It was a real struggle to get any accurate Square tube wheel specs back in the day. I believe they were 2.5" or possibly 3" front space all round. I think mine are 2.5" but you could risk 3" if your body was perfectly centrally mounted. I hate wheel rubbing so went with the more cautious 2.5"

I had 3 piece wheels built and on the rear I reckoned I could fit an 11" rim in there (12" total width) A lot of guys were running 9.5" rims but I really wanted to run the 315 tyre and they look a bit distorted on a 9.5" rim. The problem I found though was the bump steer was so bad on the rear that it would make the wheel rub on the inside of the body. With the rear end mods and the relocated coil over mounts I reckon I could fit a 12" rim in there now with no clearance issues.


The rear rims were originally a 9" back half rim and a 2" front half. That presented some problems to make as there was such a deep draw on the sheet of aluminium that he had to make them from thicker sheet. The material got to thin out near the edge. I also got him to weld the rim halves together as I was concerned about their strength.

I like the rear wheels now with a more central offset as I think they make for a stronger wheel. Also makes for a more central load over the wheel bearing.
