Road Runner Nest

My birthday wish came true! 17x9 0"offset



on the rear of my 71 runner


to the rear (non relocated)spring 1 1/2" clearance


to the inside lip 1 1/4" clearance


sorry no front pics as my front suspension is all out and not put together!
They look as good as they did on the net! Only wish they had the beauty ring instead of the polished lip!

good news everybody - went and weighed them at the station today - it says 10kg or 22 lbs, take it with a grain of salt - i don't know the accuracy of it

I went to the old mans house and he had a 72+ center and it fits perfect even the holes on the back match up




then went to a buddy of mines house and he had a 71 center - its a little sunk but everything still matches and lines up





he also told me of a great website that sells the centers at a decent price:

Where are they made?

honestly i think china

That looks awesome!!!

I love them and want a set for my 73 Satellite. Please be sure to post pictures when they are on the car. The 0 offset looks great for the rear fitment. What size tires do you plan on going with?

looks good...

i can't wait to see the complete car with the wheels on...

I plan on going with 275/40/17's all around so I can do tire rotations - it won't be until spring until i get the tires on the rims, i 'm still working on the car - about halfway finished. Still haven't decided on what rubber to get as it will be my dailydriver as well as my autox car

seperate question was the rallye ever used on the 71 roadrunner? which center caps did it have? I like the look of the 72+ caps the more I see them...

Can't wait to see them on the car (with tires). Yes rallye's were originally available on 71 runners in both 14" and 15" versions. The dark center cap in your photos is correct for 71.

Thanks! on some websites they only list abodies as a 71 rallye center cap

i too would like to see pics after you get them on. furthermore if anyone has them i would like to see a car on the 17" magnums they have available. i have kicked around the idea of the magnums, i like the thought of the black more than the silver on my car because it has a gold stripe.

not mine - they look not bad but their is something about them I can't put my finger on - not as good as the rallyes

i agree. i think maybe its the machined lip but you are right the rallye looks better. thanks for the picture you might have saved me a return shipping charge. cant wait to see yours mounted.

That Charger would look better with bigger (larger profile) tires....like this one
