Nice ute mate.

Don't know what it is about HR's but a lot of colours don't suit them so choose wisely...

What exaclty is the original colour? I don't normally like greens but they can look fr0cking nice on HR's!

You've got the right idea - black 14's and whitewalls. That's a nice colour, period correct too. Big improvement on white I reckon

Edit: that blue one actually looks realllly good.

yeah thanks, thanks what im going for, this is my idea to create a peroid correct car that a rich teenager in the 60's could have done up, completely different to what my other build was going to be, but its more practicle and would be cheaper as well, seen as though its going to be my daily.

what a drama that turned out to be, put all the wheels on only to find that they hit, i thought that it was the wheel hitting the caliper but it was the big weights the tyre shop put on, we told the the small stick on ones on the inside of the rim but no they had to do it the easier and cheaper way!!! no ive got two wheels with scratches around the inside lip of the wheel arggh, at least it was any easy fix and wiped off luckly as they just came back from the powdercoaters. so a quick phone call to my mate found me riding up the street and grabing a set of 8mm spacers for $20 not to bad, and now it has come to this point, the wheels all fit nice and perfectly and look amazing!! at school so cant post pictures yet. but they are coming.

if youve used 8 mm spacers perhaps you should invest in some longer studs. I had to when i ran 16x8.5 corvette wheels on my tonner, as there was sfa thread left for the wheel nuts to thread onto.

With the right offset you can get 265 50s under an HR.

What they're trying to say is find a set of wheels that actually fit, and you'll be able to get a nicer tyre underneath without resorting to unsafe, illegal spacers...

Car looks sweet though, I love those mirrors

its really hard to get some orignal wheels for it, 13's dont fit because it has upgraded hht/k/g brakes on it and the 14's where only just hitting the ball joint on full lock so only small spacers, not extremely unroad worthy, if you have an idea give it to me??

Steel wheels are easy to get the offset changed. Wheel places can cut out the centre and weld it where you want it. Not too expensive either and a whole lot safer than spacers.
