I use both 285/30/18 on a 10+" wide rim and 275/ 35/18 on a 9-1/2" wide rim on the front of a Duster. The 10" required me to add about an 1-1/2" to he lower fender support rod and I swapped out the upper control arms with SPC Adjustable Control Arms. I didn't have to do any other metal work...

Pirelli P Zero. If you street drive you car get a tire with tread. Seems everyone on here thinks a race tire with a couple "tread grooves" is a good idea... until it rains or snows...

I'd just skip all those skinny tires and just go with 355/30/19's on the back. there is an Avon 375 that will fit Duster's

I like it. Looks like the builder is on his way to a completed car. With the body painted.

Just make your own lines. It's not hard and you can put them where you want.

I see this keeps popping up. The simple way of installing these is to make a fiberglass mold of that area on your trunk. They make silicone sheeting that has a "sticky back" on one side that you can apply to your painted truck lid to lay up fiberglass on. I'd cover the rest of the back of the...

I take it that the wheel is a generic wheel that came on the car from the factory. Just buy a new one from a salvage yard. That's a no brainer. For custom wheels that you can no longer find anywhere, both cast and forged aluminum can be fixed. There are several companies that offer the...

Looks like Firm Feel needs to use your pictures to make instructions.

It's a Center-Locking Distorted Thread Lock Nut ( or reversible locknut ) and they are NOT REUSABLE. If you take them off you are supposed to replace them. Supposedly they grip a little better than a nylon insert locknuts... But they are more than likely to cause damage to the external threads...

The big Craftsman Professional Tool Boxes were made by a company named Waterloo Industries here in the states... They also made boxes for Snap-On, Milwaukee, Husky, U-Line, Kennedy and US General... I designed the adjustable tooling years ago that bent the steel for the drawers. And the...

I am always wondering why the tire clearance issue comes up when people do spring relocations. The correct answer: These cars had +/- 1/8" tolerance in the sheet metal assembly on the assembly line. So not everyone will have the same answer. And what fit on ones persons car may not fit someone...

I've never had to pay any fees (or taxes) with any junkyard I've ever been to in my area. Usually everything is a cash deal. Even the classic car junkyard filled with 7,000 cars from the 40's thru the 70's ... is always cash (and expensive). The bigger problem is when you think you are going to...

Holy **** that's some cobbled up wiring. Did you unplug the bulkhead connector from the firewall and clean that up? I do it every spring on my Mopars with just terminal cleaning spray and the spray protectant you can get over the shelf. If it's never been done you might be surprised what you...

Make a fiberglass mold of your trunk lid where it mounts. Vacuum bag it. Then you need to build a welded frame out of aluminum that mounts on top of the mold you just made that that you can put studs in to mount it to your trunk. if you don’t box in the fiberglass Duck Tail Spoiler it will...

I can see what you are saying Mopar Leo because I can see clearly because I don't smoke a lot of pot while I'm at work in a California weed shop. You are saying plan your suspension to reach your goal, do it once and save your money. I see a lot of guys throwing 15" cop car rims on their car...

Rear Mini tub & spring relocate 355/30/19 tires 19x12 rims (50mm offset, but I have a modest narrowed rear. It’s just under stock A body width). If you look at most 12” or 13” wide rear rims you will find more off the shelf rims will have around a 50mm offset. Front 275/35/18 tires 18x9 rims...

355/30/19 Just mini-tub your car. I don’t regret doing it. And it gives the car a proper stance and the pro touring look I wanted.

Nope. You had them installed wrong. You just won’t admit it. And I have first hand knowledge you did so and Hotchkis just wanted to quiet you down because you were ruining their business.

There is no set regulations as to how these get made. (2) maybe made one way, (2) another way. Or (4) different from each other. It’s eBay! The only thing they will have in common is the adapt the bolt patterns and are about the same thickness. You need to look for T6 billet ones. Then you need...

Lower profile tires and less forgiving radials today. But I remember working on old muscle cars in the 80’s and having vibration issues and tires that made wallowing sounds as they were driven down the road. And who doesn’t remember somebody having their shank style lugnuts whop out a rim?

Once again this is completely wrong information. The hub centric Chrysler uses is 2.805" [ 71.25mm ] DIA not 71mm . That would be a .010" interference if you used 71mm. If the hub in your rims were ordered with a 71mm bore, and they don't seem to slide over the hub centric on the axle or...

Spherical rod ends we’re invented in Germany by the Nazi’s. In WW2 we Americans shot down a Nazi plane and we discover them used on it. So we gave them to the Heim Company and the Brits have theirs to the Rose Company to produce for the war effort. As much as we call them Heim joints here, the...

They aren't called Heim's, because that's a vendor name. Just like you wouldn't call phenolic by Synthane. Maybe we should call them QA1's because they make the best ones. It's your logic? One guy I work with calls them Heimi's when we test for Chrysler. Actually... you didn't have them...

Wrong again 72blubberboo. They swivel. If you worked in engineering you know the many different terms for Heim Joints. That name came from a patent the Heim company held for a “Mechanical Joint”. And they all swivel. Oh, my terminology is correct. I know the names that are used. But you are...

That's actually a lot misinformation! And as usual, very incorrect. The do swivel. Many people use the slang "Swivel Joint" when referring to Heim Joints. But they are also called "Rod Ends", "Spherical Rod Ends", "Mechanical Rod Ends" or "Bearing Rod Ends". QA1 manufactures some of the best on...

I'd mini tub your car. The rear axle is done except your perches will have to be relocated.

I would have pulled that guy over and yelled “You know what buddy! You need to get a hold of Daniel Stern Lighting and get you headlights fixed”

Cubie’s have a cut off to help prevent what you are describing. But a lifted truck would have the prisms in its lens that would put its light right in the eyes of people driving cars lower to the ground.

Mr Stern ; I bought my Cibie E Code housing from you years ago. They work great in my opinion. They seem to throw light down the road really well and off into the sides very well. Are you telling me there is a better option? You still sell Cibie E codes on your web page. I like them because...

In Michigan if you don't have a title to a car purchased for under $2500. You can have a licensed auto sales man appraise it. If that appraisal says it's under $2500 you can fill out a form at the Secretary of State and apply for the title. If they don't find a recent registered owner, or prior...
