| The fender wall side can be hammered back from it's current "L" shaped edge to more of a "U" shape to get some clearance room. | |

Yeah, I know. I'm actually having the fender lip and trim lip cut down on both sides in the rear. I'll need it for the set of rims and tires that are supposed to be going on it. | |

(and FYI, these are the wheels that were on my SS up til this afternoon ) I was rockin the winter steelies til today on the wagon. | |

| I can't see the top of the wheel. I think you should radius the wheel well. | |

| The SS is going to be strutting around on my old 15" Rallyes for a while. I missed those 295's!!!! On a side note, got the SS running again today. | |

WHAT?!?!?! Those Z28 tips RAWK! I love 'em! I think it's just a bad angle on the pic. They don't stick out at all and are actually flush with the bumper. And rollpan? Boo. I don't like those at all. I prefer to have the bumper. Roll pans just look funny. Like short bus kinda funny. | |

Man those wheels look great. I love the fat lip. Do you have any problems with tire rub at full steering lock? Thanks. I have not noticed any rub at full lock. Believe it or not, there's PLENTY of room up front for the 9.5's. It's in the rear where it's tight cuz of the skirts. It seems that due to the short sidewalls, that 1/4" clearance I have to the fender lip out back is all I need. I guess those 40's don't "roll" much. And I've pushed it a bit on a couple on/off ramps too, to test. Oh, and MAN! Did it ride waaaaaaay nicer on those snow tires! | |

So were you planning on putting the Rallyes on the wagon, or somethin else? I'd say stick with the Coy's...they look too good! and as referenced by Bewbiez, your, uh...aiisse...looks pretty high. IIRC, you kept the load leveler, didn't you? That must be making it ride higher than other vogtland sprung wags I recall seeing (from a rather foggy memory anyhow)...I didn't get my rears in yet, but now especially with the 18's, it looks high to me... | |

| I was gonna do the Rallyes on it. Still might. Not sure yet...
And yes, I still have the air ride out back. I'll be ditching it when I get the disc rear in there though. I will definately be cutting 1/2 a coil off the fronts, too. Probably off the SS also.
Oh, and the SS has been broken since last may. I've finally got it back together and put some miles on it this weekend!
(and pay no attention to Bewbz, he knows not of what he speaks) | |
