Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.

that's why I mentioned to draw it out on paper, like a cross section view, so you will know before you buy wheels or spacers or a new zip disc. get your dimensions and draw it out for a good visual before the money leaves the wallet. leave room for the tire sidewall bulge past the extra width of the wheel lip (which will be more on an aluminum wheel than a steel wheel), suspension, wheels turning up front etc. remember if a spacer is used the front wheels will no longer turn on a dime, they will turn in an arc because they are further away from the axis, this can affect tire to fender fitment etc. consider scrub radius changes. homework guys. it does pay off though.
