Title: Logical Progression Post by: Ivan on February 02, 2010, 23:57:06 pm Want proof that you need sort axles and fat rubber on a '67? The first photo is my '67 with long axles and 165 Michelins circa 1994. The second is the same car 14 years later with Sway-A-Way short axles and Dunlop 205/65s.

My long axles had 165 tires and now have 195 tires. I like the way both look. Title: Re: Logical Progression Post by: fredy66 on February 03, 2010, 09:15:05 am Ivan your car is the reason Way i,m inn to cal-look.

Off with the 205s on with the 165s it looks and hooks so much better.IMHO :) 205s (http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b8d624b3127ccec49fae96242800000040O08AcsWLJw0ZtQe3nwY/cC/f%3D0/ps%3D50/r%3D0/rx%3D550/ry%3D400/) 165s to follow Title: Re: Logical Progression Post by: Brother Lovedub on February 03, 2010, 13:46:44 pm (http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff116/stevieharkins/IMG_3217.jpg)
135 and 165 combination on '67 long axles. Title: Re: Logical Progression Post by: benssp on February 03, 2010, 15:49:09 pm I think what you need to remember is original BRM's have a 5mm offset and the Burners on your NOS '67 ;D will be 42mm......so, taking into account that the burners are 1/2" wider the should still sit 43mm further in than the berms so if you use them with short axles you will need to use spacers to clear the spring plates and fit the caps. My calculations might be out, why they can't just use backspace rather than offset the world would be a better place ;D
Here's mine with 67 axles, 205/60's and 35mm offset wheels (http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b392/benssp/DSCF2072.jpg) Title: Re: Logical Progression Post by: Rocket Ron on February 03, 2010, 15:57:22 pm I needed 15mm of spacer with the gas burners to get them to sit anywhere near where my deep 6 fuchs sat
