Buckeye1647545503 Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have seen it around it bolts to the spindle/axle and then has a slider that allows you to measure what tire and offset is perfect for your setup. My car is differant in the wheel wells and I need this to see what the max I can fit is. I would like to borrow this for a short bit if possable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 if its for the fairmont talk to derek wheel well size is similar to a turbo coupe yes but I am most likely puting a narrowed 9 in it and that make is all differant wheel well space wise I can fit a 325 but only if they are centered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Do I see a solution? Scott needs one, Rob needs one...I say split the cost and then everyone is happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 split the cost, but then who gets to keep it? Whoever's car is faster. Or first to make a sucsesful pass without leaving an oil slick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I say Scott get's it M-W-F and Rob gets it T-TH-S and the go every other SU...The only thing we might need to worry about then is what happens during a leap year.

Guest Removed Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 i was thinking of buyying it and letting scott use it, but whatever? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monte433 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Like someone said before take a peice of angle iron and drill two holes so that it will fit over the lugs flat on the drum and cut to fit in your well, then you can measure and mark tire dia. of choice on the angle and measure from that point to and obstructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 I would suggest putting the axle in the car before trying to figure rim offset but thats just me... stock on a foxbody is zero so if you narrowed it 2 inches you'd want +2" to keep it centered.....
