Wheel Sizes for my 66
I want to order up some chrome "oe" style wheel vintuque wheels. I am thinking 15 x 7 right? what about back spacing? I would like to go 8 and have some more wheel hanging towards the bed. Anybody got any insight here. Thanks

Re: Wheel Sizes for my 66
I's suggest 7's in the front, but you can actually go 10's in the back depending on tire selection. Cou-gar here in Houston has 10's in the rear with 2.75/60-15's and they fill up the wheel well and don't rub.
Kind of helps your twin I not look so much like it has polio.
I have the Wheel Vintique reversed rims and I'm going 8's all the way around with 2.65/70-15's in the back and 2.25/70-15's in the front. Standard backspacing works.
I have the skinnies on the front because I don't have power steering (I have a manly straight axle 62 truck) and I'm just not as young as I used to be.
Just my dos centavos worth.

I'm not arguing with you. I'm just explaining why I'm right.
Pardon me. Does your deaug bite?
