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. :D

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:
