Dave at Restore A Muscle Car helped me size the Year One Billet Honeycombs. 18x12 on the rears with 18x9 on the front. He even contacted the sales guy at Detroit Speed who sold me my Quadra Link and Moser Ford 9" to get the specs in order to make sure the wheels were correct. I'm looking forward to getting them on the car once the new suspension work if finished.
The front suspension in now all going to be PTFB. Ride Height Adjustable coil-overs, which required a bit of cutting on the front frame and a prototype bracket, replacing the original unused PTFB tubular control arms with newer ones designed for the coilovers. Also swapped out the still unused PTFB sway bar for a newer adjustable model. New C-6 spindles to mount the Willwood 6P brakes and 14" rotors. I ordered the new PTFB steering box to upgrade the steering performance and ordered the rear Wilwood 4p kit with 14" rotors as well.
Here are a few pics of the wheels which came in last night. I pulled an old 15x7 snowflake out the back for comparison. Just a little bigger.
