You know I had to try it on the car!!!!

http://www.norcaltruck.com/01_misc_pic/toys/70_Chevelle/Rated_X__8.JPG



Now I need to get my tires :_paranoid :lol:

[MarkM66]

Those look great. Perfect size too! :thumbsup:

[cdushane]

Very Nice :thumbsup:

[67ChevILL]

wow.. very nice.
wheels make or brake cars.. and sir those wheels just made your car!

congrats!
:cheers:

[Vegas69]

Those are bitchin....:D

[tones2SS]

VERY, VERY NICE!!! Can't wait to see them mounted on your car. It's going to transform the look COMPLETELY!:thumbsup: :cheers:

[Nick.V70]

Thanks guys!! I am very happy. The brushed does not go great with the car color but we are going to be painting the car after everything is completed on the build and we know it all works. Thinking a charcoal grey or white and satin black off sets. I just had the bumpers done and everything else is going to be treated with satin black if chrome now to try my idea or combo I am going with.

[EBMC]

Now you'll have a good excuse to take a test drive over the hill so we can check them out in person! Great choice in size and style!

[Nick.V70]

Right on, yea I would like to stop and check your shop out one day.



So, I am trying to order tires and getting stuck.....

Nitto NT05 *(What do people feel about these?) Street use mainly
Front
-275/30r19 = 25.51x10.71
-275/35r19 = 26.65x10.79 / think this is too tall?
Rear
-275/35r20 = 27.56x10.75 - too skinny
-275/40r20 = 28.62x10.79 - too skinny
-315/35r20 = 28.62x12.40 / I think I can "make" this fit?

-285/30r20 = 26.93x11.02 / I think this is a great fit with the 275/30r19 front but I am feeling this is conservative and I need to try the 315/35r20:willy:


Any other recommendations so I can order some tires and get them under the car so I can take my axle specs to start the axle build.

[JayR]

Nice avatar, Nick! Thanks for everything!

People often refer vendors, but as a vendor let me just refer Nick as a client. Fellow vendors and business owners know what I mean and you'll really know what I mean of Nick calls to purchase from you.

Car looks great, Nick. I look forward to watching it come together.

[DFRESH]

So sweet---love the brushed finish against the black---awesome looking.

Doug

[Steve1968LS2]

Those look NIIIIIIICE

[mild2wild]

Awesome combo!

[torino420]

those look killer, can't wait to see it with tires mounted.

At 275 on an 8" wheel is to wide. Look for something in a 245 or 255.

[89 RS]

Those things look awesome!:D

Yea I was off on that, my head was spinning from the rear tires I was way off on that.


So is anyone running the Nitto Invo's? Not sure if they will look right on a classic car, maybe more euro new car?

[Nick.V70]

Yeap..I really like it also. That was why I was checking your wheels out, I like polished but I was looking for alittle more industrial look so picked machine. Trying to match all the other parts I have.

[The WidowMaker]

im not a fan of the style of the invos. id still look into the 305 nt555rs for the rear if you arent concerned about having a tire with 200+ treadwear. thats the only reason i went with the 315 nt05's.

Nick,

I would check out the NT555R, because they do have the 305/35/20, which has a nice sidewall height, and will look good on that 10" rim.

[SS454]

I've got the Invo, I really like the look of the tread when I saw it in person, plus it looks good to me on the 70

I read or seen pics of your build, what is the link? I wanted to see what you did with the frame to fit those tires.


OK, 285/30r20 Nitto 555's are here, 305/35r20 555R's will be here next week then I can take some axle specs and get my FAB 9" ordered!!! :woot:

[Ron Fox]

Nice wheel choice and great color. They flow well with the color of the car and the black top.:thumbsup:

Those are 10" wheels? Wow!! They look much wider, looks like a 12" wheel.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/Jrouche/Steves%20Nova/Rated_X__8.jpg

Must be the massive lip. Those wheels will look great under your car. Usually I dont like 20" tall wheels under most old iron. But your car will pull the look off perfectly, nice big rear quarter. Great choice. And Im thinking a 305mm tire is the way to go JR

[Nick.V70]

Nitto NT555 245/35r19 (25.87x9.65) going to be here Monday!!

Here is what the Nitto NT555r 305/35r20 (28.58x12.16) look like.

I really like it, going to get the tires mounted tomorrow and make some room in the wheel well by rolling/cutting the outer fender lip.

It's gonna look sick, look forward to the pics!

[tones2SS]

It's gonna look sick, look forward to the pics!

You said it man!!!:thumbsup:

[Nick.V70]

Here is how it looks on the new wheels and tires.

Front
-Nitto NT555 245/35r19 (25.87x9.65)
-Rushforth Rated X (Machine lip w/satin black face) 19x8 5" BS

Rear
- Nitto NT555r 305/35r20 (28.58x12.16)
- Rushforth Rated X (Machine lip w/satin black face) 20x10 4.5" BS

The car will settle down a inch or more in the front when I drive it again but this is for the time being until my new rear 9" axle gets here, but over all this is the stance I am aiming for.

Very nice Nick! Looks awesome!:thumbsup:

[Nick.V70]

Thanks, I was worried about the difference between the front and rear tire height but I think once the front comes down after driving it she will look great. Can't wait!!!

[torino420]

sick dude! :thumbsup:

[slenning]

Man that looks great:cheers:

[Nick.V70]

New axle housing and rear suspension is ordered and I should be able to get it the first of next week!!!:woot:

[camcojb]

Jody

[Nick.V70]

Thank you Jody :)

[CreepinDeth]

Same tires on my 442 wannabe with Foose Legends.
