So the ever popular and helpful dodgestang site has been updated with a new wheel/tire size chart. Check it out and please send in your wheel/tire/back spacing info with pics and any modifications to suspension to : webmaster@dodgestang.com My sizes and pics are already there, but I know you guys all have different sizes and information to add. Thanks..

LOL... I still like the PAk ass!! lol.. Every time I think PaK thats what pops in my head. Its just funny..
Im starting to think more towards the 17's now.. Its a mystery to me,, I love the 15's but I just keep pulling towards the 17 inch stance lowered to give it that track/road race look.. Even my wife said it.. so I dont know what to do, yet again.. I will probably end up dropping it another half inch or so and goinng with something different in a 17 inch.. Love those TTII's though..

B/s for a 15x8 in the rear would be 4.5, but what about up front with a 225 60 15? this whole wheel tire thing is crap.. Too many choices.. I think it would look good with a 225 60front /255 55 rear .. Any suggestions.. Again..
I feel like I ask this question every week..
-
how about the front? What size are you running coz?
-
I think the 225's are going to be a little small.. I would go with the 255's or like coz with the 275's .. When you do put them on please post a couple of pics so we can see how they fit, and let us know how you like them..

Here is my other post with pictures.. 245 45 17's front and 275 40 17's rear.. I wish they were taller in the back, it would have looked better.. I will probably stay with the 15 inch TTII idea.. I like the old school fat tire..

try out this calculator to see what you think will work.
-
will do.. I am going over at 2 today to test them out..
-
Yep... I know.. I just cant wait to see what they will look like.

Yea, he works at Discount tire and we are just going to put our cars up at the same time and swap the wheels over, then let me ride it around a little and see how it goes.. With my luck I will hit a curb or something and scrape the wheels to hell..

A guy I know is going to let me try out his 17x8 chrome bullets on my car. He's got them on a 64.5 with 245's up front and 275's in the rear (not sure about the profile) and air shocks. Hopefully they will fit under my rear end and not rub. the offset is at 0 so that should be 4 inches of backspacing .. I hope, they look good.. either way, i will take some pictures. I still think that I will end up with the 15 inch TTII's though with 225 60's up front and 255 60's in the rear.

I found this article and figured it would help out alot.. Especially if you want to see what a 16 inch tire looks like on a 69 Fastback

Heres my thread with the new springs installed and crappy rims.. Im going with some new TTII's shortly but need to get all the info first..
-
I would go with the Grab a track mid eyes... Actually, I did go with the mid eyes.. LOL.. If you drop the rear too much you will be stuck.. my suggestion is use the mid eyes, and if you still feel that it needs to go lower, then put in a spacer.. that way you can dial in the rear height.. and not drop it tooo much with the springs.. By the way, what b/s are you using?
-
how big of a difference did the 3.25's make ? Ive got a FMX tranny with 2.73's and I think 3.25's would be a good step up, but I do like how it runs on the freeway now..
-
The guy at discount tire gave me a price of 185 each for the TTII's 15x7 4.25bs and told me that as long as I ordered the correct wheel, he would change tires all day until I found the right fit. Once the wheel is mounted on the car, its mine... "I get paid by the hour man".. But Im still stuck with "do I want 15's or 16's ? 255's or 275's, or do I want to be able to rotate the tires by going with the same size all around?" buying wheels is a damn headache..
-
I dont know if I want to go larger.. I think that if I do I would only go up to 16" .. Im still wonderinig if that 275 would fit under my rear with it lowered 1 inch.. Im kinda scared to order and it not fit right.. Im thinking that the safest bet for me would be the 255 on a 15 inch.. Still not sure.. I know I can get a 255 on a 16 inch rim in the same type of tire.. but how would it look with a 15 on front and 16 on back?
-
Forgot to mention that the rear tires are 215 70 15's with like 3" B/S (i hate them) stupid previous owner.. And last night I took out that spacer so it does sit up about a half inch higher now.. I liked it as it sat in the pics..
-
I just found out that discount tire finances for 12 months intrest free.... Looks like i may get some new shoes pretty soon.. However I was disapointed that they dont carry BFG Geeforce in a 255 60 15.. the largest is 235 60 15.. I wanted to match the front tires, which I do like alot.. (225 60 15's) by type and just put a little more meat back there.. I may end up with TA's on the rear and mismached..
-
GAT 4.5 leaf mid eyes installed.. before and after. I left a spacer in so its actually about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower than it should sit..
