I know your looking at a bigger wheel but I had 17x11 with a 315/40/17 on the back of mine, 5.5 back spacing and all i did was roll the outer lip a little and they never rubbed. I have a few pics of the car on the track and you can see the wheel going into the wheel well. I'm still running springs in the rear.

My 67 Bird
18x8 and 18x10.5 no tub And I could not be happier http://forums.performanceyears.com/f...d.php?t=714841 the most perfect fit would have been 4 13/16 BS front and 5 7/8 BS rear Big sway bars and perfect bump stops keep you from worrying about rub. 285/40/18 has the perfect height and width for a 67 F body. |

Your example illustrates that the key to getting the proper look is how the tire/wheel fits the wheel opening, not necessarily how low the car is. The 285 is nominally about 27 inches tall. The larger diameter lets you fill the wheelwell without having to run so low. Anyone looking to duplicate could go as small as a 9.5 inch rim width and still be inside the manufacturers recommendations. The bumpstop is an important part, because that tire/wheel isn't going to tuck inside the wheelwell. |
