Hmm put me on that list although I do like an 18/19 combo like Mark did on Mayhem.

I think I still have all the paper work for the car somewhere. PM me and I'll see if I can find it.

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.

I would love to see those pics if you have time to post them

The rear should be 19" and front is 18". I have 18" all the way around on my 67 Camaro, but the 19" on Mayhem seems to fill the wheelwell better.

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.

Well done, and this fitment shows that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

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.
