I just put 255/40R18 on the 69 I am building for my wife and they look fine. 8.5" wheel with 5.5 backspacing and Tru-turn.

Maybe go with 255/35 up front.

so in in effort to keep in a 18" rear wheel what if I dropped down to this

255/35ZR18
(94Y) XL
300 AA A 1,477 lbs. 50 psi 10/32" 25 lbs. 8.5-10" 9" 10.2" 9.5" 25" 832 US


295/35ZR18
(103Y) XL
300 AA A 1,929 lbs. 50 psi 10/32" 28 lbs. 10-11.5" 10.5" 11.9" 10.8" 26.1" 797 FR

how does a 295/35/18 look on a 18x11 wheel?

thank you Don, as you can see this all very confusing to me

I spent hours researching tire combos for my 69.

It seems a shame to go to all the expense of minitubbing and then use a 295 tire.

Schwartz has Forgelines 20% off and I am sure they could give you good advice on a tire combo.
