Do you happen to have any front end/front 3/4 shots you can post? I’m curious to see how the Trigos look on there.

I’m thinking that my 8.5” front wheel width may be the culprit. In looking at the Vintage Wheels website their “standard” front wheel is 7.5”. Obviously backspacing plays a role too. This may ultimately provide my excuse to install a set of FIA wheels on my car—I’ve always liked the look. Maybe front FIAs with my current rear wheels, for that “early 427” appearance, LOL.
