Are you sure about the off-set?
well i have nothing for camparison, and the viper stuff has to be narrowed to fit anyway. so my way of thinking is... if i get a standard or "common" offset, then i will be able to figure the exact amount to narrow the front and rear in direct relation to where the wheel/tire need to sit.

and hopefully goin with the "common" offset will allow me to run different wheels if desired (stock wheels/drag radials)

i have mocked up 345/30/18's... and they seem to be the best fit for the gi-hugic wheelwells in terms of fitment and looking cool. right now the car is nothing more than a pile of parts and a rack full of tubing to go along with everything from the original contempary classics kit. but i am stuck with the chassis blue-prints,untill i have set in stone measurements for the wheel/tire fitment.

thanks for the help

If you do go with the Viper off sets, you can run the CCW Viper Drag set up also.. The skinnies clear the factory Brembo Brakes..

that would be great...but for now im more concerned with the inital set-up. future options are great... but at this point in time i have a long long long list of other parts i still need along with the wheels.

the cobra project is a partnership deal between me and "pops", im trying to get all the major parts rounded up so i can jump on it over the winter months. he got really motivated when when he finally got to see pics of my 34 truck...and as long as i keep on "schedule"... his car will be next in line.
