Where did the l&b wheels come from? Backspace? Body or frame mods to make them fit?

Fenders were rolled from previous wheels

No rubbing
Sorry I didn't measure the backspace before I mounted them,
But if you call these guys they will fix you up.

Sorry I didn't measure it before I installed them. The manufacturer took care of it all.

Motor is out, that's why the front is sitting so high.

BS is 4.75 all the way around. Haven't driven the car with these wheels on because I've been putting my motor together so I don't know if they'll rub

Wound up selling those and getting a set of the grand national Budniks, then wound up selling those and the car and bought the 87 I have now. I did love them till I put the Budniks on. Lol

so u liked the budniks better???

 

[1984 t-type]

without a doubt

without a doubt

what size and how much did you pay for the wheels?? sorry for all the questions... Wonder if they are still making them?

 

[1984 t-type]

They are still making them, bought mines off the forum from a member. Not cheap new but really not too expensive compared to a set of Forgiato or Amani Forged that everyone is putting on custom cars now days. As with anything price depends on the size, think they do from 15" - 22" just check their web site. Budniks are high quality custom wheels so just keep that in mind. Also for anyone looking for a 18" + GTA wheel Amani Forged makes a comparable wheel, I will try and find a pic.

 

[1984 t-type]

They make these up to like a 26" or so
