Revive an older thread....

Decision made - wheels on order.

I narrowed the 9" rear axle BACK to stock width.

Got the axle in this weekend.

The wheels I went with are a one-off set for my car.

I'm still waiting on them...will post pictures as soon as I can.

They came yesterday.

Dropping them off at Discount Tire today for a fresh set of Nitto something or another.

I test fit them on last night....PERFECT. The rear will be close - but no closer than it was with the 18" rear C5 rims and Goodyear runflats.

Guys...These wheels look amazing.

We had them powdercoated and clear coated in silver titanium.....

They are sort of a blend of many popular wheels styles on the market right now.

I liked a little of everything I had seen...but wasn't able to zero in on one specific pre-made set up.

Pics to come. I'll get the tires on today, mount them tonight...take some pics this weekend.
