The Official WOOOOOOO Project - 1970 Maverick Repore

Ordered these Thursday in place of the always on backorder magnum 500s. I'm thinking these will work just as good if not better. Cragar SS 15x7 -4.125bs front....15x8 - 4.25bs rear.

 

Awesome, what are you plans for the front end

 

All new stock rebuild on the suspension. I did get some roller spring perches though. Then disc brakes by wilwood.

 

I figured the project name had something to do with Ric Flair!

 

Got the stock rear 5 lug resealed and new axle bearings. Video coming soon. 2 more episodes.

 

Test fitting my new wheels and tires. The wheels are crager ss 15x7 4bs up front and 15x8 4.25bs in rear.

Rears have a tire/leaf spring gap of 1/8" so I'm going to have to use spacers. Also I'm not to happy about the unilug wheels. Seems like a a worry to me and ive yet to even drive on them.

 

If installed correctly, I would not worry about the uni-lug wheels. I have ran them for years and years.

I would be more concerned with the spacers.

 

thanks. I had to get a thin walled socket to get the lugs in without scratching the wheels. They're a pain, but I think I have it figured out now. What do you torque yours at? Ive read 75-100lbs.

 

Look around for some plastic lined sockets made especially for alloy wheels. I also know a guy that uses shrink wrap on his sockets after being sanded down to smaller diameter. Different brands can have different wall thicknesses/smaller OD too.

Crap those rear tires look pretty close to the fender lips. Will a 1/4" spacer cause bigger issues?

 

I might can use a 1/4" spacer and be ok. If not I may just have to go a size smaller.
