Ive only just joined and have never been on any forum before.
There are so many awesome pics of every one's panteras on here ... cool!
With regard to the wheels on my car, i wanted to do a GT-4 build and have the widest wheels possible but also i guess have the same width wheels as the factory GR-4 but with bigger diameter (to be able to get tyres easier)
Anyway, there were no off-the-shelf that big so had to get 18"x14" rears and 16"x9.5" fronts made (in my case, i like the Pantera to look little and low in the front thats why i went the 16's) it also gave it a raked hot-rod look.
I got standard Hall Pantera GT-4 fiberglass flares, but when i worked out the wheel offset, i later realised that i stuffed up the measurement after we bolted them on! ... they were too deep dish so therefore i had to widen both flares at the top by 1-1/2" each, (but the overall width of flare at top of tyre level did not increase quite by that much).
Anyway all this stuff-up resulted in a (accidental) really tuff look, very deep dish wheel and probably ended up with the widest Pantera around haha ...
The 14" rear rim width was a little too wide, it means that only 345 minimum tyres can fit and they are stretched to their limit and really hard to get now too.
By the way, I just sold that Pantera!! - i thought i never would, wish i still had it
... but am building another GT-4, its also black at the moment but am considering a color change ... see it at http://wildpantera.comThis time i will get the same wheels made but probably 18"x13.5" and 17"x9" so i can fit 335's Probably go brushed alum, might try adding some black to the wheel???
