Yeah, I would like to go narrower up front but unfortunately 7" is the narrowest these wheels come. My car has a 14x7" on it now and while they aren't the easiest to steer while parking I can manage...once I start driving the car regularly though I think I'll develope Popeye forearms lol.

Hey guys,
So it's getting to be the time to decide on wheels and tires for my Bradley, and I'm pretty set on the US Mags U102 (torque thrust replica.) I plan on running a 15x7 up front with a 195/60 or 205/60 tire and a 15x9 out back with a 295/50 tire for an aggressive staggered look. My question is will this be too much tire? The 15x9s have a 5" backspace FYI, and also the car is stock ride height and will probably stay that way. I'm looking to get a really fat tire in back to really fill in the wheel wells. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!

Ok, thanks! Also I have another question for ya- what did you use to bond your roof on? I plan on doing the same before I paint mine.

Hey guys quick question.... Are the holes for mounting the Bradley gt bodies to the pan pre-drilled or did they require drilling by the builder? I ask because it appears my gt's body is a bit off (about a half inch too far over towards the drivers side) and I'm wondering if this was builder error or is it just because the fiberglass has settled and moved around a bit over the 40 years since it's been built (if that can even happen, I'm not too familiar with fiberglass.) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

New to Bradleys.. Got this one from my late grandpa who built it in the 70's. It's all stock with a 1300cc. It's on a '66 pan. It even has the old Goodyear Polyglas tires on ET mags. I have some ideas for it, first getting the brakes fixed and getting it running. I plan on rebuilding the engine and bumping it to 1600cc, upgrading the intake, etc. Right now I have the engine and tank pulled to clean out the tank. Any pointers you guys might have for a Bradley rookie?? I'm just getting familiar with vw air cooled engines... I've always been a Mustang man myself lol.
