So we have a ton of extra room. Then I found out from Zak at BOZE FORGE that my hoop will be different because of the ZR-1 calipers so he wants me to make sure I have everything measured correctly. Trust me I would have my wheels already if I used Kjells measurements but I want my wheel to be as close to the quarter lip as possible. Kjells is just a little to far in for me. So thats one more reason. Hope this makes sense...

Mike just e-mailed me this info!!

Just to make sure you understand ! My big tubs and frame rails lets you have around 16.5 “ to 17” of tire room. My tube and frame rails in a 69 Camaro will let you run up to a 385 mm tire if done right. Kjells car was built with a 345 mm tire and the rim was done for a 365 to 385 mm tire to go on later. This is y the 345mm tire in kjells car looks like it in some. If you put a 365mm tire on his car now it would be out as far as it can go.. Now if I take the wheel spacer off and put a 385mm tire on the car it would have the same room inside and out with around 1/4” room to move around in.


PS. Michelin makes a 355,365,385,395,405, and 415mm tires… other guys do to… “ and for kjell saying you have to CUT you outer wheel well to get the tire out far “ not true!!! All you have to do is roll the outer wheel housing out at the top a 1/8 to 1/4 “ and keep the bottom in the same place. This will let the tire have room and will make the car look better from the rear with the quarters out about 1/4" more on each side. Just like his car was done…
