Reply With QuoteJust gonna run the gold superlites for now.
I was going to use the set of white Rota grids, but gotta get tyres with more stretch. Need 195/45/R16 for them. Once I burn off the tyres on them now, I will get them fitted.
what wheels do you plan to run?

UPDATE:
Ok, So I have taken the car for its FIRST drive, when I went get signed off for rego.
I was pretty happy with how the build has turned out, but there were some pretty major issues detected on the drive. Major issues, easy fixes....
3 issues..
1. Exhaust was touching the gearbox X/member and vibrating thru the whole chassis
2. I had not removed enough from the shifter hole and the shifter mount part of the box was also touching the chassis, causing loud vibration
3. The van is too low, and too stiff at the back. As I went over bumps, it felt like the rear end was literally bouncing off each bump. Felt like it was getting air! lol
Pretty much 0% suspension travel. The distance between the diff housing and the chassis is maybe an inch, if that. The distance between the centre pumpkin and the chassis, is less than an inch. My adjustable shocks are set on hardest, and if I soften them at all, the diff will definatly impact the chassis harder. I have no choice but to raise the car up. (Ie, removing spacers)
In sensible world, I have to raise it anyway, as this panelvan will be towing my boat alot. (4m tinney)
I have fixed 1 and 2, but still deciding a reliable solution for the rear....
I have a spare set of leaves, so I might send them off to get reset, when I can spare the coin for it.
More soon, with more pics

Cut out floor for the diff
Yeah definately raise the floor, notch the rails too, look up what adam and joel at c's garage did to theirs
As I said, Notching the chassis is not the greatest idea, as I will be towing a boat remember and would like to retain as much strength in the rusty old girl as possible... hahahaa
As the centre pumpkin is just hitting thin sheet metal, I am not as concerned with that as it will eventually "automatically" level out
