Hey T.C.
How's the GT coming along? I sent you a pm a while back. It would be great to catch up with you.
Take care,
Chad

Hey Chad, how are you. I'm going to jump back on the GT when this one is back on the road. I thought Steve Gaglione was going to come by last week to help me put the door window track & glass in the GT , but something must have come up

Wish I was there to help.
I am going to try everything I can to get to the 12 Hours this year. I really miss being around you guys.
Keep an eye out for a car for me. I'm helping my boys with a '76 right now but it's mostly cosmetic stuff. We should be done by the Spring. Then I would like to start on a GT car. Dual purpose, big motor (3.2-3.6), flares, etc.

Absolutely Gorgeous wheels TC! How much were these bad boys? Do you plan to use center caps or are you just going to run them as is?

With shipping, $650 - I only bought the Rears. They are available in Satin Black, Glossy Black, Polished & RSR Finishs

They take the Factory Center Caps - I'm gonna run them Naked

TC,

So you will be running 7 x 16" up front and 9 x 17" in the rear?

Is this a standard practice to run different sizes front to back? (I know the width is different, 16" to 17"). I did look at some other applications today, the new Mustangs actually offer the same scenario in a 2012 car.

Is there any downside, safety or stability wise, as the price of the Rotas is extremely attractive and being able to put a 255 in the rear wheel well will certainly fill the space provided by the flares.

Love my new seats!!!

Pete, Glad you like the seats, I knew you would - it was a hell of a deal

The Rotas for the Front would have been 17x7.5 - I really wanted to see how nice they were. That said, I will be going with 16x7s in the front as I have 3 Sets.

When I had my other Blue Car I ran 16s in the Rear & 15s in the front - I liked the rake

You better get an engine in that thing before you run out of sticker room.

Did a little work on the ST today. Probably shouldn't have pulled & sold the motor so quick as the Intake Manifolds haven't arrived yet (soon)

Will that combo fit under steel flares?

Glass Flares are wider than Steel, but the 17"s should fit under the Steel's. I'll try to get the GT out of the Garage and do a Test Fit this weekend

Thanks for checking. Just thought it might be cool to have a modern size set of wheels in addition to the 7&8x15's.

Yes & No. 1st there is no Motor in the car

Yes, they will fit with some massaging & maybe some smaller rubber

Probably better to do what Rick918 did with Coops car
