This was going to be Donnie's Birthday day present, but he has done so well in school and Dad is getting anxious to get the project moving along. So we mounted up so Centerline wheels.
I really wanted to put good tires and wheels on this car. Centerline has had a great reputation for off-road wheels for a long time. There wheels are very strong and very light. I think they also look very cool also. We started with the front Centerline wheels.
For tires we have chosen a very aggressive tread 7.00x15. Tucson has a lot of desert that this tire will work well on. These wheels do not come with a valve stem, so we put some on.
Jackson mounted up the front and rear wheels and tires. We are not sure about the exact tire we are going to run on the rear yet. So we mounted up some 31's that we had lying around.
Now these look like Baja Bug Tires. The fronts are 15x3.5 standard offset.
We used a minimum offset 15x7 rear Centerline. With stock rear arms, it sure made the tires stick out nice. Very close to the front width.
What a difference!
From a couple a views.
A couple more.
We also put some black roll bar padding around the roll bar in the front half. There is even a rear view mirror mounted to the top cross bar. I wanted to say thanks to all of the nice note that have come across e-mail and by phone. As always, if I can be of any help just let me know.
