Pin Drive Wheel Fit Picture

Larry N. Johnson · Aug 8, 2003

This shows the fit of the 15 x 9 1/2" rear Halibrand Cobra II pin-drive wheels:

3850
with 295/50R15 Goodgear Eagle GT II tires.
Rear IRS track narrowed 2 1/2" per side (compared to Fox4 59 1/2" standard) using FFR tubular arms and axles.

Fronts are 15 x 7 1/2" rims with 235/60R15 Goodgear Eagle GT II tires
Front IFS track narrowed with FFR lower tubular pin-drive control arms.

The shine on the Magnesium rims was using Hollywood's metal polish.

For a more complete selection of weels available for FFR roadsters, see WHEEL GALLERY INPUT

So far so good. Thanks for all the Forum help out there!!

larry,
the car is beautiful.
i believe in a previous post you said "i would not do pin drives again." given the results, maybe you'd like to take that back, but my question is, if you did it again what would you do?
many thanks
regards

I also like the results, but the pin part is a hassle as they are 50% non-concentric as discussed. (used 40 to get 20 that worked right)

I would achieve a similar look with 5-lug, using Team III or PS Eng rims and the IRS.

The only thing that concerns me is that the Team III's are 8" and 10" (wider by 1/2") and the Backspace has to be dead on to fit 295's in there without any mods.

Thabnks for the comment.
