That's a stock width rearend so it's only about a 4-4.5" lip, Ned. If you're going with 12s and haven't narrowed the rearend yet, just center the wheel and it will look killer. Not pro street deep but a nice wide lip that will look aggressive.

Trust me! I'm a designer and a wheel man!

I was planing to get the rims and then measure for a rearend.... I have a mock up 8 3/4 stock in there now.... I was leaning towards a 4-4.5 inch lip.....5 is looking alittle too Pro-street to me....

I dont want the dish to the rear looking too out of place compared to the front. I like a deep dish but not too big.....

Looks awesome........... hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks it will be time to pull the trigger on the rims...

The dish on mine I believe is 4.5" and I have a stock 12-bolt...they appear to be about the same as that Goat.

We're getting alittle off subject but....how did you get that big of a dish with a stock rearend in a 1st gen?

On mine its a 9 inch rim 275 tire 5.5 BS and the dish is 2.75.....

Anyway....looks great.....

You just have to order the "right wheels" Ned!

Probably due to pad thickness. I believe some wheel makers just use a thick pad to make sure the wheel will clear any type of brake package, where others get that brake information and make the pad more narrow to create that larger lip.
