Default Rushforth & BFG's should be here next week

Overnighted my balance to Jon with Driverz Inc yesterday. The wheels are done and the tires should be in his shop in the next day or so. I got the 19 & 20 Rushforth Superspokes in brushed centers and polished lip and BFG tires. I chose to go with same same sizes that are on the Foose 71 Chevelle. Can't wait to get them!!!

Considering the same rims. If you don't mind what backspace did you get? please post pics when you have them on.

For the rear it was going to be 5 3/4 put jom went to 5.8something to allow for the disc brakes. To be honest I forgot what the front was. Maybe if Jon sees this post he could chime in.

Can't wait to see 'em man...did you opt for the exposed hardware or not?
I went a bit smaller then you on my Chevelle,Jon set me up with 18x9's & 18x10's w/275/35's & 305/35's and I couldn't be happier.
My front b/s is 5.5" and my rears are 5.75" and they fit like a glove...

Congratulations I like the stagger on that Foose Chevelle. They should look sweet on your car. I'll keep checking for updates They are nice wheels.

You did mean to say polished lip,right...?
Just checking...because if your car still has all of it's chrome,the polished hoops will set it off nicely...and should be a nice contrast against the brushed centers.
Good call man ...and way to resist going with the polished centers for a more tougher look.
