A few questions on your Chevy II frame:
How much was the track width reduced in the front to achieve a full turning radius? Also, what are the wheel specs on the red Chevy II, it looks like 18" in the front and 22" in the rear? It looks like the front wheels are inset by 2" or 3". Do you have any front on pictures of this car showing the narrowed track width?
Thanks, Josh |
The track width has been narrowed to 54". The suspension geometry is the same as the wider track version to maintain the performance aspect. The frame rails have been brought in and the crossmember has been narrowed to accomplish this.
The red Nova has 18x10's with 255 or 265 tires and 20x12's with a 335/30R20 on the rear. The front wheels are not the correct back space, they were just something we had laying around. I think they are a 8" or 9" back spacing on a 10" rim. I believe the wheels can be pushed out closer to the fender slightly. In order to have room for the front wheels to turn fully, the wheels do need some room though. Sorry, I don't have any front end shots of that car with wheels on it.
