Once I finalized my brake combo I went back to the wheel fitment check...man was that a huge PITA..... I changed hubs and hats a couple of time to get a decent track width and try and get some dish to the rim etc etc....so it was a ton of changing back and forth and measuring over and over. So I'm glad thats over. The rear was much easier since I'm having a rearend made to specs..... the front was much harder since it all turns etc. I only hope I made the right choices with the wheel BS etc...time will tell....

I used my Camaro rims as a trial just to see if a real rim/tire fit okay and check the BS one more time. I used Marty's Mount Mate to do most of the measuring but it never hurts to have an actual rim on there.


Then I went ahead and made some wheel stands. I had some wood lying around and I will need them for the rearend measuring etc so I spent a couple of hours ( is that better Greg?) making these... those are my old mock up wheels for now.
