New Wheels, New Tires, New Stance!

[Lowprofile]

Looks good Bro!

Hey triple black, if you get a chance I would like you to do me a big favor. Can you measure the fatest part of the tire for me?? Inside to outside.  I have been looking for something to put on my 65' Coronet for ages. I know I can fit a 10 inch w/5" BS wheel in the well, but want to know for sure the tires are not going to be to wide in the side walls.

Hey Steve. The measurement from inner sidewall to outer sidewall in just over 11". I would say 11.25 inches. From what I know of '65 Coronets I don't see that dimension being problematic in terms of a stock rear wheelwell. Hope the info helps.

Very good. Thanks trippp.

Triple Black,

Nice car. . . But I have to know how you did your taillights? I have a black 69 and would love to do that to mine.

Thanks. Tim

Here you go chargerboy69. His name is Jon and here is his website.  http://www.jonstintedtails.com/index.htm   Mine was the first muscle car he did. He mostly does late models with convex shapes. The concave Charger tail light made him rethink his procedure but I can honestly say they look great. He can tint them in various shades of darkness and there is a picture gallery on his site as well. Hopefully mine will be added (I am sending him pictures) so people will know he can do older cars too.

Here you go Brock and some of you others. This is where it was before I leveled it out. I think I will split the difference and bring the front down halfway of where it was to where it is now.

I agree.  It looks awesome.  Nice job and it will stand out in a crowd !   I like the taillights too!

[Charger_Fan]

I've gotta agree, the stance looks perfect now.
To me, what makes it look perfect is that there's exactly the same distance between the top of the rim & the top of the wheel well on both front & rear. It emphasizes the natural slope of the body as the eye follows it forward.

[Hemidog]

That car looks PERFECT in that last pic, don't change a thing!

    ok, to me,.. to be truthful the stance is a bit high,.. i don't know what fender rubbing issues if any, your dealing with, but i'd drop the old gal at least an inch.. in back and 1 1/2" in front...  but that's just me...

I have to agree with Strat. I would drop it more in the front and in the rear too.

I have mine lowered in the front just before it hits the rubber bumpers and lowered 1 1/2 inches in the rear, and I love it.

again just for comparo here's SFBULLETT's it looks level but lower..



BTW: travis's looks GREAT! but i'd like to see more pics... 

[TripleBlackGator]

If SFBULLET's is lower it's not by much. Judging by the sidewalls I believe that car my be running 20's front and back. Looks lower given the amount of sidewall showing at the top. I could be wrong though but they just don't look like 18's.

Great lookin ride!!

Tripleblack,

Car looks killer. Do you have stock springs on the back?

[TripleBlackGator]

Tripleblack,

Yes they are stock springs. I did have the Super Stockers on the car for about 15 years but the look had become dated and I wanted a change. I am having slight interference with the rear tires and that "hump" inside the fenderwell. My only solution (without cutting the car) would be to order the same wheels with a 5.5" offset vs. the 5" offset it has now. Anyone interested in a pair of JYD's with about 40 miles on them? LOL.

That's a great looking 70. My first ride in a charger was like that one, when I was 14 years old.
