For wheel choice, we decided that the grey center CL205's will be great for the look we are trying to achieve with this car. Of coarse if it were mine, I would be running some flat black Fiske's, Rushforth or something of that nature. I might also have every piece of chrome powder coated flat black.
We will save that for my project, if I ever get one.

From the research we have done so far, it looks like the rear wheels will be 17x8 with 4.5 backspace, front will be 17x7 with 4.25 backspace. 225/40 front with 255/35 or 40 rear.

Of coarse we will measure everything ourselves before we order, but has anyone ran anything wider in front or rear of these tri-fives? Without moving leaf spring, tubbing or notching frames? I tried talking him into it but he just will not do it.


Thanks,
DW
