Jim, if you could get me the wheel ID that would be great, I really appreciate the help, thanks!!

Hi Jim, car looks great, and hats off to shooting the paint yourself!!  What size tires did you use, and any issues with going 8" with the larger rear tires?  I like the look and leaning heavily toward that size.
Also, a general question on going with the 15" wheels, I have the larger Wilwood brakes w/12.19" rotors.  Do you think there will be any clearance issues with 15" wheels?  Thanks.

Greg and Redstang69, thanks for the response, and I really appreciate the pictures Greg, very helpful.  That verifies what I thought, that the backspace/offset were probably excessive.  I do wish there was a better pipeline for notification of changes, as my build manual seems out of date, but nothing that can't be figured out.  I have been taking pics along the way so I may start a build thread. 

Thanks again!!

All, I am seeking some wisdom and input on the LMR tire and wheel package at the following link:

Here is a summary of the specs, and my concerns are with the backspace/offset figures and how that would work with the front and rear end geometry.  I am the proud owner of HM2036 and upgraded to the larger Wilwood brake package.  I like the FR500 style rims and the Nitto tires, and the package seems like a decent deal.  I ran this by Alec and he had similar concerns, but I am not adverse to using hub centric spacers as needed, as I plan on using this car only as a cruiser, with a mild 347 and T5 transmission. 

WHEEL SPECS
Front

Thanks in advance for any help, and I am in the Tulsa, OK area, so please let me know if there any other Hurricane folks in the neighborhood.  Thanks.
