
hmm okay. still stock drums but also thinking about discs - the car's still under progress
|
well then i would definately go for a wheel that required a spacer.. the disc is thicker than the drum and will space the wheel out about 1/4 inch when you swap from drum to disc... and it is ALOT easier swaping to a thinner spacer than trying to roll fenderlips, experimenting with narrower tires or having material mashined from the mounting flange...
and it looks as a heck of a deal on a great looking wheel |
Could you get away with a 10 in wide rim in the rear?On a 81 bu?
