Re: Project Goldilocks, '66 C10 SWB BBW Build

Got the first wheel center knocked out. Still have to grind the welds down before I can put the center back in but here's some pics that will give you an idea of what these will look like.




Dropped in backwards, not in place as the center still has to go in another 3/4" or so.




1970's (?) cap layed on top to get an idea of where the cap will sit.




About 6" of lip before the center is knocked all the way in. Backspacing right now (with the center just laying on top of the drop center) is about three inches. That will shrink to about 2-2.25" once the center is in its final location. I've heard of guys running 8" wide rims with 4" back spacing, so these may stick out too far and rub the fenders? I can narrow the rear end to make them fit the rear but might have to find some outer rims with a better drop center placement (more back spacing) for the front.
