8" wheel up front

ive heard that one 15x8 you can but a 245/60-15 all for corners its tight and the fender needs to be rolled but it works

 

I ended up ordering some 7" wheels since i couldn't get a straight anwser maybe they will look like i want them too.vintage road race is the vibe

 

Your good at fabing. I thought you woulda made it fit. I would.

 

I love the old classic trans am cars probably my favorite sort of racing....

 

yeah could had the problem was the 8's i wanted didnt come with more then a 4" backspace

 

typicaly 15x8s require 4.5 bs but since mavs are small opening 4.75bs could of worked along with trimming part of the front valance...but guess it doesntmatter since you got 15x7s lol
but cheap insurance for anyone in the market for rims and not quite sure on backspace...is to get more bs then you need, as you can always push a rim back out but not back in!

but ofcourse if you know the correct bs info then that cancels the above statement out

 

theses are 3.75 back space on a 7" wheel if id known there was this much room i would had got a 8" with a 4"


and yes there is a reason i chose what i did

 

I am looking at more of an Eileen II look, with 17X8 all around. Fan2488 has offered to come over and put his wheels on my car and I can see how wide I can go on the rear, but I will stick with the 235s he has on front, most likely.

I will mess with the bs on the rear for extra width, trying to match up my 255s that I have now. I am pretty sure he has 235s all around. I want to go a bit wider in the rear. But use the same rims. Just squeeze into the rear whatever will fit.

This is in upcoming weeks (or months) and of course, pictures as the progress happens.

And now, I have someone interested in my rims, and he is strongly encouraging me to get these new wheels so he can have mine! :Handshake

 

Don't know if this helps but here's 15 x 8 front, 15 x 10 rear. Fronts are Mopar cop car wheels from the 70's. Rears are Wheel Vintiques 68-71 Chevy truck ralley wheels with a Ford bolt pattern and 5" BS. The Mopars have a 4" BS. Tires up front are either 225/60's or 235's (I don't recall and it's too early to go look) Rears are 295/50's

 

did you ever get a chance to check the front size?

 

235/60/15. They do rub occasionally on hard bumps or when turned all the way. Not a problem though. 215 or 225's would have been a better fit, not sure though about how 215's would look on 8" wheels.

 

Those are Cragar V5's ? I've got a set on my 89 Ranger(15 x 7 & 10). And two (15 x 10)on that trailer hooked to the Comet.

 

Joe Dirt you bugger you stole my wheel idea! Back to the drawing board I guess lol
P.S. I love that white comet with the steel wheels

 

aww you havent seen what ive done with em yet

 

Haha get some pics up I want to see what my wheels look like lol
Those wheels come in the perfect size to fit 295's on too jeez I can't have the same wheels as somebody though that would be UNACCEPTABLE!
