Just to be clear, are you wanting to know what backspacing you need to fit a 295/50/17 in there? Or do you have them installed and are just showing what it looks like? Because if that's the case the picture is too dark in the wheel area to see anything. If you're trying to figure out the...

I've had about zero luck finding a "slightly" longer stud with all the other dimensions the exact same as OEM.... These have worked nicely for myself and others: Replacement lug studs for 8-3/4

Fix-a-flat..lol. That crap's saved me numerous times over the years. Just be sure to get the tire as de-flated as possible, otherwise you may not get enough sealant in there. Those cans don't have a lot of pressure and what they do have doesn't last long.

Maybe not what you want to hear, but measuring is the only way to get it. These cars are known for being 'quirky' and not necessarily consistent from car to car and like Kern showed the fenderwells had different weird humps over the years. On some, the leaf springs are the first obstacle. Use...

What's 'vapor' blasting? I'm very interested...

If you do choose to blast them, be sure of what type of media will be used. Regular bead blasting will roughen up the finish a bit.. good for cast intakes but not what you want on aluminum wheels for a smooth & shiny polished look. There are other options for blast media, just something to keep...

Don't do it..unless you're trying to hang with these guys:eek::lol::lol:

Speaking of that...the white letters on the Cobras I used stayed nice and white. I hit them with some Ajax on a scrub sponge every now and then to clean them up and they still look good. Good all-season tire. You do need to consider your power level though. They can become dangerous behind a...

Get under there and get your own good measurements. One maker's 275/60 isn't quite the same size as another maker's 275/60. And you'll always find people on the web that say "it works for me" but they don't mention if they ever rub when turning, or if they trimmed the fender lip, etc....

No two tire/wheel combos fit exactly the same. My Cooper 275/60s were 27.5" overall in real life, while my MTs are a true 28". 295/60 might be pushing it....most guys can just fit a 295/50 in there. Pick out the tires and rims you want to use, get all the measurements you can including the bulge...

Yeah, just ignore it. All it's telling you is where the mounting surface is located, in relation to dead center of the wheel...which doesn't really matter in this case. Backspacing is more relevant, that's how far the inside edge of the rim is going to actually be from the mounting surface...

It's just a different way of measuring the same thing, really.. Offset is the distance, in millimeters, that the mounting surface is moved off of centered, with positive offset being closer to the wheel face, and negative offset being closer to the inside....whereas Backspacing is measured from...

I'm happy with the ET S/S Mickeys...my stroker BB finally feels like a stroker BB. Even on the unpredictable street surfaces. I can finally get a jump from a stop which I couldn't do before even at part-throttle....and under power the shift points feel like like someone's kicking me in the back...

Okeedokee. So much depends on the manufacturer. I've had 275/60/15s measure anywhere from 27" to 28.5".

What does a tape measure say? These are 295/50s...pretty meaty.

Looks great! :thumbsup:

Yeah I don't actually live in L.A. but being only 4-ish hours away I've spent my share of time down there...it used to be THE place....Heavy-metal and the 'Strip in the 80s oh lordy take me back. So Cal folks will get the freeway joke for sure. BTW my standard 15x8 4.5 backspace 'American...

No, but there's one just up the block in Torrance....it's easy just take the 405 to the 405/22 to the 605 back to the 405 past the 710 to the Torrance exit. Or, for the scenic route take the 1, cut over on Ocean and take the 710 to the 110 and before you get to the 91 catch the 405...
