The slot mags are staying as long as I can manage it. They are a bit different than what I have seen everybody running. First off they are not repro's, these are the real deal, they even have the western wheels spinners for them. I've seen these going for serious money on ebay...
The other difference, which is kind of good and kind of not, is that these are actually van wheels, not truck wheels. I think it was done on purpose back in the 70's for the california low rider look, but these only have 3.5" backspacing. What is good about that is that the clearance to the A-arms is great! What isn't so good (IMO) is that the 295's stick out of the fenders a bit too much.
I hope to end up using some 275's eventually in front and maybe solve the "bubble" tire look a bit. The mags also need polished but I need to find time first.
Oh yeah I will get to the big block...
