Mine has redrilled rotors and about 8" of drop in the front and so far no rubbing. But it's never been driven either, but I don't see any issues as these wheels have a good deal of backspacing. I currently have the same size tires as slammed427.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Cool thanks. Your truck looks good with those wheels. My truck did sit pretty low with the sbc 350 but after the all aluminum ls swap it sits a bit higher. Ill prolly try to find someone to redrill the rotors so I know I'll have the room. Are you able to run a wider tire in back??

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

With the dodge wheels, i'd say you could run a 275/40 on the rear pretty easily and they'll be the same diameter as the original 235/75/15s were.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Haven't done much to her lately, but I did throw together a 20X12" mock up wheel for the project. It's got 4 different bolt patterns, 6-1/4" of backspacing (which is not quite enough to work with my current setup). I cheated when I did the backside of the wheel, set it next to a 15" rally for size comparison.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Glad to see your build is still going. It is one of my favorites.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Thanks tiny, I haven't done much work on it except changing my mind on a few things and trying to redevelop my plans. I have sold the dodge wheels, except for the one pictured above. And have recently decided to do a truck arm rear suspension like the previous generation had.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

I have done a couple small things since my last post, I'll try to get a couple pics up soon. I haven't done anything big though. I started working a second job last December so my spare time is low, plus I have a few things to fix on my daily before I can really get going again.

Re: "Sin-thia" My 74 GMC

Wow, it's been almost 4 years since I've updated this. I still have it, hasn't been parted out yet. I'm still working 2 jobs and have moved since I posted about it last. I unfortunately no longer have a garage so I sadly have no progress at this time. But I have been thinking about it a lot again here lately so maybe I'll get back on it sometime in the near future.
