Post your wheel and tire combos.

Higgs - I'm getting ready to order my tires for my '65 Valiant. I was going to go with a 225/45/17 on the front, Boss 338 17x8 wheels. Do you think I will have any rubbing issues? I'm back and fourth on whether I should go with a 40 or 45 ratio. My rears are going to be 40. I am curious of what kind of clearance you have with your 205's?

hey melee, how are u?? sorry for the delay, i just saw this post this morning..........

i don't have any rubbing issues on the car whatsoever, the 205/45/17's are 24 inches tall, and fitment is perfect. i couldn't tell what u might run into with your combination, my wheels are a 4.25 bs.

i almost bought there 17x8 w/4.50 bs for the rear, but did not because it would've been a really tight fitment, and didn't want any problems with the wheels/tires rubbling. now that i have the 17x7's on the back, it looks like they probably would've fit, but it would have been tight.

i don't know anything about your boss 338 17x8 wheel, i would say that back spacing will play a part as to if u will have any problems or not. i picked the 205/45/17 because that tire was the same basic size in diameter that i was already running, so i knew they would work. the tire that came off was 24.5 inches tall.

here's the link where i purchased my wheels if your interested, they have 17's, 18's, sbp, bbp, in different styles and are very well priced!

hope this helps.......
