Cornerstone 15 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 Have you been able to lower it yet? No. We actually had a white Christmas here in Texas and it is still to cold for me to jack with it. I'm not sure which way I will lower it. What do y'all ...or should I say, you's guy's think? Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xplane 10 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) I went with 4.5" BS front and 5.5" BS rear. I had a 6.25" BS rear but it looked funny, I didn't think it have enough dish. Edited January 6, 2013 by xplane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samwe 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 I decided to get 5.75 in the back. I ordered on the 6th and they arrived today. I had them shipped to a friend in WA so I do not have them yet, but wow, that was quick! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xplane 10 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) What size are your wheels and tires? thanks 17x8" 245/45 fronts and 17x9.5" 285/40 rears, tires are Nitto 555's. I have the Wheel Vintiques magnum, not the AR500. Edited January 12, 2013 by xplane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prayers1 153 Report post Posted January 12, 2013 xplane- Thank you for sharing the dimensions of the tire and wheels. They really make the car look sharp! Any difference between the AR500's & Vintiques I wonder what rear tire Cornerstone went with? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Jade 43 Report post Posted January 17, 2013 I went with 17x8 with 4.75 bs all the way around. AR500's are a lot cheaper (price) than Wheel Vintiques. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any difference between the AR500's & Vintiques I have detailed pictures of the Vintiques I will post if any of you AR guys would like to compare. The Vintique wheels are not light, I will weigh them for reference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xplane 10 Report post Posted January 17, 2013 I have detailed pictures of the Vintiques I will post if any of you AR guys would like to compare. The Vintique wheels are not light, I will weigh them for reference. First two pictures are 17x9.5 with the two different backspacing I previously qouted . Wheel with no tire is 5.5" backspace.

xplane 10 Report post Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I weighed one of the rear wheels with a 285/40 Nitto 555, it tipped the scales at a portly 62 lbs. For comparison my 15x8" Minilite with a comparable size Hoosier 25.5x10-15 vintage race tire is 42 lbs! That's 40 lbs of additional unsprung weight on the rear axle! I also have a rear HRE 540 3 piece 18x9.5 wheel with a 285 tire on my '73 Formula which weighed in at 51 lbs.
