So I'm not quite sure what to do here. To get my rex road worthy, I need some wheels. I've decided to go with Diamond Racing Wheels because they are cheap and they have a 4x110 bolt pattern. The body kit I have on right now says the front wheel size should be 8.5" and the back should be 9.5" in width. Diamond Racing doesn't offer those sizes, they offer 8" and 10". Should I go with 10" all around, or should I look into getting a different brand? Here is the the Mariah website, http://mariahmotorsports.com/ . Go to products, exterior, 79-85, then Mariah Mode One - Wide Body Package. They have the specs there for the kit. Here are the wheels I will most likely be getting, the Challenger series wheels in 15", http://diamondracingwheels.com/challenger.html . Let me know what you guys think, I would like to get this rex road worthy. And one last thing, would +40 offset be good, or what would you guys recommend? Thanks for the help.

 

They only give fairly vague specifications on the fenders but I think you could pull off a 10" in the rear and id go 8" up front.

Is your car -se or non-se? I know that diamond racings wheels have very low offsets which may be the determining factor.

 

It's a 79 w/ an 83 engine tranny and gsl rear

 

I think a safe bet would be to order two 10" and test them out on the front and see if they rub, if not, order the next two. So I think I will do that, and order them as soon as I get my check for the accident.

 

I am considering the same thing. I am def doing 10's in the rear,I'll have to keep my eyes on your threads to see how it comes out for you. Diamond also does custom offsets and widths. If you haven't called you should see if they will do a 9" for you.

 

I sent them an email a couple weeks back and they said they only do 10" and 8". I would go 9" in the front, but oh well. I'm probably going to order them Wednesday or Thursday. I'm going to go with around a 4.5" backspacing most likely (like Dan s young), but just keep an eye on my thread and I will let you know how it goes.

 

Thanks,and I will def keep an eye out.
