The front tires were 265/35 18 and there rears were 275/35 18. Backspacing I am not sure of, but I don't think there were a lot of options for these - they are standard FR500 knockoff rims from aftermarket wheel suppliers.

Caprice headlights were around 1990 i believe.

Why not a nice set of old D-70's instead? It's an inside joke folks.

The price was a deal. You have no idea how hard it was to dig those old tires out of the river bed and clean them up. They were under 40 years of silt and gravel.

Yeah, that and the fact that you didn't have any money left after spending it all on gas.
