Didn't read throught the rest of the thread to see if you rec'd an answer on this. I have 15" wheels on my car and the widest I could put on the rear of my 67' is 255/60 .. I have 215/70's in the front... If you are going square on your car for the stock factory look I can tell you that a friend of mine tried 235/70's on his car and he couldn't turn the wheels without causing fender damage. 225/70's were too close for comfort. The 215/70's were perfect. Can't give you any info on 60 series tires in the front, sorry. I am currently changing the tires on my car and going with the 215/70's in the front and 235/70's in the rear all on refreshed Rally II's. After 7 years of having the 255/60's on the rear and cragar's all around I've decided to go for a stock look.

You can fit a P275 or 28 x 11.5 ET Street w/ the right backspace. You did not have enough B-S.

i think i like the bare look the best,followed by the early flat trim rings.never really liked the rounded trim rings,took them off all the cars i had with them;73 TA,74TA,78TA.

thanks! yes, prostars.
15x8 4.5 bs 28x10.5 MT drag slicks

I like them, but am mounting drag radials and driving on the street soon.

thanks, Bud!
I know - 99% people think that - I want the wheels to be less generic.

[79TA455STROKED]

Here are a couple pics of the rear you asked for.Sorry about the quality,the car is in paint and i just threw a back tire on a snapped a couple pics.Its tight in the garage and i cant move the car because its on jackstands.You can see where i had to mod the seatbelt hump for the tire to clear.Its the biggest tire i could get in there without mini-tubbing.

Dude - you are getting your car deep into the NAST zone rear discs, fat tires, big pipes, sick power - nice!
I'd only run a 10" wide tire on the 10" rim, so would not need to mod as much.
You might have just convinced me I need a big 10 inch......rim.

73 ta -- 18x9 yearone snowflakes with 5 1/2 backspace wrapped in bfg ta kdw 255 40zr18 up front and out back 18x10 with 6" backspace with 295 35zr18. nothing rubs and car is lowered 2".

[HWYSTR455]

This is an older pic, but the only I have at the moment. This is with 2" drop spindles, which I replaced with 'regular height' spindles, and adjusted the spring, which gave me about 1.5" higher ride than shown. It was too slammed, and the geometry was boogered. FYI, never use drop spindles....

ROH RTs

18x9.5 front, 5.17 BS, 265/35s

18x10.5 rear, 5.95 BS, 285/35s

I can squeeze a 295/305 out back, maybe a 315, but finding matching tires for the front is an issue. If I would have gotten a little more offset in the front, I could have done a 275. Rolled lips and trimmed inner fenders. 255s would go without the fender & inner treatment.

[KCTurbo]

Sporter, how much backspace are you running with the 275/50 M/Ts?

Hey Stroked, That wouldn't happen to be a 944T in the background would it? I had a 944TS, one of the Silver Rose cars.
