How bout these apples!?

Got some wheels. I thought I wouldn't be getting these until I was closer to the end, but I need them for suspension setup reasons. They are 16x8 American Racing, Salt Flat Specials with 215/40/16 Goodyears. It took me forever to decide on a wheel and tire combo, because I wanted to have the fattest tire possible that didn't have a side wall taller than 3.5" tall. More so I needed to keep the overall diameter under 23". These tires have an 8.5" tread width. I struggled with putting 16's on a rabbit because I really wanted 13's, but this was the best combo. I might end up getting drag tires on maybe 13's or 14's so I can fit a tall side wall under the rear arches. Anyway, that's all for now. I won't be doing all that much in the next month because of Chrismas and I'm buying a house and doing improvements on it.

Slow Going

Well I haven't been doing much lately. I did start cleaning and stripping the unibody frame rails. I'm still trying to figure out what way I want to strip the body with. I'm not going with a chemical bath because it's too expensive. I'm also not going to pay someone to sandblast it. So that leaves it all up to me. I'm most likely going to do a combination of paint stripper and sandblasting. Anyway, I have decided on wheels; salt flat specials. However, I can't decide how wide to get them. I need some advice with that. I'm thinking about 15x8's but I'm still not sure what tire size to run. Anyway, here is a quick p-chop of the wheels on my beater.
