Re: body drop on the 68

If the floor is touching the frame, what happens when there's body flex? Seems like it could do some damage.

Re: body drop on the 68

wheels are bospeed 20x8 with a 5.75 back spacing 20x12 4.25 for the rear. bon speed is under new ownership so if you want wheels they say 5 to 6 weeks but took them four months to do two. and there customer servics sucks. but a bad a$$ wheel!

Re: body drop on the 68

sick wheels! What size tires on the rear? They look a little stretched, but that could be the camera angle. What are the plans for the other?

Re: body drop on the 68

the wheels are huningtons, tires are f 255\3520 r 275 35 20, nittio dosent make the 295 25 20 any more ''sucks'' but the 275 are 10.5 wide i could use a little wider tire in the rear. have to were thes out. lol there to scathched its tire lub havent cleaned them yet just got them mounted. yeah my fronts were only 3 to 4 weeks but the rears took for ever, he said there was a shortage of the 20x12 bearls, billet specalties, intro,colarodo customs, all manifacurs were waiting on the big berals. but its worthit. i guess there are only one or two manafatures that make them. future plans are full custon chassis! have to pick up my buddies chassis table. new fire wall, the new chassis will includ c1500 styel uppers and lowers hiems for the uppers for adjustment, rack and pinion, finish the ac almost done, and paint charcole gray. trying to bag the 86 fast befor the 68 goes down.

Re: body drop on the 68

True the x12's would take longer, I was told they just take 2 10" and cut and weld them to make the wider wheels, that was why they were so much more expensive. Looks great. Did you get the clear powder option, they did not offer it when I ordered mine.

Re: body drop on the 68

Well, being a forged wheel I guess it would be only one piece, they probably don't have alot of those just laying around anyway. Not many will spend 1-1.2G's on one wheel. I love the valve system as well, I show people the wheels and say do you see anything missing??? It is a cool factor on these wheels. You might look into Nitto's new 20" drag radial they just came out with. I have already bought my tires, but man a 305 drag radial is what I wanted to begin with.
