Rushforth 19/20 SuperSpokes on 66 Chevelle - Lateral-g Forums

DriverzInc · #1 02-11-2008, 11:56 AM

I recently purchased a new car, a 66 chevelle, and have been slowly upgrading it to where I would prefer it to be. The wheels and tires went on last week. 19x8 front, and 20x10 rear. Front tires are 245/35/19, and rears are a 285/30/20 in Sumitomo HTRZIII's. Stock wheel tubs in the rear.

Here are some photos:

Wheels are Rushforth "Super Spokes" with a brushed and cleared center, and polished outer. I think they match the car perfecty. The front suspension is all Global West, rear is tubular arms and lowering springs. I plan on upgrading to Vari-shocks, and lowering the front another inch.

Wow - those wheels look great!

Just curious at this point, but what would that wheel combo cost - PM me if you get a chance. Like I said, just curiosity at this point, but maybe some day if I save my pocket change!

Those look killer, what's the backspacing on the rears?

PM's sent out.

Thank you for the compliments everyone. More work to do to this car before it's more where I would prefer it to be, but she'll get there... slowly but surely.

Thanks again.

Looks great Jon!! From looking at the pics I don't think the front needs to come down any more....but it's kinda hard to tell. Either way it looks killer!!

Looks awesome. The wheels are a good match for the car - I'm sure your happy (how many trips to the garage just to look yet another time?). Please post some more pictures of the rest of the car - fininished or unfinished ... also It would be neat to see some before pictures. Hey have you posted this on team chevelle? You can stir up a lot of debate with the traditionalists especially on wheels.

I just posted them up over at Team Chevelle in a thread calling out 66/67's with big wheels. Ton's of 17" torq thrusts were posted. I'm sure my combo will stir it up a bit.

Thank you for the compliments. I have gotten some complaints that I don't take enough photos from a backed up side view. I'll do so tonite and add to this post. Thanks again guys.
