'67 w/DSE & 275x18 help

[califconstruct]

.



I just ordered and received a set of Forgelines.
I have a stock subframe, Detroit speed arms, coil overs.
I did trim down the inner lip about half of the thickness that it had.

I ordered the 9" x 18" wheel. Which is actually a 10 inch wide wheel as
Forgeline measures on the inside lip. Backspacing was at 6 3/8 inch.
Mounted up Falken Azenis RT615. . 265 x 35 x 18. I expect the tire to rub a bit on the inner fender and restrict the turning radius a bit but overall fitment was dead on.
This measurement was taken from a friends car that has the same set up backset and tire size.

Not just forgeline, that is the right way to measure wheel width. Bead to bead.

thx guys but i should've been a bit clearer....i'm using a DSE subframe also. any input is appreciated. Wheels are too expensive to miss on fitment.

I have a 68 with DSE running 18x9's I think you would just need to modify the inner fender by the subframe for clearance.

Thx Jason, you running 275's on a 9 inch? If so did you have to modify the fender wells?

18x9.5 with 6.375 backspacing using a 275/35/18. Car sits very low and doesn't rub at all. No inner fender mods

I'm also running a DSE subframe in my 68 with Forgeline 18x10 275s and 6.5" back space. NO fender mods were required to either the inner or outer fenders. I did replace all the fenderwell bolts around the wheel opening with button head allen bolts but that was the extent of the fender mods. To date after a little over 8000 miles, I have not had a single tire rub. At my current ride height I can just get my fingers between the tire and inner fender but they have never rubbed yet even at full steering lock.
