What does everyone think of bigger wheels on our classic cars?
I ask since I have heard they are planning to do away with 13,14,15 in tires,which doesn't do well for a daily driver.
Companies like coker tire will still sell popular performance 14" and 15" tires. They even started to bring back the old goodyear gatorbacks.
I want my cuda to handle well and use modern rubber so i plan on purchasing 17" steelies from wheel vintiques, painting em body color, and snapping on a set of plymouth dog dishes to em. Its not a restoration so i feel its ok for this.
I think the larger 16, 17, and even some 18" wheels look good. I think its all in the style of the wheel, and stance of the car.
I'm sure everybody here could agree the shackles and air shocks stinkbug stance, *** end way up in the air with N50-15 fatties on cragar S/S wheels, and bondoed fender flares because they stick out past the fenders looks stoopid. Yeah this was popular in the 70s.
Id take a tastefully done mopar with minitubs and some tasty 17" rocket fuel or thrust wheels tucked neatly inside the fenderwells with wide rubber. the fat cragar stinkbug look needs to stay in the 70s along with bell bottoms, disco, and butterfly collars.
