Super rad. 

If you slam it on Supremes you will be my new hero. 

Haha, definitely want to slam it but on Cragar's. Just finding 4 spoke Crager's is proving quite hard. Early days though...

Will be useless to you if you slam it.

But i heard if you run a different tyre pressure in the rear (4-5psi ?)higher it helps the straight line stability of these things.

But if you slam it ive got no idea if that still applies lol.

Im sure high speed isn't the main interest in a low rider haha.

Or option A  http://www.jegs.com/i/Cragar/260/1422040402/10002/-1

$500 US plus some freight (or get them to put into @chris r's van that is coming from USA to NZ fairly soon)

I know it says golf cart wheel but Cragar list those wheels as 965lb load rating - so unless a Corvair is heavier than 3900lbs with a driver, 3 hookers, a boot load of liquor and a full tank of gas then you're golden.

Yeah I have looked at those. It's cutting it close with the car at 3862lbs. Still, I'll keep them in mind. Pretty cool. I'd just have to check if they can do the stub pattern in 4x4.5 or find adapters etc...

Cheers though man

Just going off my terrible memory but did @73crownwagon not have something similar to that wheel wise on his Vega?  ..at some point? 

Good project and plans though,  I approve.  You see the pic I put in the lowrider thread? 

Cheers man! There's a lowrider thread?! Haha I'll have to find it.
