I ordered up m Street or Track front and rear cobra brake kit and made sure i purchased rims that i could now and use when i install the brakes. the MAIN reason why i am no longer going with www.vintagevenom.com kit and the requirement to use drum spindles even thought i have them (up for sale by the way). i just had to make sure i have a 4.5BS 0offset and measure when i get the wheels for spoke to mounting pad clearance. its becomes a very small issue when the brakes are installed then a small 1/4 spacer isn't a problem but it should work.
I ordered these in 17x8's in the front and 17x9's in the rear. i would of like to get 10-11wide for the back but i wanted to stay in the reasonable cost range instead of spending 300 on american racing wheels each. i wanted to keep my 28 inch tire dia (275/60/15) but it jst ain't going to happen with 17's. the closest i can get is a 27.1 buts only a 255/50/17 and is barely 10 inches of thread width. but i will most likely stay with the 275/40/17 or 285/40/17's and that'll be 25.7 & 25.95. i'm losing 2 inches of tire diameter so i'm most likely going to have to change m 21 tooth speed gear to a 20th tooth. its probably going to allow me to cruise at 70mph at a better effieicnt engine speed. i'm speeding 2100rpms going 70mph now and that's going to jump to about 2300rpms. my powerband is 1800-6000rpms, so probably being 500rpms past the beginning of the powerband cruising is better than 300rpms. i wish compcams listed a recommend cruise speed rpms like how another company does.
with the front i want to stay as small as possible but still be in the recommended rim width for the size. i want the front wheels to be about 1/2 inch to 1 inch smaller than the fronts. the smaller tires in front do help out a little bit when it comes to tight turning and i just don't like the look of HUGE tires and rims in the front. so i'm thinking more of a 225/45/17 which is 25.0 dia or a 235/45/17 which is 25.28 dia. both of those sizes is getting on the range where an 8 wide is getting to the larger range of the recommend width. but the rear i'll be at the minimum wheel width at 9 inches.
i'm probably going to relax for 1 week after getting these and order these tires from the base gas station. they can get any tires within a day and i like how they charge only 17 dollars for mounting/balancing/and road hazard all in one smaller price. and of course have a friend help me install them on the car while i can't lift anything.
cheers everybody!!!
