19/20 combo on 79 bird
 

i am looking to buy foose speedster wheels and was wondering if anyone could give me a suggestion on tire size and what backspacing/offset i should run, i am looking at a 245 35 19 and a 265 35 19, i would like to keep the sidewall about the same height. i am also lowering my car 2.5-3" inches in the front and 1.5" in the rear.

thanks for your help

I would do a 8 with a 4.5 BS up front and a 9.5 with a 5.5 BS on the rear.

that would be fine with the tire size i'm going to run

thanks again

I just fitted my 79 T/A with 20" X8.5 rims with 5"BS
Perfect fit.

did you do 20's all the way around? what size tire did you run?

alicia

Yes.

20 all around.
Front 255/35/20
Rear 255/45/20

Rear tires are 29" tall, so if you put regular 27" (like my front) you can go larger)

what offset are your wheels, did you lower your car at all.

thanks
