I don't think I can move the wheels from the The 14 Car over to the Malibu. The rears are 315's on 11" with 6.75 backspacing and they won't fit the bu without a frame notch and a thick spacers. My welder was stolen with most of my other tools a while back so I can't do a notch.

I haven't decided on a wheel design yet for the Rushforths because there's no big rush. The Baer brakes have to be installed on the Firebird first to make sure I get the backspacing right. I'm going to try to run a 285 18 on a 10" rim on the front so I have to be exact on backspacing or I'll have problems. I don't want to risk ordering wheels without having the brakes installed to see exactly where the wheel will fit in the wheelwell.
