Tire Sizing Help for a '67 Formula S Barracuda
Thanks for the confirmation on what wheel sizes you are running. I had a really good discussion with Bill Reilly (The RMS Alterkation guru himself), and had the dimensions nailed down enough to select these rims for the front:
They're the 17x7 Foose Legends (in black). They have 4" backspacing and a +1mm offset. What kind of tire size did you use on your car? I'm thinking or either 235/45/17 or 245/45/17 for the front, since the height dimension would be either 25.4 or 25.7 respectively. I've seen on several threads in this forum that 26.1" is about the max diameter you want to run up front for clearance issues/rubbing in the wheel well.
Thoughts?
