tested my flaring tool and guess I bought cheap stuff or my skills just s*cks







and finally I ordered my set of wheels



Showwheels Streeter 20x8.5 20x10 custom black and polished lips

as soon the wheels arrive I finally can start with all body work..

NICE wheels!! i've heard that the Cunifer brake lines are easy to bend and they never rust.... What flare tool did you use?

That tool is similar to the one i used to cut shorten my stock brake lines on my 8.5 rear axle. Practice makes perfect!! Are those wheels gonna clear you Vette brakes?

yeah will test some more this weekend. hopefully I'll get the trick

I saw a few other rides with these wheels but in 18" and they clear c5 brakes. Since I ordered 20" I think it'll be no problem

205/70-14 vs. 285/30-20













fender lips needs to be rolled and need to widen the inner wheeltubs. maybe will cut stock out and get universal fenderwells from summit like this?

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G7908/

what do you think about that kit from summit?

anyways - I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!
