I've got the Invo, I really like the look of the tread when I saw it in person, plus it looks good to me on the 70

I read or seen pics of your build, what is the link? I wanted to see what you did with the frame to fit those tires.


OK, 285/30r20 Nitto 555's are here, 305/35r20 555R's will be here next week then I can take some axle specs and get my FAB 9" ordered!!!

Nice wheel choice and great color. They flow well with the color of the car and the black top.

Those are 10" wheels? Wow!! They look much wider, looks like a 12" wheel.



Must be the massive lip. Those wheels will look great under your car. Usually I dont like 20" tall wheels under most old iron. But your car will pull the look off perfectly, nice big rear quarter. Great choice. And Im thinking a 305mm tire is the way to go JR

Nitto NT555 245/35r19 (25.87x9.65) going to be here Monday!!

Here is what the Nitto NT555r 305/35r20 (28.58x12.16) look like.

I really like it, going to get the tires mounted tomorrow and make some room in the wheel well by rolling/cutting the outer fender lip.

Here is how it looks on the new wheels and tires.

Front
-Nitto NT555 245/35r19 (25.87x9.65)
-Rushforth Rated X (Machine lip w/satin black face) 19x8 5" BS

Rear
- Nitto NT555r 305/35r20 (28.58x12.16)
- Rushforth Rated X (Machine lip w/satin black face) 20x10 4.5" BS

The car will settle down a inch or more in the front when I drive it again but this is for the time being until my new rear 9" axle gets here, but over all this is the stance I am aiming for.

Thanks, I was worried about the difference between the front and rear tire height but I think once the front comes down after driving it she will look great. Can't wait!!!
