Finnegan's Garage Ep.67: Did I Just Install the Widest Front Wheels on a Chevy C10 Ever?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I'm gonna drive my 1967 Chevy C10 this summer. That's my goal. Before I can proceed with the remaining fabrication projects on this truck, though, I need to nail the wheel and tire fitment. In this episode I work with 2 U Tires to find find the perfect wheel and tire combination for my truck and show you how to fit the widest wheels and tires possible on your lowered car or truck.
The key is a tool called the Gryp-R. It's a fixture that bolts onto the hub of your ride and holds nearly any tire in place so that you can check the fitment before you spend your hard-earned cash on the wrong set of wheels and tires. It's easy to use and as you'll see in this video you can get all the critical measurements done in a matter of minutes.
I ended up stuffing the widest tires I've ever seen on the front of a lowered Chevy C10; I ordered a set of 295/30ZR20 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires from Summit Racing and then had Forgeline build a set of GA3R wheels in 20x10.5 size with 4-inches of backspacing. The wheels have Forgeline's optional "open lug" design and are extremely light.
You can find the tires here:
www.summitracing.com/parts/mh...
And the You can check out the wheels here:
forgeline.com/wheel/ga3r-open...

I verified tires for a living, way back when, for a premium brand tire company, in one of their elite factories. There are many criteria we test for. And we have computerized road test machines that measure those criteria, through piezo-electric crystal sensors. And an out of round tire or other deficient parameter tire does not get sold as an on road vehicle tire. The extremely high end tire is built by robot, to extremely tight tolerances. All joints have almost no overlap and yet are as strong as the rest of the product. It's fascinating stuff. I have never stopped being impressed by it. Needing no weights at all shows the highest quality standards of the tire manufacturer, the wheel manufacturer, the care that the logistics people put into packaging and shipping, and the quality of the installer. I was very impressed. It should inspire greatness for the rest of the build. It's looking great so far.
i wish i found a tire guy like him in houston. he is so knowledgeable!
It never ceases to amaze me the amount of skill and knowledge the different trades entail when done properly. All the little details that we would never think of or consider that it takes to do it right.

Have worked in tire shops a lot in the past and never once have I seen an aluminum centering cone, they were all made out of hardened steel. Neat service, it seems you hear about not getting the correct offset in custom wheels on forums a lot. Smart!!! Hope your build goes well, looks good so far.

If you look closely, there are weights on the wheel ^^ The video is probably sponsored by Forgeline and Michelin, the part saying that the combo wheel - tire is perfectly balanced is just advertising.

@@bobrollans8460 Not sure what was up with that. May have been some kind of issue. I just had MPSC2 tyres installed on Forgeline GA1R Open. Not a single weight was used. We did need to remove one tyre and offset it slightly different to the valve/TMPS sensor assembly by rotating it about 90 degrees. But otherwise, using the weight markings on three of the wheels, we got them spot on the first time.
Really enjoyed seeing Scott's operation, has me wanting to count my pennies and get involved. Scott seems like a great guy too. I think you made all the right moves on this one Finnegan, looks great.
