Hey Dude , that would be me. After alot of pricing and looking, I found this dealer in Fla, sent them my hard earned dough and waited 3 months for delivery.They guarenteed 5 weeks. Got me on that one. Good Price but very hard to deal with. Try Fikse direct:

WWW.fikse.com

They will price you fairly. Meanwhile I'll hunt the company , I erased them from my Favorites for obvious reasons. I'll look through my invoices if you'd like, say the word. I'll get the exact size (Backs are 18X12.5 for mini tubs) fronts are 18X 8.5 I think, again I'll have to check the invoice.

Hey Bill get my message?

I'm using the Martz 4 link. I got my measurements from Jody. I am looking in my record for that info. Jody (Camcojb) can probably give them to you from memory.

I used the specs from the Mule since I got a spare set of wheels from that car. Overall rear end width that Currie uses from hub to hub is 56.187" and then the wheel size to work with that rear end would be 18 X 12.5" with a 6.5" b.s. I have an early set of wheels Mark tried which were 6.75" b.s. so I had to add 1/4" per side (1/2" total) to the rear end measurements to compensate. It all fits great.
