It's just a mild streched too, 275 on an 11" wheel.
I am already hooked up with an Universal Air Suspension for my project. I am working on getting some struts for the air as we speak.
It will be a car that handles for the track because that's where it is going!

I can't weigh the rim itself because they already have the tires mounted on them.
They feel quite light for what they are. Keep in mind they are not race wheels, but for some chrome wheels, they feel light
Let me go and weigh the wheels, BRB!

Front: ~ negative 3-5 degrees
Rear: ~ negative 5-7 degrees

Within this next week or the week after that, I should have all my suspension in hand. While I am waiting for all that to come through, I will be finishing up some fiberglassing on the interior

Sweet looking wheels Preshant! 
After looking at the pics on your blog, you're definitely going to have to run some crazy camber on those
Will you pulling the fenders for this project?
