what kind of suspension are you gonna be using, and what camber do you expect to be at?

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!

oh forgot to ask, when you did a test fit, did you get a chance to weigh each rim? and how much do they weigh with tires?

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!

Ok, I weighed the 03 18" stockers at 54lbs.

My Weds are as follows:

Front: 54lbs w/tire
Rear: 57lbs w/tire

Basically the same as stock

Sorry forgot to mention, the camber I am expecting to run is as follows:

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

It's all in my blog:

For sure! I will be featuring my entire build on my blog @ www.exelife.com

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?
