What kind of wheels does Big-Mac have?

[TruckeeFastback]

OK, I'm back after putting the fastback on the back burner due to lack of funds. My ship has come in (well canoe anyways) and I'm ready to do wheels/suspension & brakes.

I like Big-Mac's wheels. What are they? Also, I've got a 9" rear end from the previous owner. Anyone know what I can fit in there for a wheel/tire?

If I go with the Cobra disc conversion up front and some 17" or 18" wheels, what sort of suspension should I be looking at? From reading some old threads, the GW kit might interfere. Is Dolfan's kit available yet? What about TCP?

Thanks

Oh yea, it's a 68 Fastback.

I believe they are 18" Ford FR500s.

So they aren't available in 17x8 like everyone recomends for a vintage Mustang.

I like the more traditional "deep dish" look of the 10.5 wide ones. Any thoughts on narrowing the 17x10.5 wheels?

Is there a photo with Big-Mac's car with those wheels? Are they the 18 x 8.5?

yeah there 18's, there should be pics floating around here some where.

I think that the fronts were 18x9 but he had the fronts to 18x8.
