ALright Matt this is looking really good and has me wondering. I just got my front flares from the dealer so I imagine once you install you will have the perfect look you have been desiring.

Sweet! Love the look!

Looks like your running the 9" wheels still up front. Regardless i always thought this is how the trucks should have come originally with spacers etc. Looks beefy.

I was going to run 315's up front as well but when i was getting my wheels mounted my guy didnt have any used 315s which werent run flats, and i did not want rfts.

I run a slight stretch because i got 275;s michelin diamaris from him although cant complain because they were 8.5/9/32nds and i paid $160 including mount for both, these tires normally run $400 a pop.

Next tire change though im going 315 most likely

You got good eyes! I actually do have 10.5in front, but, as you've noticed, the spokes don't have as much concave as the rears do. FULL DISCLOSURE: they're reps! I know, I know, don't hate on me, but I have a complete set of replica 87's that I took off somebody's hands. My 2nd set of OE 87's are getting refinished, so I just put these on 'cause I couldn't wait! I know, everybody, don't try to figure out how many sets of wheels I have! I have a feeling I'm gonna have to post some pics of my stacks of wheels so you all believe me.

After I installed the reps, I noticed they're different than the OE wheels. Figured somebody would notice...

Interesting. Reason why i said 9 inchers was because the concave was missing, but it didnt feel 100% right cause the sidewalls would be really "fat" with a 315 on a 9" and they werent. Guess the 10.5 reps were made without the actual concave design of OE.

1. With all these '87's lying around could you get them on a scale for weight measurements?

2. Wow the reps have a huge difference in look / concave-ness. Would they would clear Brembo calipers??

3. Looking forward to see this complete with OEM 10.5" wheels and flares on.


P.S. In case you decide to get brakes down the road, the OEM spoke comes millimeters from the caliper, here's a pic FWIW:
