Tire and wheel sizes IDEAS??

[Commando66]

Yes, it will have to be narrowed. I don't have mine narrowed, but you are welcome to come see my car. It's mini-tubbed w/springs moved in and 295's.

i love torq thrusts, but american racing doesnt make them as nice as ET does right now. really vintage is the best choice all the way round.
steelies are a good choice too.
here is my 65.
15X5" 165 80 r15 up front
15X7" 245 60 r15 in back
as for 17" wheels, i just cant get used to the look.
throws whole cars off for me.

here's some torq thrusts, 15x7 in the rear with a 235-60-15 and a 14x6 in front with a 160-70-14 i think, wanting to go with a 15x10 or 15x12 in back really bad!!!

my car is switched over to BBP.
the front wheels are these:

this setup definitely inspired by some of the ramchargers cars which ran chrome reverse wheels up front and white steelies in the back

whats the biggest size tire i can fit on my 1965 barracuda with doing a spring relocation kit but with out mini tubs

i would like to do torq thrust 2 wheels 15x10 with 295 50 15 in rear and 15x7 in front

I fit 245's front and rear without spring relocation.

On my 65 Cuda I have 275's on the rear with the springs moved in. This is in the stock wheel well. I don't think anything bigger can fit. With a 17 x 9 it leaves about 1/4 of an inch around the tire with the correct back spacing of 5.95 inch's.

I'm runing 17's in a classic 5 spoke. Rims are 17 x 9 and 17 x 8 on the front.

You would have to do a mini-tub w/295. I think a 255/60 will fit with the right offset and/or offset hangers and shackles.

Agreed.

The largest tire I could get on my '68 Dart is a BFG 255/60R-15.

Offset spring hangers, rolled inner fender lip.

In my car, the Max available wheel-well width is 12".

Wheels are 15 X 9 Cragar SS, with a 5" off-set.
