Pretty good, I like the look- the only thing is *I* might like the rim part to be not quite so shiny, but that's mostly just when looking down at them from an up close angle.
With your front tires, the 275/35r18 on a 9.5” rim with 5.25 backspacing there any rubbing or issues at all? Like hitting a bump while going around a corner at full lock. I’m also keeping my torsion bars and going with Hotchkis upper and using QA1 lower control arms so our suspension should be almost the exact same. I’m probably going to do the same size tires but on the rim I will go with 9” wide rim with 5” backspacing.
i have good clearance at the fender, at full lock the rear of the tire is about .125" from the frame...but I am never at full lock other than a parking lot. Never when when driving. I did trim the excess of my wheel well moldings as they extend a good .125" or more into the fender. I did that just for insurance. Kool, I almost went 9" but my friends who road race/atuox alot talked me into 9.5" as it will give you a better/flatter contact patch with a 275. if not competing with the car it wouldn't matter at all.
Wheels and tires look amazing. Great choice and I will be honest I was skeptical when you announced in an earlier video that you would be going with 18's. Can't wait for the video when you go for a road test.
Thats a good lookin Cuda!
Thanks I appreciate it 👍
Beautiful, brought tears to my eyes as 50 years agoI had a 1970 Barracuda Gran Coupe Red!!!
I paid $1,500 for it in 1972
the price these sold for in the 70's and even 80's was crazy!
Very nice! Love the road racing look of the wheel and tire combo. Great stance!
thanks, I am still really pleased with how it turned out.

Dude! The wheel and tire package looks perfect! I definitely have wheel and tire envy. Your build is spot on. Very nicely done. Full respect.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it!
Beautiful, beautiful wheels and tires! I am a torque thrust d guy but these wheels are nice. Gary
Thanks a lot Gary, Torque Thrust D are classic and will never go out of style. Good choice.

Any chance you Wade...
...the new wheels and tires?
Lol no thought off that after they were on. I always could in the future

I think its a nice contrast, polished lip and cast/silver inner. Maybe the shiny bits will distract from all her dents and scratches lol

Thanks Dave, I agree I am not a big fan of must if the larger wheels people use but I really like these
What calipers and rotors are you using?
Baer 14” 6 piston up front and Baer 13” 4 piston in back. I Have videos installing those too⬇️
Google translate says that Azenis means donkeys in Latin, and Falken is falcon in German!
flying donkey....perfect :-)
