01RedT/A

heres a couple of quick pics i took at work. there will be more to come this weekend. they are boyd Junk Yard Dogs. Tese things took some work to fit (17x10's) but it was worth it. i had to get the shortest valve stem possible for the back, since its mounted in the center of the rim it actually hit the caliper. the fronts i had to grind some material off the fins on the caliper. im going to take some more off, its just too close for me to be comfortable with it.





BTW the stripe isnt orange its reflective black.

I'm starting to like those Boyd's better than the TT2's. Looks pretty good and the stripes are doin something weird in that 2nd pic, get'em to stop.

I would drop it, but my 3 inch true dual hangs way to low as it is, that would make matters worse.....

I droped mine 1 1/2 inches and I'm going to go back to stock springs ASAP. The car is just too bumpy and it scrapes too much. Especially if you have low exhaust like you and I do. Your wheels look good BTW.

Looks great! I still can't decide which i'm going to go with. Smoothies or those. I think i like the deep dish of the Smoothies......but the JYDs are pimp also

i dont know what is involved in mounting the smotthies, but these arent exactly straightfoward...

Are you not able to choose your offset with boyds or something?

01RedT/A

its not the offset thats the prolem, its the location of the valve stem. its smack dead on the center of the rim, and thats what was killing my. the bs is available from something like 3 1/4" all the way to 7 1/4" in 1/8 inch incriments.

how does that work? are you meaning the valvestem is BEHIND the spokes?!?! how do you manage that one?

Chris@DTD

Due to the unique barrel configuration and wanting to have the "soft-lip" look, they have to put the valvestem behind one of the spokes in the middle of the wheel.

so if i order them from DTD, am i going a need to do the same thing? i have a z28(ssclon) 1998...

what size of wheels will fit better? 275 all around? or 275 and 315's maybe? is it better to order all 17x10 or 17x8 & 17x10??

I went with the JYD's in 18x8, 18x10 combo. I had no problems mounting them, they bolted right up. However, upfront, the spokes of the wheels are VERY close to the fin of the caliper. But it does not touch it. No clearance issues at all in the back.
