Gotta get that stance!

[Nelson7604]

Update! Apparently the Cragars are 14's rather than 15's...Even Better!

I got BF Goodrich Radial T/A 245/60 for the back and I am ordering 215/60 for the front.

I have an old 185/70 (roughly the same sidewall height as 215/60) already on the cragar.
I bolted it on and it looks good except that it is too skinny for the rim (6") so I'm going bigger.

I still have plenty of clearance in the back so I shouldn't have any issues with my new tires rubbing!

This picture has 245/60r14 rear and 185/70r14 front...It's kind of hard to see the stance right, but I think it is close...Any suggestions?

Here is mine in work. It still has the 225 in it waiting for the 440. 225/70/15 on 7" rim in the back and 5.5 on the front.

I like the look and stance. Do you have any recent photos? Did you go with the 14's? That's what I am thinking of getting.

The pic of the '68 has the stance I want.

Which combination of tires is best to maintain the proper "muscle car" stance?

Thanks.

That car look a lot like Wayne Smothers car out of Oklahoma. He's not here at FABO. He's on moparts and goes by "Big Squeeze".

Here's mine. 15x6.5 on 225/60 up front and 15x8 on 275/60 out back. Stock suspension

Here is the stance on my almost finished 66 Barracuda. My car will be set up for cornering..
It has 205/65's on 15 x 7 in wheels.

I replied to your PM. The only mod I did was to trim the inner fender lip. 15x8" rim with a 4.5" back spacing. 5 on 4.5 large bolt pattern.
