We specialize in fitting muscle cars with wheels. Give me a call at the shop and we go over your car and build a set of wheels that will fit your application. We carry just about every major wheel manufacture including New Gen, Bonspeed. Forgeline, Billet Specialties, and Rushforth. We do this everyday and know what works.

Coys won't clear those brakes without large spacer. You need nearly a 2" pad to clear those brakes. We install quite a few of these DSE subframes in our shop and sell quite a few mail order. In fact I have another on the way for my next personal project. Fitting them with brakes, wheels, tires both in our shop and on projects we are consulting gives us plenty of real world experiance, look around our website.

A 10" wheel with a 6.125 BS with spoke clearance over 1.8 will do it. A 275/35/18 tire is perfect on this set up

Which Coy's are your trying to match?
