18" Wheels on a 66' Cuda - Advice

[Idaho]

Love this car. The paint is incredible. This car needs those new wheels. Beautiful my friend.

That blacked out ride is begging for some 18s. It will be BAD.

Already bought and mounted wheels so they are mine now.

That doesn't look that bad. I'd roll the quarter lip and not worry about it too much. If it does rub on the wheel tub when heavily loaded you could always throw a set of stiffer springs in the back, or even add a helper leaf or override spring. Not the ideal way to do it, but it would be a lot less expensive than a new set of springs.

doing the same with my car next spring, guess i will also have to move to the ghetto, due to ruining my classic car.

oh wait...I paid for my car, and dont remember anyone else offering to help with that, so i guess I can do what i want with it.
ps, cant wait to see how it looks when you get the wheels on.

I'm thinkin" your svelte Barracuda would look great with a set of these. They come in all sizes for small bolt pattern.

Those don't look black though. I think you need flat or gloss black centers. Maybe powdercoated?

I run 17x8 on my 65. 18's would work fine as long as you use the correct back spacing. I had AR TT2s, 17x8 with 4.75 BS, 245/40-17 tires front and rear. Currently running Cragar soft 8s, 17x8 with 4.5bs, 225/40-17 front, 245/40-17 rear.
