What did U do to your G-body today??

[rodneypierce]

Looks great, what is the wheel/tire sizes ?

Fronts are 15x4 1.625 back space. Tires are 26-6-15 Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R's

Rears are 15x8 4.5 back space. 275-60-15 Hoosier Pro Radials.

And it does not fit without rubbing in the back. Not tucking it as far as I did. It rubs on both the frame on the inside and the wheel lip on the outside. I trimmed the wheel lips to clear, and will be notching the frame as soon as the body comes back off. Im not sure how guys run a true 275 pro radial on stock wells/frame and not rub if they want to tuck it.

Let me start out by saying your car looks great...Love the color...

I asked about the size because in the bottom pic it looks like the front's are bigger (wheels) I have street tires 275s on a 15x8 in the back with a rolled lip with a 1" plus clearence on either side...I am mini tubbing and notching the frame and putting a 15x10 with (IDK) 295s or as big as i can fit, and 16,17X7 in the front to get the car leveled out...I have a buddy with some 315/60s i can get dirt cheap but i think they are to big...

They don't, I have the same setup on mine basically (4" bs but rear is 1/2" narrower per side. Frame is notched and wheel wells are re-shaped with a bfh and it is tight with the old 275 mickey radials on an 8" rim. I do have about 3/4" of the lips left so i can run the wheel well trim. Have 1/8-1/4 clearance on outside and maybe 3/8" on the inside. No rubbing though.

It was actually yesterday but I painted my tank with Eastwood tank paint and painted the straps too. Also did the tank sock and ring.

Y'know I was going to pull the sending unit out of mine, but the lock ring was getting so beat up from trying to remove it, I just let it be.

If you take out the lock ring you should probably change out the oring too. They are 4 to 6 bucks at a parts store. I had to get the sock from the dealer since parts stores don't carry them.

Yesterday I removed the front right fender to make a better adjustment on new door shell. To day I welded the trim holes, since I don't want trim on the lower half. I was able to get it re installed.

Got it out of storage and drove it home tonight. Felt good! Now to fix a leaking water pump, and while I'm at it install a new t-stat and aluminum radiator. I'm sure there are other I need to do but those are on top of the list for now.

Put the hood on and quarter extensions after getting them painted last night. Now onto pulling the body back off the frame for the last time.
