The credit for the stance belongs to Nuts - he did all the work on my car to get it passed engineering - including springs etc

Re: Cheapest way to import wheels from USA

included centre caps, wheel nuts and freight.

When that car arrived it was shod in Daisy's. They were 15 X 8 as that was the max size for that weight of car in the Trans Am series in the US. Fronts were 5 on 5" stud pattern (Lincoln brakes) & 5 on 4 1/2" on the rear (Mustang front discs with 4 piston 67 type calipers). It changed out here as the series changed, however the car lost its Minilites then.whitewun wrote:hey 69candy,

Bob Jane's (#7) Mustang was the ex Shelby 68 that Jerry Titus drove. That car is now back in Texas, I believe, but still with the Webber intake & carbs it was allowed to run with in Australia (TA regs allowed one 4bbl carb).

Re: Cheapest way to import wheels from USA
69Candy,
Show wheels seem to have taken over the performance wheels manufacturing. The gallery on there website seems to have been lifted from the old now non existent performance wheels web page.
Show wheels have a showroom in Rowville Victoria.
give them a call - they should know the correct offset.

Re: Cheapest way to import wheels from USA
I've given Showwheels 3 goes at doing wheels for my car. Last time I was in Vic I even went and saw them face to face. Nice bloke, promised the world and never heard from him again. Couple of emails and still no response. I am moving on.
