They're Vintage Wheels....
8.5 inch front
10.5 inch rear.

The knock off / pin drive wheels needed some room on the front to allow for the pin drive adaptor...so I had bigger front guards created for them..a bit of mucking around with the fibreglasser to get it the way I wanted...but all good now.
The rear width of the Ford Thunderbird I.R.S. is pretty narrow, which allowed a fairly deep dish wheel.
No other changes to the rear bits...other than the diff.
The diff I got didn't have L.S.D. , so I've fitted a "Detroit Truetrac LSD"

Current rear ratio is 3.27 / 1.....
I'll see how it goes with the 6 speed Tremec , before I consider any change ......not really much point in changing it to ...say..a 3.5 / 1 ?...until I suck it and see .
Cheers
