18's with 275s on a Duster

To get the correct measurements, I would recommend referring back to post #6.

Yep, just wanted to make sure. I measured from the lip of the inside rim to the WMS . I get 4.5" BS on the 18x9. I have the same 14" brake kit that 72Blu has so I can just copy his spec. I might just take it to a wheel specialist and have them configure them to that offset. I would like to watch so I could do it myself in the future but it's a critical piece of safety and I'm sure there is a method to changing wheel hoops out. I was overthinking it. 18x9 has already been done and I just have to follow suit with the known offset.


For the rear 18x10, I made a mistake initially and measured the bs at 6 but I redid it in better light and a straighter edge and it's 5.75" b.s. It can work out because I have a 68-70 B-body 8.75 I can cut to A-body width. I will use Dr. Diff's 11.7" kit and use the 1/2" spring relocation shackles and bracket on the 8.75 build. This combination of housing, brakes, and spring location allow my 18X10 +6 to work.
