Virtual wheel simulator with our cars?

by jonny o Thu May 07, 2009 5:18 pm

Been looking for a wirtual wheel simulator program with our rides in it... anyone find any?
The 3-4 I have found online don't have them.... the one in the Summit retail store doesn't even have 'em.

OR... Can anyone tell me the what a 27-28 inch diameter tire will look in a 76 fender? Looking for as much meat as I can get and thinking of 285/60/16's

OK, maybe it's the angle or I might be seeing things, but is the car sitting higher in the bottom pic?

me too,but after having 18 montys b4 this one and always having rallies on them.I desided that cause the monte had the 454 in it,I should do something different. Very Happy

Thanks guys. By my measurements I'm going to have to do a little trimming at the very bottom of the wheel wells where they close in toward the tire, but I'm hoping it will look filled to the brim.

16x8 with 5 inches of backspacing sound right? I am so close to driving to Summit, I can smell the burning rubber.

28" tires look killer on all mid 70's A bodies if they are lowered a little bit- gives them a bit of that evil NASCAR look..

Kinda what I'm going for... trying to fill up the fenders.
We'll see.
I bought one of those percy's weel measureing things today, hopefully I can try it out tomorrow.

We had 28x11.5 on our 73 malibu, Fit great and looked great, but they were on 15x7 rims so they were balloned a bit.
