I installed these ARE TT2 15" wheels and Firestone Indy 500 Firehawks tires back in December. They are the first ever none factory items installed on this car. It's a 22,000 actual-miles, garage-kept car. Every part on the car is factory original...even the spark plugs and tires were original when I bought it 1 1/2 yrs ago. And, believe me when I say it is a real PITA to work on considering the rusted bolts. But, the great thing is the and trunk are very solid and rust free. I have it on the lift now converting it to 4 wheel discs with a hydro boost unit; installing a new T400 with a Gear Vendors unit; installing a built E-headed, roller cammed 428; and, I've already installed a completely rebuilt rear housing with a 3.42 posi. Oh, I've put a total of 34 miles on the car since I bought it.

Cool, another 65 post. I absolutly love Jerry H's post. Just the way I like them with the steelies and dog dishes. Your TT2's are nice on that car, I like the color. Heck, I put 38 miles on my car today. I try to get it out and at least put on 50 a week. It hasent broke, overheated, or gave out yet so I think after a fuel pump and new mufflers it will be fully ready for the cruising season. The rallies on the car were bought from the big car parts for sale section. KGTO had them. He blasted them, and then painted them up with the stencils kit and got some deeper dish rings on them. He did a real good job.

What's a hydro-boost unit? Is that the Power Brakes via power steering pump? Where did you get that setup?

I'm late in the game but here's my 65 with Rally II's, 225/70/15's and yes they rub on the outside (on the fender skirt mount) in turns in the rear...



(looks better now that I've shined up the tires!)

I'd like to put some 17's and 255 wide tires on if I can manage it. Problem will be rubbing in the front on turns near full lock.
