1963-1/2 Ford Falcon Futura

That's a lot of cool stuff--it's not even a holiday yet! I do remember how quickly the tire rubbing issues on the Falcon can prompt one to act, however; the panhard was excellent for setting a final tire size. My final wheel and tire size with the panhard/stick axle setup was a 15x8 and a 225-45 (Hankook RS3). I had zero rub with decent articulation, but it took some metal removal from the inner fender.

Have you had the opportunity to try the GT 350 out at Barber Motorsports Park?

I’ve got a 17x7” wheel with a 225/40r17 on it and they fit fine except when cornering and then they rubbed slightly. I rolled the inner fender lip pretty dramatically though.

I haven’t had the chance to take the GT350 out on Barber’s yet, but a ride in a GT350R around Barber’s is what convinced me to buy the car. The R is sweet, but I am scared of the carbon wheels...& the additional cost .
