Update: Wheels and tires returned. See my update below.



My initial thoughts are it is sitting a little too high in both front and back but until I do an alignment to it and then drive the car like I stole it, I'm not going to do anything to it. As it stands the rear fender lip is about 3/4" higher than the front. I wanted it to be an inch+ higher.

Tire: BFGoodrich GForce T/A KDW 225/50/16
Wheels: AR's Torque Thrust D 16x8

Re: Shag has new shoes

Looks good. I think the front needs to be about a inch lower though. Everyone always says they will settle........
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

I think the GForce tires turned out looking good. I think those are the ones Dave S put a vote in for? Do you have a "straight on from the front" photo? I'd be interested in seeing that.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

Bill,
Until I get the front end aligned, I don't think you would want to see a head on pic.


Miss (ever so perky) September sounds good to me.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

That looks nice Craig. I've always liked those wheels on a vintage Ford.

I agree it could be a bit lower. You still have some weight to put on the car so it'll be a wait and see deal.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

Exactly......The whole interior needs to be installed which will add some poundage to the pup, so let's just wait and see.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

I agree that you can't make any adjustments 'till the rest of the parts are are installed, but I've never had a suspension "settle" to any noticeable amount, in all the suspensions I've done. Once the parts are on, that's pretty much the stance you'll have.

front definitely looks high, and the back could come down as well.

Those wheels and tires look awesome, though!
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

It will settle when Craig sits in it........just like my carfs.....lol I do agree, none of my suspensions have settled after the first drive.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

i only like those gray wheels on certain colors, and it goes very well with that dark green. nice choice. how get that thing lowered!
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

You know you will have to take that car into san francisco on the off chance that you can find a tuxedo black 68 challenger r/t 440 to chase...

Looks great.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

Looks nice, when did AR start making 16" TTD's, are they 7 or 8", what's the back spacing.

edit: just noticed 16X8
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

Put her in the weeds Pops. :)



Just yanking your chain Craig, looks really nice. Like has been said I think a little lower in the front but until you get everything installed and buttoned up I would leave it as is. Then work out the stance after you get a few miles on her.
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

Hey. You copying Mikey's car ride height!
 
Re: Shag has new shoes

Great choice for the shoes. I also think it would look better lower.
