Hi everyone.
New to this site.
Have a question on tire fitment.
Seen the dodgestang, Halibrand and VMF charts, as well as the info on running 275/40/17's. Still can't find what I am looking for.
Currently I am running 16X8 Vintage Wheel Works V45's with 4.5"bs all around.
225/50/16's up front and 235/55/16's rear.
I originally had 225/50/16's on the rear and found them to be too short.
Thinking of stepping up to 17's or staggered 17's and 18's. Likely Torq Thrust II's (I know everyone has 'em) 7" fronts with 4" or 4.25" bs and 8" rears with 4.75" bs.
Pretty firm on running a 205/50/17 up front. Have a negative wedge kit and 620lb coils + hooker super comps. Don't want to go with a lower profile than my current setup. Bad roads around here.
Want the widest and tallest tires I can fit on the rear without looking goofy. Seems the safe bet is a 245/45/17. I see lots of guys are running 255/40/17's. Think they will be short like the 225/50/16's I originally had.
For that reason I would love to run a 255/45/17. They would be the exact same height as what is currently on the car, just wider, hoping the backspacing can solve that.
So............................ Is anyone running a 255/45/17 on a 65/66?
As for the staggered 17's &18's, it seems like tire selection is very limited when going that route. Have only seen the quicksilver stang and boyds fastback running staggered setups. Both are running taller rears than what I currently have.
Anyone else have pics of 65/66's with staggered setups?
Here are pics of my car in its current state.
