Looks great John. What is your ride height relative to stock, approximately? How many inches lower than stock?

I have a 69 Chevelle and really like your stance!

You know I'm not sure since that's how the car sat when I bought it in 2001.
If I had to guess,I'd say it's at least 2-3 inches lower than stock but I'd be happy to measure for you if you'd like.
A couple of guys thought I should lower it even further but I like the ride height right where it is...especially on the Nor Cal roads I travel on.

Thanks John....no need to measure. That's about what I thought. I think that combo would look good on my 69 as well. I'll be about 2-3 inches lower than stock too. I was going to go with 315/30/18 in the rear but I don't think that would give me enough sidewall.

postino - youre right..... not enough sidewall and waaaayyy too short of a tire imho. look for something closer to the the 27" range. im personally going with a 305/35/20 which is 28.4" tall. yours comes out to about 25.4. my front tires are taller than that.

Are these wheels available in 18x12s for the rear? I want some gorilla 335s on back, also what are the available B.S. for awheel that large? Man! A set of those would look great on my Z. Love em! Tony

Thanks guys for all the nice compliments,I am totally happy with the fitment and the look.They are like a modernized version of what I had (AR CL205's) and yes,they fit the theme of what I try to do to all my cars to a T!

Since they're custom made Tony,you can have them in any width you desire but anything over a stock 10" wide width...which these are...will cost you to have them widened.Contact Jon Henson @ www.driverzinc.com for some great advice & pricing.I was originally going with 335/30's on an 11" wide wheel but shelved that because I thought it would be too tight...and it would have been very tight.Here's a picture of the mockup w/the 335's:




I agree they would have looked sick but I would have to have nailed it dead nuts to pull it off...and I don't think I'm that good.

Did I say it looks SWEET? Great pictures John, and I'm happy that you are happy, and that the end result came out perfect. Thanks for the biz, I'm just happy to help a fellow enthusiast achieve the look he was going for, and to be a part of your car.

I'll apply my driverzinc sticker proudly Jon...to say I'm happy with the wheels and the service is a huge understatement

Send me a few license plate frames if you got any laying around and I'll rock those too.

I'm telling you...it pays to know the owner.

Thanks Jon.
