Rushforth Rated X on a '70 Barracuda - Lateral-g Forums

DRJDVM's '69 · #1 03-09-2010, 03:01 PM

I did an update on my project page but figured I would do a separate thread for the wheels since not everyone looks there when they do a "search for wheels"....

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank Jason Rushforth...he's been a great person to work with and gave me a great deal on the wheels. Thank you Jason..

So the front are 20x12 Rated X, brushed center, polished lip with a 335-30-20 tire. The 12 inch width took a long time to get but it was worth it. The perimeter bolts are on backorder, but hopefully will be here soon. I decided to just have Jason send them out without the hardware, so I could keep going on the project. The lip is 4.5 inches

The front are 19x8 on a 245-35-19. In retrospect, I could have gone with slightly more sidewall....but at the time I ordered them I wanted to make sure I could get the stance I wanted and get the car to turn at a low stance without sinking the wheel way into the fender.

The overall stance right now looks bad ass !!!

But I may have to raise the rear a tad....right now it looks like I may have some clearence issues....nothing that cant be fixed, but more work and time. In the end it may be worth it, but I'm gonna wait until I actually get a rearend under there and play with it and see what I can come up with.

Damn I love those wheels! I am getting the same ones for my 69 camaro project. They look awesome awesome Ned. BTW, what tires are you running? I am having trouble finding a 335/30/19 I like.

Looks killer, Ned. Thanks for your order, your patience getting the 20x12s and for posting the pics.

We are having such a strong first quarter, we literally ran out of the perimeter hardware but they came in and a bag full is on the way to you.
