I am not sure if in that pic if he had the wider rear tires or not. I know he swapped them and then had some major rubbing issue.

You're welcome Pete. It's been my wallpaper for some time now.
Yep, name is Dave, super nice guy. Wish he came out with us more but is a busy man.
Some of those pics are mine that I took, not the graffiti one.
Nice pics Jeff.
The Graffiti pic has been my wallpaper on my computer for about two months now. Such a beautiful car. Wish he was more active. He really built that car super nicely.
Just an FYI............................................... ..TireRack has 1 less set of Mach 1 wheels out of the 4 sets in Nevada.
I wonder who bought them.

Not trying to steal the thread by anymeans, just curious...
That coupe sure is a nice FE!
What tire size did he move up to and experience rubbing issues? I've run a 275/50 in the back on a 5.5" b.s. wheel (fox axles) and still had 3/4" - 1" between the tailpipes and about 3/4" between the tightest part of the wheelwell and the tire with no BFH clearancing or modifications whatsoever.
Think those Mach 1 wheels are a 5.72" b.s.? I could see a large 275/40-17 with that backspacing rubbing in the corners or with maximum axle articulation, etc. A 1/4" spacer (with good wheel studs) would solve that though!

I'm pretty sure the Machs have the same back spacing as bullitts.

My wheels arrived on Wednesday. Time to set the two toned coupe aside for a bit and do the 5 lug conversion on the T-top coupe.

I went with Cooper Zeon 2XS 255/40/17. So I won't have any rubbing issues in the front. Plus the wider tread will look great!

Is there a part number on the front rotors? Just wondering what vehicle they are originally for.

I am not sure. It is a complete kit with front rotors and rear drums and axles with all the seals and bearings. This kit might be the same as the one from LMR.
