Nice idea for a project log, Arin.
This should be a very "interesting" thread to watch.
Good Luck on the II.

 

To get a ride i'd have to road trip out there... but everyone should go cross country at least once right? What kind of pizza do you want?

 

i'll have an extra large, with bbq chicken, onions, jalepenos, bell peppers, and that special bbq-ish sauce they have across the street and a few blocks away from san bruno goodyear....

 

whoa.... check it out! sw this on ebay, and i HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!!

heck YESS!!!!!

my wheels jsut arrived on the doorstep!

theres 215/85/13s on the rears and 165/80/13

but whats weird is that they r 14" wheels :scratch: i even measured....
pics:



plenty of tread on the rears.... not so much on the fronts

EDIT: still cant beleive i only got em for $200 :P

 

That is AWESOME!!!!

Hurry and put your Baby's new shoes on!

 

im trying! need to get to goodyear, ASAP lol

 

Arin, nice find for your lil' pony.

 

just thought of something. since the tires are R13, i should be able to re-use the tires from my other wheels. but seeing as they are only 195s, i'll use them only on the fronts. which means i already have my new front tires, and another set for as soon as those get used up!

haha! im a genius :P

 

nice wheels Arin!! where did you find them so cheap?

 

:worship: ebay

 

Arin,
I have never heard of anything other than 13" rims from Ford for a II.
Nice find. :w00t:

 

really? then why is it 14" when i measure it? is that just how wheels are?

and also, seeing as they are all 13" will the tires off my old 4 spoke magnum-ish wheels work on these slotted wheels? those ones are 195/65/13 i think. i wanna use those as my front tires only, cuz 165 aint big at all. im keeping the rears with the 215 for now, maybe 235s later. but the thing is, the tires on my old wheels are still good n i wanna use 2 for my current fronts and the other two as spares for the front (the tires, not the wheels) this should work right? am i just overreactiong? i think its my lack of sleep here, i'll stop now lol

 

In that case my 16" rims arent 16's lol.
It's just how they measure them, you know how the bead of the tire is tucked in. Try measuring all rims and you may be surprised how rims are underrated

oh and looking forward to pics. You'll have no problem mixing em up.

 

Awesome wheels arin, what did they come off of?

 

bah, why cant they all just do it my way, with a yardstick? :P

and doug, they came of another 76 cobra II. the other guy was moving up to five lugs n didnt need these anymore.

btw, does anybody have a steam washer thingy? the inside of the rim is pretty dirty on a few of em... i'll give you a tour of Redwood City of you bring em!

i cant wait until my rear tires get used up. im saving up for some 235s

EDIT: so thats why my dads 17" bimmer wheels have 16 inch tires!!!! I get it! NOT!!!!! <_< crazy tire companies, trying to confuse me....

 

I like that wheel too Arin, what does the wheel you have look like?

congrats on getting new wheels so cheap.

 

these are my current wheels



cant wait to get the slots on!

 

Arin, clear your PM folder. I had one bounce back un-sent.

 

Yeah, you can drive it up here to Minnesota, and i'll show you my II now that I have it runnin with the new 347 in it. Late
