Now we have the same rims lol.
I hadn't seen yours with these wheels. I didn't even know this model existed until this week, once I saw them, had to have them. I sold my old 4 lug Welds & the Race Stars & they pretty much paid for these.

Tomorrow, new Strange struts are going on the front.
What size are those tires? They look so beefy!

What pad heights on the front did you go with. I'm using 99-04 gt front spindle, calipers and rotors. I went with the low pads and I need a 1/4 spacer on the fronts.
What about you?

I have the SVO rotors with stock Fox Body brakes. I got the medium pad height, because I wanted the 1.5 BS. The center cap barely hit the bearing cap. So I got the smallest spacer I could find I used that, it is like an 1/8". On the rears, to my surprise, I had to put a 1/4" spacer, the tire was on the inner fender. My old wheels were 15x10 w/ 6.5 BS, they cleared fine. The wheels are a little wider than 10" though.

Do want! Those wheels look even better with a nice lip.

How loud is it while cruising, any drone? I used that same muffler plus another bullet dumped at the same location.

It isn't that loud, but it does drone pretty good.

On every single LS motor swapped 5.0, I have yet to see AC put BACK into a car...is yours the same? Is it a huge PITA, thus why no one does it?

I believe Bad Chad had A/C in his blue coupe, not 100% sure though.

Thanks everyone!

I put new Strange 10 way adj struts on today, had a bad one.

Just got back from cruising it with the new wheels for the first time.

No a/c on mine, didn't build it for daily driving, just kept it simple.
