1967 Chevy C10 Buildup - 22 Inch Rims

19-20. Looking at the IRS with the ‘bags inflated and then deflated, it's awesome to see the huge travel and flexibility of the dual U-joints. Were all of those dimensions and specs built into the original engineering program, or did you create that setup/design afterwards?

21-23. On any ride, the wheels and tires can make all of the difference. Can you give our readers some tips on taking some quick measurements to get the perfect-fitting wheel and tire combo?

24. Once you've taken the wheel/tire measurements, can you just punch those specs into your program to get the proper camber/caster and toe?

25-26. On project: The Show, the Bonspeed wheels and Nitto tires look amazing in my opinion. What are your thoughts on wheel/tire choice? Were you trying to get a big lip on the rear of the truck when taking measurements?

27-30. Aaron, once you saw the chassis down from the table and on the ground as a rolling frame, what kind of feeling was that? Were you relieved that the project was making progress or were excited to see your creation go from thoughts in your head, to design, to fabrication, to finally assembled?

Most people think I hit a couple buttons on the keyboard and the engineering program pops up a picture for me. To use the engineering program you have to imagine what it is you want to build before designing it.

Think of a blank piece of paper and a pen, but when you draw each line it's exactly the length you want it to be and each angle is specifically measured out to create a proportional image. I was able to research the specs on the U-joints and half shafts. By using those specs, I was able to animate the design of the IRS to make certain the specs would apply to my design.

When purchasing wheels and tires a 10-inch wide wheel is usually about 10.5 inches wide. So this can make your measurements change dramatically.

The best way to figure out the backspacing is to take a straight edge and put it on the mounting surface of your vehicle, measure horizontally from the straight edge to the inside lip of the fender and again from the straight edge to the closest obstructing object. I.E. leaf spring, link bar, wheel tub, ect.

With these measurements you can figure the widest wheel and tire combination that will suit your needs.

Again, I don't just punch those specs onto to the computer. I'll draw the wheel and tire with the proper back spacing, width, and diameter. I then put that image into an assembly of parts to make sure I have clearance.

This truck is a hot-rod C10 and nothing speaks hot rod more then deep billet wheels in the rear. I called Bonspeed and asked them what the deepest they can make on a 22-inch wheel is.

They asked me what the vehicle was, and I said just make the biggest lip you can. They asked me if the truck was bagged or lowered, and I said just make the biggest lip you can. I made the front lip as minimal as possible to accentuate how deep the lip is in the rear.

It’s the same feeling I have with any accomplishment on the truck.
Each individual part and piece is intricate and tedious in itself. I don't really think about the project as a whole, but focus more on making that one part the best I can.

As much as I think about and imagine the finished product, the actual vehicle in front of me is always better than I can picture it in my head.
