Backside views and things; HRE 20x12 with stainless steel fastners and fully polished/clear coated inner barrels.



Stainlees steel fasteners and hardware: Notice the nearly unnoticable valve stem caps on front views. After many thieves stealing my caps over the yrs...they now have to look very, very hard for them!


Backside polished/clear coated (I've learned my lesson over the yrs...painted centers/clear coated inners = less elbow work

Notice the amount of weight reduction by the triangular cut-outs on the backside mounting surface.

Test Fit: Even though Vince (HRE) and I went of the specs 1,000xs, we're still not 100% correct until the rim is on the vehical. According to HRE, if you mount them (tire and rim), you own them!

The weight: Full disclosure

HRE 20x12 is morbidly phat @ 31 pounds!



HRE w/345, Tire senser, and added counter balance weight. WoW!

Yeah, the darn rims were too phat for the scale being used so I had to use two metal rods (@ each end) to hold it onto the scale. I'll weigh both the tire and rim later, but here are a few tire/rim weights.

This is a 18x7 3-piece Niche Pultec (non chrome) painted center aluminum rim wrapped by a 225/40/18 Toyo @ 44.5 pounds.



Old fronts prior to change. 18x8.5

23 Pounder: I need to go back and weigh both the tire and rim.

Originally purchased and stored: June 04.




Finally, I'm ready to move forward!


Isn't strange how a old idea (from a old thread) is being finalized; aided by Troy and Leroy.

The 20x11 Thread (11/4/2003): would it work?
http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/035277.html


The Redux thread (11/14/2004): Semi wide, but not wide enough, but lead to #015 being made. The making of a homebrew widebody. http://www.fiero.nl/forum/F...1/HTML/037188-3.html


Who'd knew we'd have a widebody kit years later? Widebody kit thread: 2/16/2007 http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/064001.html
