Hey Jarhead,
I don't mean to hijack your thread, but all the talk of steel wheels here gets me excited. I'm a steel wheel guy. I just got a new set of Wheel Vintiques Mopar steelies for my Falcon in 15x8--yeah, I'm also committed to 15-inch wheels for some reason. I know the Mopar wheels are somewhat wrong (but look so good!), but they do use the same bolt pattern, and you can't see my brake rotors/calipers behind them (cool!). I wish I had a picture, as they're made for dog-dish/poverty caps, but I'm just going to run them plain, like the caps fell off or something...
Continue the cool stuff with the Torino--you'll love the difference the new goodies make!

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. I still have my custom arched leafs that Dever Spring made for me hanging around (about 2" lower ride height). If you get out this way I'd give them to you.
