Default My new VWW V48's!

I'm really whoring these pictures out, but I'm just so excited! I finally got a chance to mock up my wheels onto my 68 Camaro! This was the car's first time on the ground so it's far from settled. But the wheels themselves are everything I hoped they would be: they make a statement, but not flashy, and they look very appropriate for the era. Still working on which lugnuts I should use...

Thanks to Newstalgia and Vintage Wheel Works!

Front: 17x8 4.75" Backspacing, 1/4" spacer. 245/45/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3
Rear: 17x9.5 5.5" Backspacing. 275/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3

Me neither! I kept asking them but they had no time frame on the V48's, they only have plans for the V40 and V45 right now.

Default Wheels

Wheels look great on there. I tried all last year for the V40's , but couldn't wait any longer.

I know this is really late... I was just wondering how big of a rotor you have in the front and if you needed to use a spacer to clear the brakes.
