    WOW that's close. :cry:

    I had a Duster once where the L-60's were not as close and the sidewalls scraped on the leaf springs at every corner and turn as the tire flexed on the rim. I'm afraid that you may very well get sidewall damage being that close.

    And here are some showing the wheel lip space with about 300 lbs in the trunk ( me and the two kids setting on the trunk lid...lol). Now all I need is to get the fuel tank fixed and she will be on the road. :dance:

    I just didnt want to go to much further with the wheel spacers, but I do have another one that is 3/4 of inch. But I do agree I was worried about the tire rubbing around corners, so I did a few donuts just to make sure and I have to say the 250 is a beast....lol. But the tires did not rub at this time, but I have new 4 leave springs and poly bushings out back.

    I hope you're right - your car, with the larger wheels, does look good though (y)

    I've not had any time whatsoever. I've got a project that I have to finish first, hopefully it won't be too much longer. Also anytime the weather wants to turn nice, I'm all for it! Have you still got the 72? you're becoming quite the collector, keep up the good work:thumbs2:
