Got some amazing barn-find parts for the Cougar for cheap. (Fake drama). Bird droppings included….
Getting some wheels ready to check clearances for the modified wheelhouses. Yep, backspacing is wrong, tires wrong size but only $30 total and the right bolt pattern. And they hold air. Brand-new chrome plated lug nuts however!
Seriously, in cooperation with a local tire shop, these cheap steelies will be used to check clearances, backspacing, and stance prior to dropping some serious money. Given something that fits, everything else about sizes/spacing can be calculated.
