Here's mine. Centerline Warriors 15 X 8 front w/p235-60-15 BFG Radial TA's & 15 X 9's rear w/p295-50-15's. 4.5" backspacing on all rims. It has 4 wheel disc brakes and it could fit more backspacing in the rear if they were drum brakes instead. Go figure.

Thanks, Yours looks like it can do the nasty as well. What does it run & what's your combo? I like the rollbar. Nothing else screams LOOK OUT better than a rollbar. I'm still looking for one of the old Hooker Show Bars for mine. I know they are not " nhra legal" , but most tracks around here will leave you alone if you have one.

I have one of those Hooker bars in my 71, had it since new! If you do find one, I have some old interior side panels that I cut up to use as a template, makes is very easy to trim them close to the bar (the opening). I could lend them to you if you promise to send them back!

Thats a 66 above your post same car im running 10x15 rear with p245/60/r15 with no rubbing, now with that said not all cars are same the flashing or left over steel when the body went down the trim line mine got trimed a little closer then the next having owned 3 66 gtos over the years ive seen the differences, also it is a very easy fix just trim if you have an rubbing issue ive seen up to a 1/4 of an inch that can be trimmed before you get to the weld

15 x 8" Drag Stars with a ET Street 28 x 11.5".

Lot's of measuring and tweaking to get that to fit up in the well on a '64.

To comment on the above w/ the discs. When I added discs to the rear, the hat of the rotor moves the track out 1/8". So yes, you would have less room with a disc brake rear.

Thank you very much. If I find one I'll take you up on that. I was lucky enough to find the sidepipes so maybe I'll locate a bar as well.
David

Thank you very much.

When you do switch if you want to sell the 15 X 10's I would be interested in them.
Thanks, David T

Chief455 & Thomasmoto-
Yes I will be selling my Centerlines, but I want to wait and see what the Boze wheels look like first. If I don't like the Boze then those are the tires and rims I will sell. I really like the look of the Warriors and I still have not totally bought into the idea of 17" rims on a my car.

cool, I am actively looking for a street set up.
Thomasmoto already landed the sidepipes - I need to land a wheel deal!
Seriously - please check in once you know. If I have found other wheels I'll post up
thanks. And your car is sick - 17's will look different, but probably equally as sick.
