Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Right now I have a lowered beam, standard width, and the wheel looks 'even' with the wheel well. I asked Pete and he assured the 4" will take me to the desired look and BRM 'safe'. I will definitely take the 165/45 in to consideration. Thank you.

I'm running one of Pete's (Airkewld) 4" ball joint beams in my '66 and I love it. The one thing I'd suggest is that you make sure 4" is enoug for the backspacing on yor BRM's. I'm running 5 spokes and I wanted to fill the wheel well so I went 4" If you want it "tucked" with those BRM's you might look at 5 or 6" and you'll probably end up sacrificing some turn radius. Why not 165/45's instead of 145's? They're actually smaller overall diameter and give you a wider footprint (IE more stopping power) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----- Brian Blakesley | "We think we are free.
