Lmao Turna!!!!! So, yep I had tires mounted on the back wheels earlier. I then rushed home like Ralphie waiting to hear the code phrase on the radio so I could put em on. I might end up using a thin spacer(i know i know), but they clear for now.
It's raining in KY, so these are the best pics I was getting today. When I get the front tires next week I will roll it out for better pics.

Are those Billet Specialties rims? Damn they are sexy, I was looking at them yesterday.
 
Nope. They are American racing one piece cast wheels...about half the price of their billet version. They have that retro muscle car vibe similar to the factory rallye's, but bigger.View attachment 101740
I can't see, did you go with the Nitto or BFG tire? Sizes?

I ended up going with the Nitto. It just seems to "fit" the car better with the more squared off tread design. The BFG is really good looking and made in the USA, but they look more appropriate on a sports car.

Wheel size: 17x8 with 4.5"BS
Tire: 255/45ZR17
 
Stripped the last of the stuff i am going to use on the coupe off of the sedan donor frame.

I didn't realize it at the time, but apparently, I bought the sedan from the flat washer king. Dude had flat washers EVERYWHERE.
Fuel pump bolts....check. Control arm bolts...check. Water pump bolts...check. Bellhousing bolts...check. Engine mount through bolts...check. And the weirdest ever, there were flat washers between the lower ball joint dust boot and the knuckle...WTF?

Scary part....he was/is? a "technician" at a Firestone store.

Glad to see you moving forward man. What size are you planning for the front?
