hi everyone. on tuesday i'm ordering my new wheels and tires my q' is does anyone know what size i can go with, i am looking at an 18'' the wheel being 8.5'' wide and putting a 10.1'' wide tire on it. i talked to schwabbs today (i have some good connections there), and they told me i should take some measurements to know if it will clear my leaf springs. the wheels i am going with are the foose nitrous. thanx, Rich

oh yeah my car is a 67 :)

I guess that means you're using a 255 tire in the rear - a 255/45-18 on an 8.5 wide wheel? If so that will work fine and a 5" backspace wheel should be good.

great thanx, i appreciate it, rich
