Wheels and Tires....
Got a MINT set of these from Dave (nopants68) for Kasey's 63 and she snubbed her nose at them. I was like they would be cool on your car, she said no thanks, so I am putting them on mine.
Need some steelies, but can only find these...

From previous conversation FE Torino said
"In the rear your tire is the same height as my 345 30 19 so it will tuck in and fill your wheel well really nice. FYI without tubs and with about 5.75" to 6" of BS you can fit a 285 tire on the rear of your car with the leaf springs.
Up front the shape of the fender lip makes it difficult to slam the car and get a good turning radius with a wide tire. Typically most tires on the front of the cars you see on here are 25.5" to 26" tall.
With your GW stuff I bet you can drop the front about 2" and still get decent turn radius with a 27" tall tire at 235mm wide, if the BS on the wheels is right. The taller tire will actually tuck up farther in the fender and give a more lowered look.
AND
A 285 fits out back with leaf springs and no tubs I did a 285 17 on teh rear of mine for the first time around. I think a 275 40 18 for the rear and a 255 35/40 18 for the front on 18x10s. That's 25"/26" tall front and 26.5" tall rear. They will fill the wheel wells up. I had a 245 on a 8.5" wheel up front with my shock tower suspension so I'm sure you can fit the 255 as long as the car isn't super slammed.
Currently have 235-60-16
Going for this look
This 68 pictured has 17 x 9's all around. 245/45's up front and 275/40's in the back
With that said will a 285 fit on a 9" wheel?
I currently have 5" backspace on my Cragar's, and what do I make of this offset calc?
Backspacing (in):5.125 in.
Offset:+3.00mm
Thanks, Joe
