no suspension mods
i am needing ideas for wheels for the cuda. i have thrown around the idea of
15x8 cop wheels with 255/60r15's, but i notice that a couple of people have 67-69 cudas have 275's without changing suspension. they are running lower profile tires, but how much flex will i get with a 275/50r15? i might even go with 17 inch wheels too. maybe paint the centers of some AR daisy 200s rims.
With a low-profile, stiff-sidewall tire like Modcuda's, you can get away with 1/4" clear to the springs. A generic 50-series will be more tolerant of minimal clearances than a generic 60 or 70-series, so that needs to be accounted for. For a 275/50, I bet anything greater than 1/4" would be fine if you kept the tire pressure at 36 or so.

Does anyone have or know of a 17" rim with old ford or mopar bolt pattern. I thought it would be cool to find a spare i could actually fit in my 64s spare tire sump without comming up out of the hole. I was thinking a new mustang might work, any ideas? Something like this one below. These kinda spares are small enough to fit in the old 64s hole I think. I think a 17x7 regular rim would be too wide.
