Hey Mike how are you doing? I raised the front wheel openings 2" and notched the frame for my 255/40R17s. Andrew

I did do a minitub but here are my combos Front17x8 Bullitts wrapped in 255/40-17 Sumitomos Rear-17x10.5 Bullitts wrapped in 315/35-17 Sumitomos (way to close to fender, adjustments were made here.) Sorry I have on shot where you can see the front of the front tires. Andrew

heres mine andrew

Idaho, I could not get the tire on, the offset wasn't large enough for a stock length A body axle. The fender lip is trimmed down to .5" and the entire inner fender was removed. Pics below

Here is my combo: front-17"x8" Bullitts w/255x17 sumitmos, Rear- 17"x10.5" Bullitts w 315x17 Sumitmos. Andrew

74, yes, but the $600-$800 per rim and more for the rubber will have to wait until I win the lottery. What I should have done was cut the axle shorter than a standard A body length. It sucks when your math is wrong. But they look cool at this point. Andrew

74, Im starting with one of Denny's K members and actually moving the wheel out 1" we'll see what it takes to make it work. heres one of the 315s Andrew

I dont think it will help you but Im running 17x10.5 w/315s in the back and 17x8 w/ 255s on the front, with a mini-tub in the rear. Andrew

When I assemble my front end from Denny Ill post pics, Im using the Wilwood pro 2" drop spindle and 17"x8" wheels. Andrew

Even though I measured many times it was too close to run the tires. They actually rubbed the inner fender quite badly to the point I had to cut the entire inner fender out and rebuild it now I have 3/4" of room. Andrew

I just read through the entire thread and am hopeful that the17x8 bullitts will fit on the front with Denny's K member. We'll see. In the meantime I thought I had posted the pics from under the rear of the car with the rims on, I had not. This is a stock A body length axle with the 17x10.5/...

the original version of Blue. Andrew

here are mine, 17x10.5 with 315s from american muscle largest backspace available still not enough Andrew.

thanks for the info, I currently have 315s on 17x10.5 in the rear, so effectively I would end up with a narrower tire to the pavement than I have now. Andrew

72, was there any problem with mounting the 335s on the 10" rims? I have been entertaining doing the same thing but thought the fit might be a problem. Andrew

Needsaresto they are from a pathfinder. check my thread on members restos. Andrew

Here's my vote Andrew

OK, so it looks like If I go to the 18s in the rear I will have to sell the 17s and get another set for the front. we'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Thanks RJ and its good to hear from you. Dion, what size rims and backspacing are you running in the front? Andrew

RJ, they are 17x10.5" with a 1.1" offset, so thats a 6.35" backspace. Andrew

The reason I asked is that have the rims that the 315s are currently on and if I go to the 18s to run 335s in back, I wanted to put the 17s on the front with thinner tires. I was told by my tire guy that the thinnest I could go is 275s. By the way if I actually have to cut sheet metal on this...

Any one with an Alterkation could help me here. Will a 17"x275 tire fit in the front with an alterk? Andrew

RJ, you are still friggin alive:cheers: Andrew

the Misiile 1976, rallys up front, 15" ARs in back with M-50s

River Rat, Thats a sweet looking ride. from where does your name come from? It wouldnt be a school would it? Andrew

Hey MoPar420, In case nobody's said it recently THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE! Get home safely, we want to see the car completed. Andrew

When moving the axle back you also need to pay attention to how you are going to connect your shocks to the car. The original locations will not work. with all the work im doing to the missile I would have shifted the axle back but it really screws the shock issue. Andrew

Grassy, I minitubbed and am going to a four link system tucked into the frame rail. I now have the room for 335/30/18s but the rim/ tire combo thing is hanging me up.The minitub thread is on body/interior and the 4link thread is on suspension. Andrew

Thanks all for the replys Andrew

Could someone tell me what the equivalent tire would be to the M-50 MTs I ran on the original Missile? Andrew

The rear wheels on the missile were unilugs, and while I did alot of long distance crusing with them I would not like to repeat the experience. I agree with these guys get the right size to start with. Andrew
