I am finalizing a 1965 fastback build. I am at the point that I need to order wheels and tires for the car, and am still procrastinating because I am not sure what I want. Since it is a restomod shelby re-creation with modern suspension and steering, I was thinking to go with 16's or 17's. I would like to get as much rubber under the car in the rear so a 16 or 17x8 wheel is where I am leaning. Very few wheels that I have found offer a 4.75" or 5" backspacing. I prefer the 5" backspace as I could always use a spacer if needed.
Wheel choices are so hard, I have been trying to stay with the conventional thrust D design, or one of the many variation of this style wheel. But am in no way stuck to this design only. Your Opinions Please!!!!!!
I would appreciate any opinions as well as pics of your wheels and fitting issues that you have run into.
The more the better. Lets see what you got, and how it looks.....
