Got some Welds

Finally got some different wheels that would fit my car better, the others were 10'' wide in the rear and tires would rub in the fender wells. The pictures aren't the best as they were taken this evening.

Re: Got some Welds

i believe you have to do extensive inner fender mods to run that backspace with a tire with any size to it.

Re: Got some Welds

lucky for you. you chose a chevy and any motor will bolt right to your 700. small block or big block or a 6 cyl. the only problem is a thirdgen is not cheap to make go down the track fast. its hard to try and keep your car both streetable and fast.i went the same route at your age but soon you will deside one or the other. i hardly drive my car now its mostly race only. to keep it streetable and affordable you can go into the 10s after that you need to make alot of power or really strip some weight.
